REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
– Hold the throttle to maintain your
low speed.
– Look in the direction of the curve.
– Turn the handlebar in the direction of
the curve, pulling on the inside hand-
grip and pushing on the outside, be-

– Leaning forward and into the curve
may help you turn the handlebar

NOTE:
Motorcyclists - Riding through
turns and curves with your Spyder
roadster is different than on a motorcy-
cle. The vehicle does not lean in a turn,
so you may need to shift your body
weight to the inside of the turn to keep
a comfortable posture on the vehicle.
You will need to exert more force to
turn the handlebar of your vehicle than
is needed to turn a motorcycle. How-
ever, it is easier to stop while turning
than with a motorcycle.
Tips for Additional Practice
– After you are comfortable turning in
one direction, try going around the
course the other way. Be careful
not to apply more throttle than you
intend when turning left.
– Stop at the apex of the turn to see
what it's like to use your brakes in a
curve or turn.
