slow down the motorcycle.

are in Neutral when you come to a
complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both brakes
at the same time. Normally the front brake
should be applied a little more than the
rear. De-clutch as necessary to keep the
engine from stalling.

Never lock the brakes, or it will cause the
tyre to skid. When cornering, use brakes
judiciously and do not de-clutch. Reduce
your speed before you get into the corner.
