Make sure the mirrors are clean.

Make sure the horn works.

Close the fuel supply valve.

Make sure the clutch works smoothly.

After mounting your motorcycle, you should make sure the clutch, throttle, horn, and brakes all work properly. Clean and adjust the mirrors and make sure that the fuel supply valve is open.

20. Engine braking:

Is illegal.

Is slowing down by turning the engine off.

Is slowing down by downshifting.

Is not encouraged because of the damage it does to the engine.

Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to applying the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

21. The front brake can provide how much of a motorcycle's braking power?

10 percent

25 percent

50 percent

75 percent

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. It can provide at least three-quarters of the motorcycle's total stopping power.

22. Where is the clutch lever usually located?

On the left handgrip

On the right handgrip

Near the left footrest

Near the right footrest

The clutch lever of a motorcycle is usually located on the left handgrip.

23. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

24. How can a motorcycle operator discourage lane sharing by other drivers?

By giving dirty looks to other drivers

By riding in the center portion of the lane

By riding in the left portion of the lane

By riding in a zigzag pattern

By riding in the center portion of your lane, you will ensure that there is not a large space on either side of your motorcycle. Minimizing those spaces can help deter drivers from trying to share the lane with you.

25. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.
