Your motorcycle’s front tyre suddenly blows out while you are riding. What is the safest response?
A front-tyre blowout affects steering and balance. Concentrate on controlling the motorcycle, let it slow by gradually closing the throttle, and move your weight as far back as you can before signalling and pulling aside at reduced speed.

For either tyre blowing out, avoid braking, hold the grips firmly, look where you are going and aim to keep a straight course. Moving your weight back is specifically advised for a front-tyre blowout. Do not make a sudden turn towards the roadside.
