During the on-cycle test, you will be graded on how safely you handle your motorcycle. You will be tested on:

  • Five Foot Left Turn: Highway lanes are between 10 and 12 feet wide. You must show you can turn in half that space riding side by side with another motorcyclist.
  • Stop in Box Without Skid: Demonstrate your ability to stop without skidding at a stop sign or light.
  • 15-Foot Offset Cone Weave: At a slow speed, demonstrate your ability to avoid potholes and other objects on the pavement.
  • 20-24 Foot "U" Turn: Tests your ability to make a "u-turn" on a two-lane highway.
  • Quick Stop in a Straight Line: Tests your ability to stop in emergencies.
  • Obstacle Avoidance: Most vehicles are approximately 7 feet wide. This test demonstrates your ability to avoid a seven-foot obstacle in the road, yet stay on the pavement.
  • Engine Stall: Stalling indicates a rider's lack of clutch and throttle control. Stalling in traffic creates an unsafe situation.
