Aldea Henry , instructor fostered by PT Astra Honda Motor ( AHM ) who became a national champion in 2013 riding safety , sharing safety tips about braking on the motor matic . "If the sport model or use a wet clutch ( no clutch lever duck models ) , no braking assistance with the help of the engine ( engine break ) , in the motor matic baseball there , " Aldea said . Here's the anticipation .
1 . Pulling the lever brakes with four fingers . This is essential in order to achieve maximum results while braking .
2 . Pull the brake lever gradually or incrementally , so that the wheels do not lock all of a sudden . Thus , the initial pressure of the brake lever , starting from the little finger , respectively to the index finger . " Squeeze technique like the clothes , sorted so gradual , " Aldea said .
3 . Polar front brakes . When there is a large load on the front brakes . So that any portion should be more on the front brakes . According Aldea able to anticipate so that it does not slip .
4 . Set composition or portion of the pressure between the front and rear brakes . There is no standard theory to explain it and just rely on feeling . " Everything can be felt wearing feeling . When should continue braking , or loosened , " Aldea said . Especially when the road surface at high risk , such as wet roads , sand or oil spills ( oil or diesel ) .
Explained , pull the lever gradually and felt well . If the motor is already showing signs of slippage , not added pressure on the brake , follow aja , feel, " Aldea said .
5 . Do not panic . Accidents often happen because of motorists panic and pull the brake lever deep . The option is actually very dangerous , because it causes the motor to slip and fall . " It was due to the tires ' nge -lock ' . While the tire to grip the road there , " Aldea said .
According Aldea , if all the braking techniques have been mastered and made a habit , then in a sudden matter , braking patterns it will be the driver of a reflex movement . Happy driving !
