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.

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.
