4 THE RIDER AND THE MOTORCYCLEMotorcycling is a unique experience.Compared to a car, you don’t sit in amotorcycle, youbecome part of it.Not as a passivedriver, but as anactive rider arcinginto a string ofsmooth corners,playing along withthe rhythm of theroad; shifting,accelerating, andbraking withprecision. Whetheryou ride to andfrom work orprefer thecamaraderie of agroup ride on theweekend,motorcyclingengages all your senses and creates aninvigorating sense of freedom.Along with that freedom comesresponsibility. All states require someform of license endorsementdemonstrating you possess a minimumlevel of skill and knowledge. Thisbooklet and other motorcyclepublications can help prepare you to besuccessful. You might also considertaking a formal hands-on trainingcourse, even if your state doesn’trequire that you complete one. You’lllearn how to improve your riding skillsand mental strategies, so you can be asafer, more alert rider.The diagram above illustrates thecomplex environment that awaitsyou, and supports the concept that, asthe Motorcycle Safety Foundation says,“Safe riding depends as much on themental skills of awareness andjudgment as it does on a physical skillof maneuvering the machine.”Successfully piloting a motorcycle is amuch more involved task than driving acar. Motorcycling requires a fine senseof balance and a heightened sense ofawareness and position amidst otherroadway users. A motorcycle respondsmore quickly to rider inputs than a car,but is also more sensitive to outsideforces, like irregular road surfaces orcrosswinds. A motorcycle is also lessvisible than a car due to its narrowerprofile, and offers far less protection byexposing its rider to other traffic andthe elements. All these risks can bemanaged through study, training, andpractice.

PREPARING TO RIDE5What you do before you start a trip goes a long way toward determiningwhether or not you’ll get where you want to go safely. Before taking off onany trip, a safe rider makes a point to:1.Wear the right gear.2.Become familiar with the motorcycle.3.Check the motorcycle equipment.4.Be a responsible rider.WEAR THE RIGHT GEARWhen you ride, your gear is “right” ifit protects you. In any crash, you have afar better chance of avoiding seriousinjury if you wear: A DOT-compliant helmet. Face or eye protection. Protective clothing.Helmet UseCrashes can occur — particularlyamong untrained, beginning riders. Andone out of every five motorcycle crashesresults in head or neck injuries. Headinjuries are just as severe as neckinjuries — and far more common. Crashanalyses show that head and neckinjuries account for a majority of seriousand fatal injuries to motorcyclists.Research also shows that, with fewexceptions, head and neck injuries arereduced by properly wearing a qualityhelmet.Some riders don’t wear helmetsbecause they think helmets will limittheir view to the sides. Others wearhelmets only on long trips or whenriding at high speeds. But, here aresome facts to consider: A DOT-compliant helmet letsyou see as far to the sides asnecessary. A study of more than900 motorcycle crashes, where40% of the riders wore helmets,did not find even one case in whicha helmet kept a rider from spottingdanger. Most crashes happen on shorttrips (less than five miles long), justa few minutes after starting out. Most riders are riding slower than30 mph when a crash occurs. Atthese speeds, helmets can cut boththe number and the severity ofhead injuries by half.No matter what the speed, helmetedriders are three times more likely tosurvive head injuries than those notwearing helmets at the time of thecrash. The single most important thingyou can do to improve your chances ofsurviving a crash is to wear a securelyfastened, quality helmet.Helmet SelectionThere are two primary types ofhelmets, providing two different levelsof coverage: three-quarter and full face.Whichever style you choose, you canget the most protection by making surethat the helmet: Is designed to meet U.S.Department of Transportation(DOT) and state standards.Helmets with a label from the SnellMemorial Foundation also give youan assurance of quality. Fits snugly, all the way around. Has no obvious defects such ascracks, loose padding or frayedstraps.

