Difficulty Level

  • Learn to use the engine

    These two phases of the System of Motorcycle Control are linked, the speed can be adjusted without the need to change gear by using ‘Acceleration Sense’, also referred to as ‘Throttle Sense’. Using the brakes will usually require a gear change to occur when losing speed. Many people ride in a higher gear than needed, they use their brakes constantly and upset the balance of the bike. If you find yourself braking often going into a bend or corner, do you need to brake or is it comfort braking and not really necessary?
