If you must ride a manual motorcycle over a section with low grip from mud or snow, how should you act?

Correct answer

Reduce speed and operate controls smoothly, using an appropriate gear.

Use reduced speed and smooth control inputs, avoiding abrupt acceleration or braking. Select a gear appropriate for speed and the engine without jerking, stalling or stressing the clutch. Second gear is not universally suitable and you should not invariably select the highest available gear. Snow and especially ice can make riding very dangerous; do not continue if you cannot maintain control and follow restrictions and guidance.
