A2Difficulty 3/5

On a motorcycle with a conventional twist-grip throttle, how should you normally operate it?

Correct answer

Smoothly and progressively.

Smoothly and progressively, adapting acceleration to grip and traffic conditions. Sudden throttle openings can upset balance or cause loss of traction, particularly when grip is poor. A conventional twist-grip is operated with the right hand, not a pedal. Coordinate the controls without unnecessary bursts of throttle.
