13. If the throttle is stuck, you should:

Jump off the motorcycle.

Apply the brakes.

Twist the throttle back and forth several times.

Not try to twist the throttle.

If your throttle becomes stuck, try twisting it back and forth several times. If this does not free your throttle, immediately operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch at the same time.

14. When stopping, it is best to:

Grab at the front brake lever.

Keep your knees against the gas tank and keep your eyes up.

Apply increasing pressure to the rear brake.

Only use the front brake.

For maximum straight-line braking, you should apply the brakes smoothly and firmly. As more weight transfers forward, more will be more traction available at the front wheel, allowing you to apply the front brake with progressively increasing force while reducing the pressure being used on the rear brake. Keep your knees against the gas tank and your eyes up to help keep yourself moving in a straight line.

15. The middle portion of the lane usually contains an oily strip. You should:

Try to avoid the oily strip when it is raining.

Ride only on the oily strip, as it provides increased traction.

Avoid the entire center portion of the lane.

Not worry about oil or other items in a lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks build up in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this strip usually still provides enough traction more a motorcycle to operate safely. The strip is generally narrow enough that you can ride to either side of it and still be in the center portion of the lane.

16. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.

17. A thorough check of your motorcycle:

Is useless unless done by a mechanic.

Should not be done before a ride.

Should be done only after a ride.

Can help you identify any mechanical defects or equipment failures.

It is recommended that you thoroughly check your motorcycle before every ride. Doing this can help you identify mechanical defects or equipment failures that could endanger you.

18. When you park a motorcycle next to a curb, it should be:

Parked at a 90-degree angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

Parked at a 45-degree angle with the front tire touching the curb.

Parked like a car, with the front and rear wheels the same distance from the curb.

Parked at the left edge of the parking space so approaching drivers can more easily see the motorcycle.

When parking a motorcycle next to a curb, you should create at a 90-degree angle with the curb by touching your rear wheel to the curb.
