When turning right at an intersection (other than a roundabout) on a large or ordinary motorcycle, you must move as close to the center of the road as possible in advance and pass just inside the center of the intersection at "joko" speed — a speed slow enough to stop immediately (about 10 km/h or less).
大型自動二輪車や普通自動二輪車で交差点（環状交差点を除く）を右折するときは、あらかじめできるだけ道路の中央に寄り、交差点の中心のすぐ内側を徐行しながら進行しなければならない。
This statement is TRUE
Explanation
This is exactly what the rules require for large and ordinary motorcycles, except at roundabouts. "Joko" (徐行) is a legal term: not merely "slowly", but a speed from which you can bring the machine to an immediate stop.
