What is the recommended action if the rear wheel locks during a stop on a well-gripped surface?
In the event that your motorcycle’s rear wheel locks while braking on a surface with good traction, it's generally safe to maintain the lock until the motorcycle comes to a complete stop. Maintaining a straight line and keeping the motorcycle upright allows for control over the vehicle despite the locked wheel, as long as the road surface provides ample traction. This approach minimizes the risk of skidding or veering off course, helping the rider to stop safely.
