1. How should tyre pressure normally be checked?

Only by a certified maintenance service.
Immediately after a long or high-speed journey.
✓ When the tyres are cold, using the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Using the maximum pressure shown on the tyre.

Tyre pressure rises as tyres become warm. Check them when cold and use the pressure specified on the vehicle label or in the owner's manual.

Why should hard braking be avoided while a motorcycle is leaning in a bend?

3. Why should hard braking be avoided while a motorcycle is leaning in a bend?

It can make the engine overheat.
It prevents the suspension from working.
✓ It can reduce stability and available tyre grip.
It makes the motorcycle turn more sharply.

When a motorcycle is leaning, the tyres are already using grip to turn. Hard braking can demand additional grip and may reduce stability. Whenever possible, adjust speed before the bend and use smooth, controlled inputs while cornering.

32. Why are tyre condition and pressure especially important on a motorcycle?

They determine how brightly the lights work.
They affect only comfort at high speed.
They matter only when carrying a passenger.
✓ They directly affect grip, stability, and braking.

A motorcycle relies on a relatively small area of tyre contact with the road. Correct tyre pressure, tread and condition are important for grip, steering, stability and braking. Check the tyres regularly and follow the manufacturer's recommended pressures.
