The following motorcycle turning tips are meant to help new riders learn the basics of operating a motorcycle safely.

Motorcycle Turning Tips:

1. Slow down before entering a turn and look through the turn not down at the ground.
2. Keep you feet up on the pegs with your knees against the gas tank.
3. Lean your body with your motorcycle.
4. Keep an even smooth throttle through the turn.

The above tips are meant for a normal standard turn. If you are performing a slow turn or a U-turn you must learn how to use your rear brake and lean your body in the opposite direction of the turn to counterbalance your motorcycle.

Performing slow speed turns and U-turns are one of the tricker things to learn for new riders.

The following videos related to leaning into a turn and performing U-turns are from a motorcycle instructor named Captain Crash:
