What to Bring 

Bring six small objects that you can use as markers. Milk cartons or plastic bottles with a little water or sand in the 
bottom work well. Do not leave them at the practice area when you leave. If you cannot find any small objects, bring 
some chalk to draw markers on the pavement. 
 

 

Exercise 1 - Normal Stop in a Straight Line 

Practicing this exercise will help you stop smoothly, such as for stoplights and stop signs. 
 

Directions 

Accelerate straight ahead across the parking lot between 15-20 mph (shift to second gear). Begin to slow down and 
downshift at the first marker. Try to come to a smooth non-skidding stop with your front tire next to the last marker. 
 

Coaching Tips 

1.  Keep head and eyes up. 
2.  Keep the motorcycle on a straight course. 
3.  Gradually apply both brakes and squeeze the clutch, downshifting to first gear at the same time. Keep the 

clutch squeezed in. 

 

4.  Do not release the front and back brakes until you come to a complete stop. 
5.  When stopped, the left foot should come to the ground first. 

 

Common Problems 

1.  Rear tire skids. 
2. Overshooting 

marker. 

3.  Unstable during stop. 

 

Basic Corrections 

1.  Apply less pressure on the rear brake. 
2.  Begin slowing and braking sooner, or try slightly more pressure on the brakes. 
3.  Keep head and eyes up during stop. Delay braking until necessary. 

 

Exercise 2 - Quick Stop in a Straight Line 

Practicing this exercise will help you stop quickly when something suddenly appears in your path. 
 

Directions 

Approach marker 1, upshifting to second gear. As you r front tire passes marker 1, downshift and begin braking. Try to 
stop before marker 2. Practice this at 10 mph, then 15 mph, then 20 mph. Do not exceed 20 mph. 
 

Coaching Tips 

1.  Keep head and eyes up. 
2.  When stopping, apply both brakes and squeeze the clutch, downshifting to first gear. Keep the clutch 

squeezed in. 

3.  Keep handlebars straight. Squeeze front brake – don’t grab.  
4.  Do not release brakes until fully stopped. 
5.  When stopped, the left foot should touch the ground first. 

 

Common Problems 

1.  Overshooting the final marker. 
2.  Motorcycle slides sideways, or leans to one side. 
3.  Engine over-revs when using the front brake. 

 

Basic Corrections 

1.  Apply more pressure to brakes; however, avoid locking front brake by squeezing, not grabbing, the lever. 
2.  Sit straight on seat and do not turn handlebars, look straight ahead. NOTE: if the rear wheel inadvertently 

locks, keep steering the motorcycle straight.
