MSF BASIC ECOURSE BASICS FOR EMERGENCIES
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE
Question 1.
Emergency Stop in a Curve
ANSWER
Making an emergency stop in a curve requires effective use of available traction for both
leaning and braking. This means you should generally use less brake pressure in a curve than
when braking in a straight line.
Basically, you have two choices:
One is to straighten up first and make a quick stop in a straight line.
The other is to apply some brake pressure while leaned and increase brake pressure as you
straighten up.
To straighten up first, you must have enough space to complete the stop. If road and traffic
conditions permit, straighten the motorcycle first and then square the handlebars (center the
steering) before the brakes are applied.
To apply brake pressure while leaned, apply and adjust the brakes progressively. As your lean
angle is reduced, apply more brake pressure. It is best to have the motorcycle straight up with
the handlebars squared at the end of a stop.
Question 2.
Swerving
ANSWER
Swerving refers to an emergency procedure where you move quickly to the right or left,
whether you are going straight or in a curve. There must be good traction and a clear path.
Swerving skillfully requires practice.
Do not brake while making an aggressive swerve. Any braking while making the maneuver,
even engine braking, may cause the tires to lose traction. If you can slow before swerving, do
so and then release the brakes before initiating the swerve.

, Question 3.
In a rear tire skid when the rear wheel is not in line with the front wheel, you want to release the rear
brake to quickly straighten the motorcycle.
A. True
B. False
ANSWER
B. False
Question 4.
Upper body position during a swerve on a straight road is best described as:
A. Rising off the seat
B. Upright
C. Leaning forward
D. Leaning backward
ANSWER
B. Upright
Question 5.
Swerving - On a Straight Road
ANSWER
When swerving on a straight road, your initial press should be firm enough to cause the
motorcycle to lean quickly.
Keep your torso upright, your knees against the tank, your feet on the footrests, and look
toward your clear path. Do not fixate at what you are trying to miss. Be sure to have a clear
path for the swerve back.
Question 6.
What makes stopping quickly in a curve more difficult?
A. The road surface is more slippery
B. Only the rear brake can be used
C. Wheels are more likely to lock
D. Some traction is needed for cornering
ANSWER
D. Some traction is needed for cornering
