What is the correct way to approach a tight corner?

The correct way to approach a tight corner is to slow down before entering the corner. By decelerating beforehand, you give yourself more control and stability as you navigate the turn. This technique allows for a smoother entry, helps maintain balance, and prevents the possibility of losing traction or control while leaning into the corner.

Slowing down before the corner enables the rider to assess the turn's geometry, any obstacles, and the road surface. Once the motorcycle is at a safe speed, the rider can smoothly lean into the corner while gradually accelerating out of it. This method is essential for safely handling tight corners on a motorcycle, enhancing both the rider's safety and overall confidence.

Other methods like braking through the corner can lead to instability; improper acceleration during the turn can cause the motorcycle to lose grip; and leaning away from the corner contradicts the necessary body positioning that keeps the bike balanced during the lean. All of these approaches can increase the risk of accidents or falls in challenging riding conditions.
