Compression Braking When Slowing & Stopping

My Wife rides a Burgman 650. I noticed when following her that she would be almost stopped before the brake lights would come on. The 650 has such strong compression braking that you don’t have to use the brakes early on when preparing to stop.

This seems dangerous to me because it doesn’t give people following adequate warning that she is slowing and will be stopping. I have been encouraging her use some light breaking or at least tap the brakes a few times to activate the brake lights when she rolls off the throttle so folks will know that she is slowing