6PREPARING TO RIDEWhatever helmet youdecide on, keep it securelyfastened on your headwhen you ride. Otherwise,if you are involved in acrash, it’s likely to fly offyour head before it gets achance to protect you.Eye and FaceProtectionA plastic impactresistant faceshield canhelp protect your wholeface in a crash. It alsoprotects you from wind, dust, dirt,rain, insects and pebbles thrown upfrom cars ahead. These problems aredistracting and can be painful. If youhave to deal with them, you can’tdevote your full attention to the road.Goggles protect your eyes, thoughthey won’t protect the rest of your facelike a faceshield does. A windshield isnot a substitute for a faceshield orgoggles. Most windshields will notprotect your eyes from the wind. Neitherwill eyeglasses or sunglasses. Glasseswon’t keep your eyes from watering,and they might blow off when you turnyour head while riding.To be effective, eye or faceshieldprotection must:. Be free of scratches. Be resistant to penetration. Give a clear view to either side. Fasten securely, so it doesnot blow off. Permit air to pass through, toreduce fogging. Permit enough room for eyeglassesor sunglasses, if needed.Tinted eye protection should notbe worn when little light is available.ClothingThe right clothing protects you ina collision. It also provides comfort,as well as protection from heat, cold,debris and hot and moving parts ofthe motorcycle. It can also make youmore visible to others. Jacket and pants should coverarms and legs completely. Theyshould fit snugly enough to keepfrom flapping in the wind, yetloosely enough to move freely.Leather offers the most protection.Sturdy synthetic material provides alot of protection as well. Wear ajacket even in warm weather toprevent dehydration. Many aredesigned to protect without gettingyou overheated, even on summerdays. Some riders choose jacketsand pants with rigid “body armor”inserts in critical areas for additionalprotection. Boots or shoes should be high andsturdy enough to cover your anklesand give them support. Soles shouldbe made of hard, durable, slipresistant material. Keep heels shortso they do not catch on roughsurfaces. Tuck in laces so they won’tcatch on your motorcycle.

7. Gloves allow a better grip and helpprotect your hands in a crash. Yourgloves should be made of leather orsimilar durable material. Hearing protection reduces noisewhile allowing you to hearimportant sounds such as carhorns or sirens. Long termexposure to engine and wind noisecan cause permanent hearingdamage even if you wear a fullface helmet. Whether you choosedisposable foam plugs or reusablecustom molded devices, be sureyou adhere to state laws regardinghearing protection.In cold or wet weather, your clothesshould keep you warm and dry, as wellas protect you from injury. You cannotcontrol a motorcycle well if you arenumb. Riding for long periods in coldweather can cause severe chill andfatigue. A winter jacket should resistwind and fit snugly at the neck, wristsand waist. Good-quality rainsuitsdesigned for motorcycle riding resisttearing apart or ballooning up at highspeeds.KNOW YOURMOTORCYCLEThere are plenty of things on thehighway that can cause you trouble.Your motorcycle should not be oneof them. To make sure that yourmotorcycle won’t let you down:. Start with the right motorcyclefor you. Read the owner’s manual. Be familiar with the motorcyclecontrols. Check the motorcycle beforeevery ride. Keep it in safe riding conditionbetween rides. Avoid add-ons and modificationsthat make your motorcycle harderto handle.The Right Motorcycle For YouFirst, make sure your motorcycle isright for you. It should “fit” you. Yourfeet should reach the ground while youare seated on the motorcycle, and thecontrols should be easy to operate.Smaller motorcycles are usually easierfor beginners to operate.At a minimum, your street-legalmotorcycle should have:. Headlight, taillight andbrakelight TEST YOURSELF1A plastic shatter-resistantface shield:A. Is not necessary if you havea windshield.B. Only protects your eyes.C. Helps protect your whole face.D. Does not protect your face aswell as goggles.Answer - page 48

8 Front and rear brakes. Turn signals. Horn. Two mirrors.Borrowing and LendingBorrowers and lenders of motorcycles,beware. Crashes are more likely to occuramong beginning riders — especially inthe first months of riding. Riding anunfamiliar motorcycle adds to theproblem. If you borrow a motorcycle, getfamiliar with it in a controlled area. Andif you lend your motorcycle to friends,make sure they are licensed and knowhow to ride before allowing them outinto traffic.No matter how experienced youmay be, ride extra carefully on anymotorcycle that’s new or unfamiliarto you. More than half of all crashesPREPARING TO RIDEinvolve riders with less than five monthsof experience on their motorcycle.Get Familiar with theMotorcycle ControlsMake sure you are completely familiarwith the motorcycle before you take it outon the street. Be sure to review theowner’s manual. This is particularlyimportant if you are riding a borrowedmotorcycle.If you are going to use an unfamiliarmotorcycle: Make all the checks you would onyour own motorcycle. Find out where everything is,particularly the turn signals, horn,headlight switch, fuel-supply valveand engine cut-off switch. Find andoperate these items without havingto look for them.

