What should you be aware of when braking during a turn?
While it is feasible to apply brakes when negotiating a curve, it must be executed cautiously as a portion of your tire's grip is already committed to keeping the motorcycle upright during the turn. This means there is inherently less grip available for effective braking compared to riding on a straight path. Thus, handling both turning and braking requires judicious use of available traction to maintain control and prevent a skid or loss of balance.
