1. The primary source of information about your motorcycle should come from:

The motorcycle's former owner.

A library book about motorcycles.

A motorcycle enthusiast.

The owner's manual should be your primary source of information about your specific type of motorcycle. Be sure to read the manual before operating your motorcycle for the first time.

2. Before mounting your motorcycle, perform all of the following checks, except:

Making sure the headlight works.

Checking the oil level.

Trying both brake controls to ensure the brake light activates.

Ensuring that the paint is not scratched.

Before riding, you should check the pressure and condition of your tires; check the oil and fluid levels; and make sure that the low beam headlight, high beam headlight, taillight, signal lights, and brake light all work properly.

3. A helmet should not:

Meet U.S. DOT standards.

Fit snugly.

Be without obvious defects.

Have been previously worn in an accident.

You will get the greatest amount of protection from a helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects. A helmet worn at the time of a crash should be replaced.

4. When slowing or stopping, you should use both brakes:

Only if the pavement is wet.

Infrequently.

Only when riding in the city.

Every time.

You can achieve maximum stopping power by using both the front and rear brakes. You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

5. When changing lanes, you should:

Signal, use your mirrors, and turn your head.

Signal and use your mirrors.

Turn your head and change lanes.

Signal and change lanes.

Always use the proper turn signal before a turn or lane change. Use your mirrors and perform head checks before changing lanes to check for traffic surrounding your vehicle.

6. When passing a row of parked cars to your right when there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should:

Stay toward the right side of your lane.

Stay toward the left side of your lane.

Look to your left frequently.

Use your rearview mirrors more frequently than usual.

When passing a row of parked cars, it is generally best to stay on the side of your lane that is not directly next to the cars. This will help to protect you from potential hazards like car doors being opened or people stepping out from between the cars. If there is traffic coming from the opposite direction, it is a good idea to stay in the center portion of the lane.