9 Know the controls Work thethrottle, clutch, brakes, and shiftera few times before you start riding. Ride very cautiously and beaware of surroundings. Accelerategently, take turns more slowly andleave extra room for stopping.Check Your MotorcycleA motorcycle needs more frequentattention than a car. A minor technicalfailure on a car is seldom more than aninconvenience for the driver. The samefailure on a motorcycle may result in acrash or having to leave your motorcycleparked on the side of the road. Ifanything’s wrong with your motorcycle,you’ll want to find out about it beforeyou get in traffic.The primary source of informationabout how a motorcycle should beinspected and maintained is its owner’smanual. Be sure to absorb all of itsimportant information. A motorcycle willcontinue to ride like new if it is properlymaintained and routine inspectionsbecome part of its maintenance cycle.A pre-ride inspection only takes a fewminutes and should be done beforeevery ride to prevent problems. It’squick and easy to check the criticalcomponents and should be as routineand automatic as checking the weatherforecast before heading out for the day.A convenient reminder developed byMSF is T-CLOCSSM. There is a T-CLOCS“tear-out” sheet at the back of thismanual for you to keep with you whenyou ride. A T-CLOCS inspection shouldbe conducted before every ride, andincludes checks of:T — Tires and Wheels Check tire inflation pressure,treadwear and general condition ofsidewalls and tread surface. Try the front and rear brake leversone at a time. Make sure eachfeels firm and holds themotorcycle when fully applied.C — Controls Make sure the clutch and throttleoperate smoothly. The throttleshould snap back to fully closedwhen released. The clutch shouldfeel tight and should operatesmoothly. Try the horn. Make sure it works.L — Lights and Electrics Check both headlight and taillight.Test your switch to make sureboth high and low beams work. Turn on both right and left handturn signals. Make sure all lightsare working properly. Try both brakes and make sureeach one turns on the brake light. Clean and adjust your mirrors beforestarting. It’s difficult to ride with onehand while you try to adjust amirror. Adjust each mirror so youcan see the lane behind and asmuch as possible of the lane next toyou. When properly adjusted, amirror may show the edge of yourarm or shoulder – but it’s the roadbehind you and to the side that aremost important.O — Oil and Other Fluids Check engine oil and transmissionfluid levels. Check the brake hydraulic fluidand coolant level weekly. Be sure your fuel valve is openbefore starting out. With the fuelvalve closed, your motorcycle maystart with only the fuel that is stillin the lines, but will stall once thelines are empty.

10 Look underneath the motorcyclefor signs of an oil or fuel leak.C — Chassis Check the front suspension. Ensurethere is no binding. The rear shocksand springs should move smoothly.Be sure the chain or belt is adjustedaccording to the manufacturer’sspecifications and that the sprocketsare not worn or damaged.S — Stands Ensure the side stand operatessmoothly and that the spring holds ittightly in the up position. Ifequipped, the center stand shouldalso be held firmly against the framewhenever the motorcycle is moving.Additionally, regular maintenance suchas tune-ups and oil changes are asimportant for a motorcycle as routinecheckups by your doctor are for you.Wear and tear is normal with use;routine maintenance will help preventcostly breakdowns. The schedule forregular upkeep for motorcycle parts andcontrols is contained in yourmotorcycle’s owner’s manual.KNOW YOURRESPONSIBILITIES“Accident” implies an unforeseenevent that occurs without fault ornegligence. In traffic, that is not thecase. In fact, most people involved ina crash can claim some responsibilityfor what takes place.Consider a situation where someonedecides to drive through an intersectionon a yellow light turning red. Your lightturns green. You pull into theintersection without checking for possibletraffic. That is all it takes for the two ofyou to crash. It was the driver’sresponsibility to stop, and it was yourPREPARING TO RIDEresponsibility to look before pulling out.Both of you are at fault. Someone elsemight be the first to start the chain ofevents leading to a crash, but it doesn’tleave any of us free of responsibility.As a rider you can’t be sure thatother operators will see you or yield theright of way. To lessen your chances ofa crash occurring: Be visible — wear proper clothing,use your headlight, ride in the bestlane position to see and be seen. Communicate your intentions —use the proper signals, brake lightand lane position. Maintain an adequate spacecushion — when following, beingfollowed, lane sharing, passing andbeing passed. Search your path of travel 12seconds ahead. Identify and separate hazards. Be prepared to act — remain alertand know how to carry out propercrash-avoidance skills.Blame doesn’t matter when someoneis injured in a crash. The ability to rideaware, make critical decisions and carrythem out separates responsible ridersfrom the rest. Remember, it is up to youto keep from being the cause of, or anunprepared participant in, any crash.TEST YOURSELF2More than half of all crashes:A. Occur at speeds greaterthan 35mph.B. Happen at night.C. Are caused by worn tires.D. Involve riders who have less thanfive months of experience ontheir motorcycles.Answer - page 48

