Under normal conditions, what is the minimum following distance the manual recommends behind another vehicle?
- A Two seconds
- B Half a second
- C One second
- D One motorcycle length for every 10 mph
Show answer
A. Two seconds
Normally keep at least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead. Pick a marker such as a lamppost, and when the vehicle ahead passes it, count one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two; if you reach the marker first, you are too close.
When should your passenger get on the motorcycle?
- A After you have started the engine and shifted into neutral
- B Before you start the engine, so you both settle in first
- C While you hold the motorcycle in first gear with the clutch in
- D Only after the motorcycle starts rolling slowly
Show answer
A. After you have started the engine and shifted into neutral
Tell your passenger to get on only after you have started the engine and put the transmission in neutral. While they mount, keep both feet on the ground and the front brake applied so the motorcycle stays steady.
How will a motorcycle usually feel if its front tire goes flat while you are riding?
- A The engine will lose power
- B The steering will feel heavy
- C You will always hear a loud bang
- D The back end will jerk or sway from side to side
Show answer
B. The steering will feel heavy
If the front tire goes flat, the steering feels heavy; if the rear goes flat, the back may jerk or sway. A front flat is especially dangerous because it affects steering. Hold the grips firmly, ease off the throttle and keep a straight course.
