Mastering full locked turns on a motorcycle is often considered an advanced skill. However, I believe the challenge comes from a lack of proper technique, not a lack of ability.
Many motorcycle “skills” are taught out of order, leading riders to think slow control is harder than it really is. As a result, many riders avoid slow-speed maneuvers altogether.
With the technique I teach in this video, you’ll find more success in all other slow-speed maneuvers, especially U-turns!
In this video, I reveal the exact technique to help you execute full locked turns on any motorcycle. By mastering this skill, you’ll increase your abilities and gain confidence at slow speeds.
To Lean or Not to Lean?
Learning this technique WITHOUT leaning will help you refine your balance, clutch, throttle, and rear brake control, ultimately boosting your confidence. Once you can consistently achieve full locked turns without leaning, adding lean (which increases your turning radius) will be much easier with less risk of falling.
Executing a full locked turn may seem impossible, but after watching this video, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to do it yourself. Whether you want to impress your riding group or master a practical skill for tight spots, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step.
