Why is it important to avoid using the front brake too hard while in a curve?

Using the front brake too hard while in a curve can lead to tipping or skidding because it disrupts the balance and traction of the motorcycle. When entering a turn, the motorcycle is already leaning to navigate the curve. Applying the front brake aggressively shifts the weight forward, which can reduce traction on the rear wheel and cause the motorcycle to lose stability. This can result in tipping over or sliding out, leading to a loss of control.

Maintaining a smooth and controlled application of brakes allows the rider to keep the motorcycle stable and balanced throughout the turn. Using both brakes evenly and applying them gradually can help manage speed while maintaining the cornering traction needed to navigate safely. Proper braking technique during curves is essential for safety and control.
