What should you do with the throttle as you go through a turn?
- A.Close it completely and coast through every turn
- B.Maintain speed or gently roll it on to keep the motorcycle stable
- C.Open it suddenly to maximum at the middle of the turn
- D.Alternate rapidly between open and closed
Correct answer
B. Maintain speed or gently roll it on to keep the motorcycle stable
Why
Gentle, steady throttle keeps weight distributed and the suspension settled, which improves traction in a turn. Abrupt throttle or braking changes in a lean can overwhelm tire grip.
