The three-quarter helmet doesn't offer the face and chin protection of full-face helmets. They may not seal out wind and dust that makes eyes water. DOT and Snell stickers. Head injuries.

Keep speeds reasonable for conditions, and use lights from other vehicles in front of you to help with searching ahead. Apply both brakes fully without locking either wheel.

To get the motorcycle straight up as soon as possible so the maximum amount of traction is available for braking. Immediately release the 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.

  5. How does carry-** ing a passenger affect the opera- tion of a motorcy- **cle?
  6. What are a few** tips for carrying passengers? Keep the upper torson upright while the motorcycle leans. Braking. Because oil and dirt combine with water. Water buildup under the tread. Ground clearance is reduced on left curves and the lean angle available will be less than on a flat road. The weight makes starting out more difficult, more time and space will be required for passing, and it may in- crease stopping distance. Stability in turns and curves may also be affected. Adjust suspension and tire pressure; ensure passenger is properly attired; keep both feen on the ground and the brakes applied while the passenger mounts; Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration, go easy on lean angles; have passenger follow these rules:
    1. Hold the operator's waist or hips, or passenger hand-holds.
    2. Keep feet on the passenger footrests at all times, including stop points.
    3. Keep hands and feet away from hot or moving parts.
    4. Look over the rider's shoulder in the direction of turns and curves.
    5. Avoid leaning or turning around; make no sudden moves that might affect stability.
    6. When cross an obstacle, rise slightly off the seat.
