Knowing how to ride a motorcycle isn’t enough, as getting on that vehicle could put you and others in danger.

One of the things you need to learn is proper braking techniques.

Here are some useful tips.

The front brake is more effective

Effective braking power comes from the front brake.This is because the weight of the bike and the rider shifts to the front when brakes are applied.

Explore your bike’s braking performance

Practice in different weather and road conditions to learn how you and your bike can work together.

Know your bike’s grip

Can your motorcycle handle slippery roads? How much can you lean over? Knowing these is vital to proper braking.

Practice emergency braking

Whether you’re on a curve or not, you should be able to stop safely in case of an emergency.
