REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
on the vehicle. You will need to exert
more force to turn the handlebar of
your vehicle than is needed to turn a
motorcycle. However, it is easier to
stop while turning than with a motor-
cycle.
This exercise is similar to what you
did before, except that now instead of
stopping for each turn, you will make
the turn in the friction zone.
– Proceed down the straight away in
first gear.
– As you approach the curve, slow
down to no more than 8 km/h
(5 MPH) by pulling in the clutch lever
and apply brake if needed.
– Hold the clutch lever in the friction
zone 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-
ing careful not to roll on the throttle.
– It might be helpful to lean forward
and into the curve. This may help
you turn the handlebars more easi-
ly.
– Straighten your handlebar after the
turn and proceed down the straight-
away.

3. Apex
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.
6) Quick Stops
Purpose
– Become familiar with the vehicle’s
braking ability.
– Learn to apply brakes with maxi-
mum force.
Directions
This exercise is similar to what you
did before, except you’ll be applying
the brake more firmly, working up to
braking as hard as possible. The An-
tilock Braking System (ABS) will pre-
vent the wheels from locking and help
