7. The control for the rear brake is usually located:

On the left handlebar.

Near the left foot.

Near the right foot.

8. If your front wheel skids as a result of braking, you should:

Keep the front brake engaged.

Release the front brake immediately and re-apply the brake smoothly.

Release the front brake and only use the rear brake.

Release both brakes and coast to a stop.

9. To control a motorcycle properly, you should:

Sit so you can use your arms to steer, not to hold yourself up.

Sit far enough back on the seat that you can keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Drag your feet on the ground.

When riding, sit so you are able use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.

10. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes gradually.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Trying to accelerate out of a wobble is dangerous and will only make your motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly (without trying to fight the wobble), gradually close the throttle to slow down, and move your weight as far forward and downward as possible. Pull off the road as soon as you can.

11. When selecting a helmet, make sure it is all of the following, except:

Designed to meet U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

Snug.

Defect-free.

Attractive.

You should select a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation and state standards; fits snugly all the way around; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

12. When securing a load, you should place the load:

As high as possible.

As low as possible.

On a sissy bar.

Only on one side of the motorcycle.

Secured loads should be low. Putting them too high up, such as on a sissy bar, can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and upset its balance. Loads should be as evenly distributed as possible on each side of the motorcycle to avoid pulling the bike to one side.
