If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:
Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.
- Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.
- Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.
- Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.
- Only use the rear brake.
