- A brake that works only in the rain
- A system that locks both wheels when parked
Voir la réponse

On a motorcycle with linked brakes, the front lever or the rear pedal can apply both brakes. Check your owner’s manual to learn how yours works.

- Using a tinted face shield
- Wearing dark clothing
- Using high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, slowing down and leaving more space
Voir la réponse
Réponse: D. Using high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, slowing down and leaving more space
At night you see less and others see you less. Use your lights well, slow down, keep more space and wear reflective gear.
Question 4 sur 25
How should a passenger move in turns?
- Sit stiffly upright while the motorcycle leans
- Lean with the rider and the motorcycle
- Lean the opposite way to balance
- Put a foot down to help

A passenger who leans with the rider makes the motorcycle easier to control.
Question 5 sur 25
If you ride regularly, how often should you check your tire pressure?
- Once a season
- Once a year
- Only before long trips
- At least once a week
Voir la réponse
Réponse: D. At least once a week
Motorcycle tires can lose air without looking low. Check the pressure when the tires are cold and at least weekly if you ride often.

- Pull both grips toward you
- Shift your weight back
- Press the left handgrip forward
- Press the right handgrip forward
Voir la réponse

A swerve is two quick countersteers. Press the grip on the side you want to go, then press the other to straighten.
Question 7 sur 25
Before you slow down or stop, what should you do?
- Turn off your headlight
- Sound your horn
- Shift into neutral
- Check your mirrors for traffic behind you
Voir la réponse

A driver behind may not expect you to slow down. Checking your mirrors tells you if you need to warn them or leave more room.
Question 8 sur 25
At what point should you set your mirrors?
- Mirrors on motorcycles are not adjustable
- While riding on the highway
- Only after you start to turn
- Before you ride, while sitting on the motorcycle

Adjust your mirrors while seated in your riding position, before you move. Adjusting them while riding takes your attention away from the road.

- Only when a tire looks flat
- When the tires are cold, before you ride
- Right after a long ride
Voir la réponse

Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. Warm tires give a higher reading than the true cold pressure.

What kind of face shield should you use when riding at night?
- A dark tinted shield
- A clear, clean shield with no deep scratches
- A mirrored shield
- No shield, so you can see better

Which brake gives the most stopping power on most motorcycles?
- The front brake
- The rear brake
- The engine cut-off switch
- Both give the same stopping power
Voir la réponse

When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire. This gives the front brake most of the stopping power.

- It slows your reactions and harms your judgement
- It improves your focus
- It only affects you at night

Cannabis impairs reaction time, coordination and judgement. Riding while impaired by a drug is a crime.
Question 21 sur 25
What does "covering the brakes" mean?
- Using only engine braking
- Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
- Putting a cover on the brakes when parked
- Braking hard all the time
Voir la réponse
Réponse: B. Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
Covering the brakes cuts your reaction time, because you are ready to brake at once.
Question 22 sur 25
What is the "friction zone"?
- The part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
- The middle of the lane where oil collects
- The space between two motorcycles in a group
- The area where tires touch the road
Voir la réponse
Réponse: A. The part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
As you ease out the clutch, there is a zone where the clutch begins to engage. Using it smoothly lets you start and ride slowly with control.

- Ride only on the highway
- Do not ride until you know it will not affect you
- Ride slowly with the hazard lights on

Some medicines cause drowsiness or slow reactions. Read the label and ask a pharmacist before you ride.

Your throttle sticks open. What can you use to cut engine power quickly?
- The turn signal switch
- The engine cut-off switch
- The horn button
- The choke
Voir la réponse

- Only on dry, sunny days
- Never; two seconds is always enough
- Only when you carry a passenger in town
