What may happen if you start moving and you release the clutch too abruptly?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. The front wheel will go up or the engine will stall.
Explanation
In the photo you can see the left side of the handlebars of a motorcycle with the clutch lever and switches. If you release the clutch too quickly when pulling away, the front wheel may lift or the engine will stall - answer A.
The clutch connects the engine with the wheel; as you release the lever, you gradually transfer torque to the drive. If you release it suddenly at low revs, the engine does not have enough power to move off with the load of the motorcycle, and it stalls - usually with a jerk, after which the motorcycle may fall over. If you do the same at high revs, all the torque reaches the rear wheel in a split second, the front becomes light and lifts, and an uncontrolled "wheelie" at a junction ends in a fall or in running into the vehicle in front of you. The Road Traffic Act forbids using a vehicle in a way that endangers the safety of people in the vehicle or outside it and requires you to keep control of it. Answer B describes the effect of braking, not pulling away, and answer C is the opposite of the truth - a light front loses grip. So you pull away with a little throttle, smoothly releasing the clutch to the biting point, and then fully.
