Correct answer
Lean into bends on the same side as the rider.
The passenger should gently follow the rider’s lean to the same side in bends, without exaggerating it or making sudden movements. Sit correctly and keep both feet on the footrests. Leaning the opposite way or remaining rigid makes balancing the motorcycle harder.
