What is the correct method to initiate a swerve on a motorcycle?

Initiating a swerve on a motorcycle correctly involves pressing the handgrip in the direction you wish to go. This action shifts the motorcycle’s weight and helps to lean the bike into the turn. Leaning into the swerve allows for better control and stability, ensuring that the motorcycle can navigate around obstacles or hazards effectively. When you press the handgrip, you're engaging with the motorcycle's natural dynamics, allowing for a smoother and safer maneuver.

Choosing to accelerate aggressively before swerving could lead to loss of control, while leaning away from the direction of the swerve would counteract the necessary lean into the turn, making the maneuver ineffective and potentially dangerous. Additionally, turning the handlebars sharply in the opposite direction does not contribute to a successful swerve; instead, it may complicate the bike's balance and handling during the maneuver.
