Keeping your Motorcycle on Road
- 1/26When riding on curves
Entering too fast reduces control and slow beforehand and maintain speed through the turn.
Best way to steer through a curve
Keep your eyes on the exit and lean in the direction of the turn for balance.
To maintain control in a curve
Braking during a curve can cause skidding and slow before the turn.
Positioning your motorcycle on the road
Adjust your lane position to maximize sightlines and avoid blind spots.
To avoid obstacles on the road
Anticipating road hazards helps avoid last-second maneuvers.
If there is debris or oil on the road
Keep the bike upright to maintain traction and avoid sliding.
When riding over slippery surfaces
Maintain a steady speed, and avoid sharp turns or hard braking.
How to cross a patch of sand or gravel
Avoid leaning and ride slowly and smoothly to maintain balance.
When passing another vehicle
Never pass in curves or at intersections and ensure it clear and legal.
To be seen better by other drivers
Headlights during the day and bright clothing increase visibility.
When riding at night
Nighttime visibility is lower and ride cautiously and avoid glare.
Lane position while approaching intersections
Positioning helps you see cross traffic and be seen.
To respond to a tailgating driver
Dont speed up and create space and avoid confrontation.
In strong crosswinds
Be ready to counter gusts, especially near large vehicles or open areas.
When encountering a pothole
This reduces the impact on the bike and rider.
If you must swerve
Swerving while braking can cause loss of control and separate braking from steering.
To cross a raised object or bump
Reduces shock to the rider and bike and slow beforehand.
Importance of smooth throttle control
Jerky acceleration or deceleration can unbalance the motorcycle.
Proper reaction to sudden obstacles
If needed, swerve only after reducing speed and regaining balance.
When riding over metal surfaces e.g., manhole covers
These surfaces are slippery and maintain balance and keep throttle steady.
Handling speed bumps
Keeps the ride smooth and protects suspension from damage.
Lane position for group riding
Maintain spacing and adjust formation based on road width and traffic.
Avoiding riding in blind spots
Constantly adjust your lane position to stay visible.
When cornering downhill
Engine braking and light braking control speed safely on descents.
To ride safely in hot weather
Heat can cause fatigue and take breaks and protect skin.
Main cause of single-vehicle motorcycle crashes
Always reduce speed before curves and avoid sudden actions while leaning.
