How do you stop in a curve?

When stopping in a curve, the most effective method is to gradually apply both brakes as you straighten up the motorcycle. This approach allows for better stability and control as you navigate the turn. When you apply the brakes while leaning, it can disrupt the balance of the motorcycle and may lead to loss of traction or control, especially if excessive braking force is used.

By straightening the motorcycle before applying the brakes, you reduce the risk of tipping over or skidding since the motorcycle is more upright and stable. Gradually applying both brakes helps to manage the deceleration smoothly, allowing for a steady stop without abrupt changes that could affect your balance.

Other options may present risks or may not be effective in maintaining control while stopping in a curve. For instance, using only the rear brake might not provide enough stopping power, and stopping abruptly is generally unsafe as it can lead to losing traction and control.
