- While riding on the highway
- Only after you start to turn

More space ahead gives you and the tailgater time to stop. If you can, let them go by.

- With a pedal under your right foot
- With a lever on the left handlebar
- With a pedal under your left foot

- Close it fully in the middle of the curve
- Pull in the clutch and coast
- Keep it steady or roll it on gently
- Open it fully as you enter

A steady or slightly increasing throttle keeps the motorcycle stable through the curve. Closing it suddenly can upset your balance.
