Which of the following actions is part of the daily maintenance of a motorcycle?

In the photo a large cruiser motorcycle is standing in a yard - a typical vehicle before a daily check. Checking the operation of the "stop" brake lights is part of the daily maintenance of a motorcycle - answer B.

The Road Traffic Act requires a vehicle to be maintained so that using it does not endanger safety, and "stop" lights are mandatory equipment - without them, the person behind you does not know that you are braking. Checking them takes a moment: you press the brake lever and the brake pedal and look to see whether the rear lamp gets brighter - on a motorcycle, many riders check this by parking the motorcycle with its rear facing a wall or a window. An emergency braking test (answer A) is a technique exercise on a training area, not a daily maintenance task; what you do check regularly is that the levers work and that there are no leaks. The electrolyte level (answer C) applies only to older serviceable batteries and is checked periodically, and in most modern motorcycles the battery is maintenance-free. Daily maintenance also includes the tyres and their pressure, the oil, the chain, the dipped headlights, the indicators and the horn.

Legal basis: Art. 66 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 12 para. 1 point 4 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment
