Your arms should be used to steer the motorcycle.

17. Before starting a turn, a motorcyclist should change gears to:

Prevent a change in power in the middle of the turn.

Be able to keep both hands on the handle grips during the turn.

Prevent the motorcycle from slowing down.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. Shifting gears while in the turn can cause a sudden change in power to the rear wheel, causing a skid. If you must change gears while in a turn, change gears smoothly to best prevent skidding.

You can usually maintain control of the motorcycle.

You will likely lose control of the motorcycle.

You will need to release the rear brake to regain control of the motorcycle.
