without doing this may cause turnover accident.●Drive the vehicle only on the driveway. Driving on the walkway

can cause accident. Also, if the wheel is transformed whenadvancing directly to the walkway, the vehicle can be overturnedresulting in injury of the driver due to the driving unstability.

●Overspeed driving on the unpaved road can cause the vehicle tobe overturned resulting in injury of the driver due to the drivingunstability.

●Do not drive in the gravel road. If any gravel enters the wheel orengine case, the vehicle can be overturned resulting in injury ofthe driver.

●If possible, do not drive close to the sea or on the road wherecalcium chloride is treated. The muffler, external parts andwelded parts can be corroded rapidly, and also in case of damageof the frame, the vehicle can be overturned resulting in injury ofthe driver.

The basic principle of turn is balancing using the centrifugal force which makes vehicle go outside and the gravity which makes vehicle fall inside.

The centrifugal force increases in inverse portion to the radius of a curve and in portion to the square speed. Decelerate prior to entering the curved way to reduce the centrifugal force.

The basic principle of turn is balancing using combined force of the centrifugal force and the gravity. All 3 positions require straightening the head and keeping the eyes horizontally.

< LEAN-WITH >This is a turning position with motorcycle and driver in a line.This position is the most natural and exact, so driver must learn it thoroughly.

< LEAN-IN >This is a turning position with driver leaned inside more than motorcycle. This position is adequate to drive on the rained or slippy road because it has best road holding.However, special attention is required because front visual field is poor when driver leans inside more than motorcycle.

54

< LEAN-OUT >This is a turning position with motorcycle leaned inside more than driver, which is opposite to the lean-in position. With this position, quick turn is well performed and driver can obtain wide front visual field adequate to drive on the rained or slippy road because it has best road holding. However, special attention is required because there is danger of slipping on the bad holding road.

① Turn the throttle grip to its original position and decelerate using both front and rear brakes.

② Lean the vehicle toward inside of turn circle while driving slowly at constant speed.

③ Accelerate gradually.

Do not drive inside of large truck's turn circle.

< DEAD ANGLE ZONE >Dead angle zone is the sight range which cannot be identified by driver and increases in proportion to the width of the motorcycle.

< DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL TURN >It is distance between path of the front and rear wheel and increases in proportion to the length of the motorcycle.

PRECAUTION WHEN TURNING

**VL125(48P~) 02.11.5 4:44 PM 페이지55

56

● Vehicle is braked using friction between road surface and tires.

● Braking distance increases 1.5 times on wet road and 3 times on icy road because friction force of road surface is decreased.

Due to the inertia, motorcycle does not stop immediately after applying the brake.

● Turn the throttle grip to its original position and decelerate using the engine brake.

● Erect the motorcycle straight.● Brake using both front and rear brakes.

·Vehicle speed : 50 km/h

Learn the proper braking method to prevent accident.

Impact increases in proportion to the speed and weight. The impact when collision to concrete wall at 50 km/h is same as one when falling from the height of 10m.
