The front end of your motorcycle starts to wobble, and you open the throttle to try to ride out of it. What effect will that have?
Correct answer: It will make the motorcycle even less stable.
Answer options
- AIt will make the motorcycle even less stable Correct
- BIt will steady the motorcycle and stop the shaking
- CIt will have no effect on the wobble at all
Why
Adding speed feeds a wobble and makes the motorcycle harder to control. Instead, hold the handlebars firmly without fighting them, close the throttle gradually, and avoid braking, which can also make the wobble worse.
