The clutch on a motorcycle allows the rider to disconnect the engine from the transmission, enabling smooth gear shifting and preventing the rear wheel from locking up.
Recommended safety gear when riding a motorcycle includes a helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, and boots, as well as eye protection and reflective clothing.
A safe following distance when riding a motorcycle is at least 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front, allowing for sufficient time to react and stop in case of an emergency.
Countersteering on a motorcycle involves intentionally turning the handlebars in the opposite direction of a slide or lean, helping the bike to straighten up and regain traction.
Motorcycle tire pressure should be checked at least once a week, before long trips, and after any changes in load or riding conditions, to ensure proper traction, handling, and tire longevity.
