BDifficulty 2/5

When carrying an authorised passenger on a motorcycle, what must you do regarding the vehicle’s behaviour?

Correct answer

Adapt riding and the specified adjustments for carrying a passenger.

Adapt riding to the weight and load distribution and check manufacturer-specified adjustments, such as tyre pressures and suspension. The passenger should follow movements smoothly. Do not assume the rear wheel will always be harder to lock: braking, grip, mass distribution and assistance systems matter. Neither a shorter braking distance nor immunity to crosswinds is guaranteed.
