The U-turn really is the first barrier. This was what I dropped my bike over most at riding school too. But the article's right, not trying to force it through in one go is actually the biggest trick. If it feels risky, just put your foot down and pivot. Just keeping your eyes far ahead stabilizes things surprisingly well, so I'd really recommend trying it.

U-turns get scarier the bigger the bike, so I'd like to know how the tips differ by bike size too.

Even on a bigger bike the basics are the same — leaning the bike matters more than how much you turn the bars.

It's stuff you're supposed to learn at riding school, but you tend to forget it when you panic out on the road, so it's genuinely worth revisiting.

That explanation of where to point your eyes — 'look where you want to go' — actually works dramatically well, so I really want beginners to read this.

For working the clutch friction zone, roughly what RPM should I actually be aiming for? It always makes me nervous.

It's more practical to physically learn the feel of holding a consistent clutch point than to chase RPM numbers — don't get too hung up on the numbers.

'Don't force it' sounds obvious but it's the biggest tip there is — a lot of U-turn drops come from panicking.
