13. The front brake supplies how much of a motorcycle's stopping power?

About one-quarter

About one-half

About three-quarters

All the stopping power

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. It can provide three-fourths of the bike's total stopping power.

14. When you have mounted your motorcycle, you should do all of the following, except:

Make sure the mirrors are clean.

Make sure the horn works.

Close the fuel supply valve.

Make sure the clutch works smoothly.

After mounting your motorcycle, you should make sure the clutch, throttle, horn, and brakes all work properly. Clean and adjust the mirrors and make sure that the fuel supply valve is open.

15. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is discouraged because:

You may have a difficult time getting to a highway exit.

You may be in the other vehicle’s blind spot.

You may block the driver's view.

It prevents other drivers from passing both of you.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. The driver may enter your lane without warning if they can't see you. The vehicle will also block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

16. An integrated braking system:

Applies partial rear braking when the front brake is applied.

Applies partial front braking when the rear brake is applied.

Applies even braking for both the front and rear brakes when either is applied.

An integrated braking system is a variant of a linked braking system. Partial front braking is applied whenever the rear brake is activated. Check your owner's manual for a detailed explanation of the braking system on your motorcycle.

17. You should use a larger cushion of space:

When roads are slippery.

When it is sunny outside.

When it is colder than usual.

When you are following other motorcycles.

A two-second following distance is generally appropriate. Allow a larger cushion of space when riding under conditions that will increase your stopping distance, such as when the road surface is icy or wet.

18. Approved helmets:

Can limit the view of the motorcycle operator.

Allow the motorcycle operator to see as far to the sides as necessary.

Are dangerous to wear.

Do not have to be worn if the motorcycle operator thinks their view would be limited.

While some people worry that wearing a helmet may dangerously limit their field of vision, this is not the case. Any approved helmet will let the operator see as far to the sides as is needed for safe riding.
