If you feel the motorcycle is not entering the turn enough, what action does the guidance emphasize?

• A. Lean or shift your weight in the direction of the turn.
• B. Increase braking before cornering.
• C. Steer aggressively toward the center of the curve.
• D. Sit up and avoid leaning.

Answer: (A)

When a motorcycle isn’t entering a turn enough, the technique that helps most is moving your body weight into the inside of the turn. By leaning your torso and hips toward the curve, you allow the bike to lean more naturally into the corner. That extra lean angle helps the front tire bite and start the turn sooner, giving you a steadier, smoother line through the turn. Keeping the eyes looking through the turn, maintaining a smooth throttle, and avoiding abrupt inputs supports this body position. Braking before the turn, steering aggressively toward the center, or sitting up and staying upright reduces the bike’s lean and makes it harder to begin the turn, which is why those approaches aren’t recommended for entering more fully.
