If you enter a turn too fast, what is generally the best response?
- A.Brake hard immediately in the middle of the lean
- B.Sit up and look straight ahead
- C.Maintain your lean, look through the turn, and press more to tighten the turn while avoiding abrupt braking
- D.Put a foot down to stabilize the motorcycle
Correct answer
C. Maintain your lean, look through the turn, and press more to tighten the turn while avoiding abrupt braking
Why
Panicking and braking hard mid-turn can use up traction and cause a fall. Stay focused through the turn, maintain or increase the lean by pressing, and keep inputs smooth; reduce speed before turns to avoid this situation.
