  7. Define "hy-** pothermia" and Head injuries account for the majority of motorcycle fatal- ities. Stones that get thrown up from the roadway, burns from exhaust pipes, stronger grip on pavement, keep feet on footrests, and provide protection against foot and ankle. Best combination of fit and protection.

  7. Describe good** **riding posture.
  8. List the 4 steps in** turning. A typical gear patter, 1 - N- 2 - 3 - 4 - 5. Front brake is found in front of the right handgrip. Rear brake is found in front of the right footrest. It controls the flow of gasoline to the engine. Indicates engine speed. Neutral, high beam, turn signal indicators, oil pressure, side stand down.
    1. Turn on Fuel Valve
    2. Turn the ignition ON
    3. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
    4. Put Engine Cut-Off Switch to ON position
    5. Squeeze Clutch Where the clutch starts to transmit power to the rear wheel and ends just before the clutch becomes fully engaged. Keep back straight, and head and eyes up. Keep both feet on the footrests near the controls. Keep knees and elbows comfortable in. Arms relaxed and bent. Wrist positioned flat on throttle. Slow, Look, Press, Roll.

49. What is the **No-Zone?

  1. How should you** respond to a tail- **gating driver?
  2. What are some** factors to search for when ap- proaching a **curve?
  3. How can** an outside-in- side-outside path of travel help you **in curves?

  6. What makes** starting out on a hill (upgrade) more difficult? Riding in blind spot. Vehicles pulling away from parked position, and pedestrians stepping into your path. Areas around a truck to avoid because the driver cannot see you.
    • Flash your brake light
    • Gradually reduce speed to create more space in front
    • Maintain a lane position that discourages sharing the lane, or change lanes.
    • Turn at the next opportunity, into a street or parking lot, to allow the person tailgating to pass by. Search: What is its radius slope, what is the surface com- position and condition, what other traffic involved, is the entire curve visible, and what happens beyond the curve? It can help you look for the best path of travel To use the legs as shock absorbers. To check to see what may be in the blind spot area. motorcycle could roll backward while you move the clutch to the friction zone

56. What is "over- riding the head- light" and what is **the solution?

  1. Name and ex-** plain the 3 varia- tions to standard **braking systems.
  2. What is the best** way to achieve maximum brak- **ing?
  3. What compli-** cates braking in a **curve?
  4. What is a key to** stopping quickly **in a curve?
  5. What should you** do if the front tire skids be- cause of improp- er braking (front **brake grab)?
  6. What is the dan-** ger of rear-tire **skid?
  7. In a swerve, how** should you lean? When total stopping distance exceeds sight distance. Keep speed reasonable for conditions and use lights of other vehicles in front of you to help search ahead. Integrated Brakes: rear brake will cause some application of front brake. Linked Brakes: Application to either brake will cause pres- sure to other brake. Anti-Lock Brakes: Designed to prevent or minimize skid- ding in maximum-braking straight-line stop. To apply both brakes fully without locking either wheel. the amount of traction available is reduced To get the motorcycle straight up as soon as possible so that maximum amount of traction is available for braking. Immediately release front brake to allow the wheel to resume rolling, and then reapply the brake properly Releasing the rear brake when the rear wheel is out of alignment with the front wheel. You could be thrown off in a high-side fall. Keep upper torso upright while the motorcycle leans.
