Loads should kept low, either fastened securely or in saddlebags.

Using only one brake will cause the brakes to wear unevenly.

Using both brakes is the only way to slow down a motorcycle.

The brakes only work when both are applied.

Using both brakes even in normal stopping stops will help you develop the habit of always using both. Having this habit will serve you well in emergencies, where using both brakes may be critical.

The left side of the lane.

The center of the lane.
