1. A pre-ride inspection should:

Only take a few minutes.

Take more than an hour.

Be complicated to perform.

Not be done before every ride.

It is important to do a thorough inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. This will usually take you only a few minutes.

2. Where should a load be placed?

As low as possible

As high as possible

Behind the rear axle

On one side of the motorcycle

Loads should kept low, either fastened securely or in saddlebags. Piling loads against a sissy bar or frame on the back of a seat is dangerous because it can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and change the balance of the motorcycle. Loads should be equally distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.

3. Most crashes happen:

Far from home.

On short trips.

On long rides.

Several hours into the ride.

Most crashes happen on trips that are shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

4. More than half of all crashes:

Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.

Are caused by worn tires.

Happen in the dark.

Involve riders who have little experience on their motorcycles.

Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.

5. Before riding, check all of the following, except:

Your tires' inflation pressure.

The amount of tread on your tires.

The reflective quality of your tires.

The general condition of the sidewalls on your tires.

Before every ride, be sure to check your tires' inflation pressure, your tires' treadwear, and the general condition of the sidewalls and tread surface on the tires.

6. On which of the following surfaces does a motorcycle have the best traction?

Dry pavement

Gravel

Snow

Leaves

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
