What should you do with your knees while turning on a motorcycle?

When turning on a motorcycle, it is important to lean with the motorcycle. This technique helps to maintain balance and stability as the motorcycle moves through the turn. Leaning together with the bike allows the rider to counteract the centrifugal force created during the turn, which can prevent the bicycle from tipping over. By aligning your body movement with the motorcycle’s orientation, you enhance your control and make sharp or gradual turns more manageable.

Leaning with the motorcycle also aids in keeping a lower center of gravity, which is crucial for maintaining traction and preventing skidding. The motorcycle’s design is such that leaning into the turn helps to optimize the tire grip on the road, thus improving both safety and handling.

Other options may not promote the same level of control or could lead to instability. For instance, keeping knees away from the tank or extending them outward can disrupt body balance, while crossing them over the gas tank could interfere with the necessary movements in turns, leading to a less effective riding technique.
