- Q11Motorcycle control
During a slow U-turn, which control combination best prevents stalling while maintaining balance?
- AClutch fully released and rear brake only for control
- BClutch fully engaged with throttle only to manage speed
- CFront and rear brake together with clutch at friction point
- DClutch held at friction point with a steady light throttle, and rear brake for speed control

- Q12Motorcycle control
How does carrying a pillion passenger primarily affect a motorcycle's handling?
- AIt lowers the centre of gravity, making cornering safer
- BIt has no significant effect if the passenger is seated correctly
- CIt reduces the tyre contact patch, reducing grip
- DIt increases total weight, which extends braking distances and affects suspension behaviour
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q13Motorcycle control
Before carrying a pillion passenger, which adjustment should a rider typically make to the motorcycle?
- AReduce tyre pressure slightly to improve ride comfort for the passenger
- BSet the front suspension to its softest setting
- CIncrease rear tyre pressure and adjust rear suspension preload if adjustable
- DReduce the engine idle speed to improve fuel efficiency
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q14Motorcycle control
When the rider of a two-up motorcycle accelerates hard, what should the pillion passenger do?
- ALean backward to balance the forward weight shift from acceleration
- BPut their feet down on the road to assist stability during acceleration
- CHold on to the rider or grab handles, and avoid leaning backward away from the rider
- DLean sharply forward to help front wheel traction
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q15Motorcycle control
When moving off uphill on a motorcycle, which technique prevents rolling backward?
- AUse the rear brake to hold the bike while easing out the clutch and adding throttle until drive is felt
- BRelease the brakes and apply throttle as quickly as possible
- CUse the front brake to hold the bike and release it as the clutch is eased out
- DKeep the clutch fully in and roll forward before engaging gear
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q16Motorcycle control
You need to move off on a steep uphill gradient. What risk should you be most aware of?
- AThe front wheel lifting due to excessive engine braking
- BThe rear tyre overheating from too much throttle
- CRunning wide into the opposite lane when pulling away
- DStalling and rolling backward into traffic behind you
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q17Motorcycle control
What is the tyre contact patch on a motorcycle?
- AThe small area of tyre actually touching the road at any one moment
- BThe full circumference of the tyre that rolls along the road
- CThe sidewall of the tyre that resists cornering forces
- DThe inner tube that maintains tyre pressure
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q18Motorcycle control
How does running a motorcycle tyre below the recommended pressure affect handling and safety?
- AThe contact patch shrinks and the bike handles more precisely
- BIt has no significant effect on the contact patch
- CThe tyre wall flexes excessively, handling becomes vague, and heat build-up can lead to a blowout
- DIt improves grip in all conditions by softening the tread compound
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q19Motorcycle control
You are mid-corner and realise you are going too fast. What is the safest first action?
- AApply the front brake firmly to scrub speed immediately
- BApply the rear brake firmly while maintaining the current lean angle
- CStraighten the bike upright and then brake hard
- DLook through the corner exit, relax, gently increase lean, and hold or very gently add throttle
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q20Motorcycle control
Which of the following statements about trail braking is correct?
- ATrail braking means completing all braking after the corner apex
- BTrail braking means dragging the rear brake through the whole corner
- CTrail braking is recommended for all novice riders as it is safer than braking before a corner
- DTrail braking means maintaining light front brake pressure while transitioning from upright to leaned, and requires advanced skill
