21. If you get a flat tire while riding, you should:

Hold the handle grips firmly and stay off the brakes.

Shift your weight toward the good wheel and brake normally.

Brake on the good wheel while immediately pulling off the road.

If a tire goes flat while you are riding, hold onto the handgrips firmly and concentrate on maintaining a straight course. Brake only if you are sure which tire is flat. Exit the roadway once your motorcycle has slowed considerably.

24. When slowing or stopping a motorcycle, you should:

Not change gears.

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

You should shift down through the gears with the clutch as you slow or stop. Remain in first gear while stopped so you can move quickly, if needed.

Immediately release the front brake, then re-apply the brake firmly.
