- 1/27The correct riding posture on a motorcycle
This posture helps maintain proper balance, control, and visibility. It reduces fatigue and allows quick response to traffic and road changes.
When using the clutch lever, the motion should be
Smooth clutch use prevents stalling, jerking, and ensures better control while shifting or moving off.
To accelerate smoothly on a motorcycle
Sudden throttle movements can cause the bike to lurch or lose traction, especially on slippery roads.
Before changing gears, you should always
This technique ensures the engine and transmission match speed, avoiding jerky shifts and potential damage.
When shifting up, the correct gear sequence is
Following the proper sequence ensures smooth acceleration and reduces engine strain.
When slowing down, you should downshift
Downshifting progressively helps maintain engine control and avoids stalling or skidding.
When stopping completely, which brake should be used first
Using both brakes evenly allows balanced braking and shorter stopping distances, reducing the risk of losing control.
The rear brake is useful when
At low speeds, the rear brake helps control movement without destabilizing the motorcycle.
Braking in a curve should be done
Braking in a lean can lead to wheel lockup or skidding slow down before turning.
Proper use of both brakes during a normal stop
Balanced braking provides efficient stopping power and keeps the motorcycle stable.
The purpose of lane positioning while riding
Choosing the right part of the lane helps you see and be seen, avoid hazards, and plan escape routes.
Best lane position when riding behind a vehicle
Staying out of the blind spot improves visibility and reaction time if the vehicle ahead brakes or swerves.
When preparing to turn at an intersection
Early signals and proper positioning alert others and reduce the chance of conflict or confusion.
When turning right on a motorcycle
Controlled speed and body lean help you stay balanced and complete the turn safely.
When turning left across traffic
This turn must be done cautiously and legally to avoid collisions with approaching traffic.
To make a U-turn safely
U-turns should be slow and controlled, using a wide arc to maintain balance and avoid tipping.
When riding through curves, your eyes should
Your motorcycle follows your eyes and looking ahead improves steering and balance.
To avoid skidding when stopping quickly
Controlled braking helps stop faster without sliding or losing balance.
When approaching a stop sign
You must always stop completely at the line, regardless of traffic presence.
When riding on gravel or sand
Uneven surfaces reduce traction and maintain straight posture and avoid sudden moves.
While riding in traffic, always maintain
A 2-3 second gap gives enough time to react to sudden stops or hazards.
A key skill in basic motorcycle control
Coordinated movements prevent stalls, jerks, or sudden surges, especially in traffic or tight spaces.
When making a tight turn at low speed
Light rear brake helps balance, and looking ahead helps you steer accurately.
If you must brake suddenly
Avoid leaning or over-braking, as sudden movements can cause skidding or loss of control.
While riding use mirror to
Frequent checks help monitor blind spots and avoid collisions during lane changes.
While waiting at a red light
Keeping the bike in gear allows a quick move if a hazard appears from behind.
When passing a parked car
Maintain enough space to avoid hitting an opening door or unexpected pedestrian movement.
