In this guide, we will break down the process into manageable steps.
Step 1: Slow Down Before entering a corner, it is essential to slow down to a safe speed.

Step 2: Look where you want to go, and scan through the turn, drawing an imaginary line. Avoid staring down, and keep your vision wide.

Step 3: Lean To make a turn, you must lean your bike. For high-speed maneuvering, counter steering is the quickest way to make your bike lean. However, be cautious, as excessive counter steering can cause your bike to drop.

Step 4: Stabilize, once your bike is leaned, maintain power to ensure stability. If your bike is too slow, it may drop. If it is too fast, it may lose traction.

Step 5: Power, the ideal time to give more power is when your bike starts squaring up. As your bike gains traction, you can roll on the throttle.

By following these steps and practicing regularly, you'll become more confident and proficient in your cornering skills.
