What is NOT a recommended action when you experience a tire blowout?

When experiencing a tire blowout, accelerating to regain control is not a recommended action. During a blowout, the motorcycle can become unstable, and accelerating can exacerbate the situation, making it more difficult to maintain control. Instead, the proper approach involves managing the situation carefully.

Braking smoothly is advisable as it allows you to reduce speed without causing the motorcycle to tip or skid. Steering straight helps maintain balance and control, preventing further loss of stability. Shifting weight appropriately can also aid in maintaining balance while you manage the blown tire.

By avoiding acceleration during a blowout, you prevent the risk of losing control and increase your chances of safely bringing the motorcycle to a stop.
