In order to master slow motorcycle riding and truly have control of your motorcycle, you must have not only a basic understanding of what the “friction zone” is, but how and when to implement it. You only need to concentrate on 3 things; throttle control, clutch and rear brake. Using all 3 of these things simultaneously will result in successful slow riding and a higher confidence in your ability to keep your motorcycle on its wheels and not laying on the engine guards.

Your head and eyes are important as well. You must turn your head and eyes and look where you want to go.

You may be asking yourself, who are PRELOADERS?
PRELOADERS:
Subscribers to this channel who are dedicated to being proficient in slow speed motorcycle operation.

What does PRELOAD mean?
PRELOAD:
Engaging the throttle to raise the RPM’s (revolutions per minute) above idle and holding the throttle there, with the clutch pulled in (no power to the rear wheel, “in reserve” “PRELOADED”). This process will make power to the rear wheel available to the rider immediately when the clutch is opened up. There’s no need for the rider to be concerned with twisting the throttle for power because it’s already PRELOADED.
