Do not do these 5 things while cornering


These 5 things should be avoided while riding a motorcycle into a curve.
1. Using too high speed.
2. Braking while cornering
3. Holding the clutch
4. One-handed driving
5. Not look at the road ahead

Cornering is a time that you need to focus, stay conscious, and always concentrate. You shouldn't be underestimated because when the motorcycle drives unbalanced, it may cause serious accidents.

Using too high speed
Before you do a cornering, you have to assess first that the speed is too high until it out of control or not? How is the curve wide or narrow, wet or dry road, also the degree of inclination of the curve. Then reduce the speed appropriately. Make sure that you can control the motorcycle.





Braking while cornering
Using the brakes during cornering is quite dangerous because the motorcycle can lose control and spinning off the road but if we want to reduce the speed or really want to brake, it is done by using the front and rear brakes as gently and smoothly as possible because if the brakes surge too much it can cause the wheel lock up and lose control until it slips.

Holding the clutch
As we all know, cornering requires speed to get around the curve but not too fast, so we shouldn't hold the clutch while turning corners because it will cause the motorcycle lack of Engine Brake. Also, to slow down the engine while cornering may fall off the curve. Or when it's time to release the clutch, it may cause the motorcycle to lose control and fall.

One-handed driving
As we all know, it is dangerous to ride a motorcycle with your hands free or with one hand. Especially while cornering requires a lot of control of the motorcycle. So, using both hands to hold the handlebars is a good thing to do. Should not play with mobile phones or hold things until lose control until an accident may occur. (Actually, at any time, both hands should be on the handlebars)





Not look at the road ahead
Another important thing to do when cornering is looking to the end of the curve. Especially the narrow curve where we don't see the whole road in order to check that there are any foreign objects or unexpected events ahead or not. To avoid any accidents that may occur.
