What is the safest way to handle braking for a curve?
- A.Brake hard only after you are fully leaned over
- B.Slow down before entering the curve, while the motorcycle is upright
- C.Use only the rear brake in the middle of the curve
- D.Never slow down for curves
Correct answer
B. Slow down before entering the curve, while the motorcycle is upright
Why
Do most of your slowing before the curve, while the motorcycle is upright and has full traction available. Braking hard while leaned over uses up traction needed for turning.
