Stop, Straight Directions
Practicing this exercise will help you stop smoothly, such as for stoplights and
stop signs.
Accelerate straight ahead across the parking lot between 15-20 mph (shift to second
gear.) Begin to slow down and downshift at the first marker. Try to come to a
smooth nonskidding stop with your front tire next to the last marker.
Coaching Tips
- Keep head and eyes up.
- Keep the motorcycle on a straight course.
- Begin downshifting and braking at the first marker.
- Squeeze the clutch, downshift to first gear and gradually apply both brakes at the same
time.
- Do not release the front and back brakes until you come to a complete stop.
- When stopped, the left foot should touch the ground first and you should be in first
gear.
