1. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

2. To carry a passenger, you may need to adjust all of the following, except:

Tire pressure.

Mirror positions.

Headlight position.

Brake light position.

A motorcycle carrying a passenger will sit differently than usual due to the additional weight. You may need to adjust the tire pressure, suspension, shocks, headlight, and mirrors to compensate for the shift.

3. A three-wheeled motorcycle:

Handles curves about the same as a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Handles curves differently than a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Should not be operated in curves.

Should use the shoulder when taking a curve.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

4. When following another vehicle as a beginning rider, you should:

Maintain a minimum four-second following distance.

Get as close to the other vehicle as possible.

Never be concerned about your following distance.

Always ride in the left portion of the lane so the driver can easily see you.

A following distance of at least four seconds is recommended for beginning riders. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

5. A motorcyclist should:

Pick a favorite portion of the lane and stay in that portion all the time.

Continually weave among the lane positions to keep other drivers out of their lane.

Choose a lane position based on road and traffic conditions.

Not worry about lane position.

There is no one lane position that is always best and no one lane position that should always be avoided. Adjust your lane position in response to changes in road and traffic conditions.

6. On a slippery surface, you should not:

Reduce your speed.

Avoid making sudden moves.

Use only the front brake when slowing or stopping.

Use both brakes when slowing or stopping.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should use both brakes when slowing or stopping, reduce your speed, and avoid making sudden moves. Be alert to oily areas, dirt, gravel, shaded areas, and bridges, as these surfaces are more likely to be slippery than others.