RIDE WITHIN YOUR ABILITIES11This manual cannot teach you how to control direction, speed or balance.That’s something you can learn only through practice, preferably in a formalcourse of instruction like an MSF RiderCourse. But control begins with knowingyour abilities and riding within them, along with knowing and obeying the rulesof the road.BASIC VEHICLE CONTROLBody PositionTo control a motorcycle well: Posture — Position yourselfcomfortably so you are able tooperate all the controls and can useyour arms to steer the motorcycle,rather than to hold yourself up. Thishelps you bond with yourmotorcycle and allows you to reactquickly to hazards. Seat — Sit far enough forward sothat arms are slightly bent whenyou hold the handgrips. Bendingyour arms permits you to press onthe handlebars without having tostretch. Hands — Hold the handgripsfirmly to keep your grip over roughsurfaces. Start with your right wristflat. This will help you keep fromaccidentally using too muchthrottle. Also, adjust the handlebarsso your hands are even with orbelow your elbows. This permitsyou to use the proper muscles forprecision steering. Knees — Keep your knees againstthe gas tank to help you keep yourbalance as the motorcycle turns. Feet — Keep your feet firmly on thefootrests to maintain balance. Don’tdrag your feet. If your foot catcheson something, you could be injuredand it could affect your control ofthe motorcycle. Keep your feet nearthe controls so you can get to themfast if needed. Also, don’t let yourtoes point downward — they mayget caught between the road andthe footrests.Shifting GearsThere is more to shifting gears thansimply getting the motorcycle to pickup speed smoothly. Learning to use thegears when downshifting, turning orstarting on hills is equally important forsafe motorcycle operation.The gearshift lever is located in frontof the left footrest and is operated bythe left foot. To shift “up” to a highergear, position your foot under the shiftlever and lift. To downshift, press theshift lever down. The shift leverchanges one gear each time it is liftedor pressed down. Whenever the lever isreleased, spring loading returns it tocenter, where the mechanism resets forthe next shift up or down. A typicalgear pattern is 1-N-2-3-4-5. The N is

12RIDE WITHIN YOUR ABILITIESfor neutral, which is selected by either a“half lift” from 1st gear or a “half press”from 2nd gear. Most motorcycles havefive gears, but some have four or sixgears.As your motorcycle increases speed,you will need to shift up to a highergear. Shift up well before the engineRPM reaches its maximumrecommended speed. As a general rule,shift up soon enough to avoid overrevving the engine, but not so soon tocause the engine to lug.When upshifting, use a 3-stepprocess: 1) Roll off the throttle as yousqueeze the clutch lever, 2) lift the shiftlever firmly as far as it will go, 3)smoothly ease out the clutch and adjustthe throttle. Once the shift is completed,release the shift lever to permit it toreset for the next shift.You should shift down through thegears with the clutch as you slow orstop, and can also shift down whenyou need more power to accelerate.Make certain you are riding slowlyenough when you shift into a lowergear. If not, the motorcycle will lurch,and the rear wheel may skid. Whenriding downhill or shifting into first gearyou may need to use the brakes to slowenough before downshifting safely.When downshifting, use a 3-stepprocess: 1) Roll off the throttle as yousqueeze the clutch lever, 2) press theshift lever down firmly, 3) ease out theclutch lever as you roll on the throttle.Once the shift is completed, release theshift lever to permit it to reset for thenext shift.
