You roll ON the throttle as you pass the APEX and begin to EXIT the turn.


As a new motorcycle driver, the best way to approch a corner should be doing these steps.

  • Brake to slow down in the straight before the corner starts (as a beginner, don't try anything fancy like trailbraking for now, scrub all your speed before the turn starts)

  • Enter the turn.

  • Lean the bike and counter-steer smoothly into the turn.

  • It's best to keep the throttle consistent while in the turn (don't speed

up or slow down so you keep your bike balanced and neutral)

  • If the turn is tightening closer toward you, lean and counter-steer into it more.

  • As you pass the apex of the turn (the peak of it), begin to gradually and smoothly stand the bike up

  • Begin to roll on the throttle (smoothly give it more acceleration).

  • Exit the turn.

  • You are now going straight again and are upright and are moving speedily.You roll ON the throttle as you pass the APEX and begin to EXIT the turn.
