  3. 3. You borrow a motorcycle with linked brakes after learning on separate brake systems. What should you do before assuming how its controls act?

  1. A full tank bag restricts movement of the handlebars. The total load is below the motorcycle's weight rating. Is that enough to make the load acceptable?

    Correct answer: No; repack or reposition it so steering, controls and instruments remain unobstructed.

    A load can be within the weight limit and still interfere with safe operation. Tank bags must not obstruct the controls or instruments, catch cables, or restrict steering.

  2. A beginner can barely touch the ground on a motorcycle and struggles to reach its controls. What should guide the choice of a training motorcycle?

    Correct answer: Choose one that fits the rider and allows easy control operation.

    The manual emphasizes a motorcycle that fits: feet should reach the ground while seated and controls should be easy to operate. An unsuitable fit makes basic control harder.

  3. You borrow a motorcycle with linked brakes after learning on separate brake systems. What should you do before assuming how its controls act?

    Correct answer: Read its owner's manual and learn the system's operation before entering traffic.

    Linked and integrated systems can apply some braking to more than one wheel from a control. The owner's manual explains that motorcycle's system; linked braking and ABS are not interchangeable terms.
