3. Slow more before the turn. Look where you want to go. Apply more pressure on the inside handlebar to lean
more.
Exercise 5 - Normal Turns
Practicing this exercise will help you further refine your turning skills.
Directions
Start, facing marker 1 at a distance sufficient enough to increase speed to 15-20 mph. At point “A,” reduce speed,
using both brakes. As you start your turn at marker 1, look to the exit point and gently roll on the throttle throughout
the turn. Roll on past marker 3 and stop beyond marker 4. Practice turning in both directions.
Coaching Tips
1. Slow down before the turn using both brakes. (Before marker 1.)
2. Look through the turn to the exit.
3. Lean with the motorcycle.
4. Gradually increase speed throughout the turn. (Past marker 3.)
Common Problems
1. Swinging wide of the turn.
2. Cutting corner too close or turning too sharply.
3. Slowing and motorcycle tends to straighten up.
Basic Corrections
1. Slow down more before entering the turn, look to the exit point, press more on the inside handlebar.
2. Keep head and eyes up. Do not look down. Look to the exit point. Press less on inside handlebar.
3. Keep a smooth, steady throttle or slightly increase throttle to stabilize motorcycle.
Exercise 6A - Sharp Turns Without Stopping
Practicing this exercise will help you to make sharp turns such as pulling out of parking spaces or driveways, and
turning into a driveway or onto a narrow street.
Directions
Begin riding straight across the parking lot, increasing speed to approximately 10 mph. Just before reaching the
“Begin Turning” markers, slow down and use both brakes to adjust your speed. Then release the brakes, turn the
handlebars, lean the motorcycle slightly in the direction of the turn and turn your head, looking through the intended
path of travel. Use controlled clutch release and throttle as you make the sharp turn. Practice finishing your turn inside
line “A,” without touching it.
Coaching Tips
1. Use both brakes to reduce speed before the turn.
2. Keep head and eyes up; look through the turn.
3. Turn the handlebars and lean the motorcycle in the direction of the turn.
4. Use smooth clutch release and throttle as you exit.
Common Problems
1. Turning too short or too long.
2. Motorcycle
stalls.
3. Motorcycle begins to fall into the turn.
4. Traveling too fast to make turn.
Basic Corrections
1. Keep head and eyes up and look through the turn.
2. Use clutch and throttle smoothly to maintain necessary power to rear wheel.
