What action is necessary to lean a motorcycle during a turn?

To lean a motorcycle during a turn, it's essential to understand how the bike's balance and dynamics work. Pressing on the handlegrip helps initiate and maintain the lean angle necessary to navigate a turn effectively. When turning, leaning the motorcycle helps counteract the centrifugal force that pushes the bike outward, allowing the tires to maintain grip on the road. Properly pressing on the handlegrip not only aids in steering but also allows the rider to adjust their body position slightly, enhancing stability during the turn.

This technique is particularly important for larger turns or when riding at higher speeds, where the lean angle plays a critical role in safely negotiating the curve. By focusing on the press of the handlegrip, the rider can control the motorcycle's trajectory and maintain balance throughout the turn.
