turn without putting a foot down Examiner will evaluate stopping safely in a painted stop box without putting
a foot down or skidding the vehicle
Skills 2. Cone Weave (U-Turn): Tests an applicant’s ability to control
the motorcycle at low speed while weaving through cones and making a U-Turn in a
designated area. The examiner will evaluate an applicant’s ability to stay within the
path of travel without touching lines or cones and without putting a foot down.
Cones are 12 feet apart with a two-foot offset.

Motorcycle Check
Tires. Keep tires in good condition. Check the tire pressure using a gauge. A tire may be underinflated without a noticeable change in appearance. Motorcycles do not handle properly if the air pressure is too low or too high. Check the owner’s manual for the right amount of air.
Tire Tread. Worn or uneven tread can make the motorcycle hard to handle, particularly on wet pavement.
Rims/Spokes. Check for bent, loose or damaged rims and spokes.
Damage. Check for cuts or objects stuck to the tread. Also, check the sidewalls for cracks. A blowout on a motorcycle can be extremely dangerous.
Controls Cables- Check for kinks or broken strands. If a cable breaks while riding, the motorcycle could become difficult to control and a crash could result. Lights Turn Signal Tail and Brake Light. Horn Chain- Make sure the drive chain is properly adjusted and lubricated. Check
themotorcycle owner’s manual for information regarding chain adjustment. Mirrors- Clean and adjust both mirrors before riding. It is difficult and
dangerous to adjust a mirror while riding. Swing both mirrors far enough outward to show about half the lane behind and as much as possible of the lane to the side.
Gas and Oil- Check gas and oil levels before riding. Running out of gas isinconvenient. It can also be dangerous as it makes leaving the road difficult. Lackof oil can seize an engine, causing the rear wheel to lock and loss of control.
