in addition to one of the above Combination questions the Examiner will ask one or two of the following questions: Advice you would give a pillion passenger? Make sure they are wearing the correct clothing including an approved safety helmet. Make sure they sit on the bike astride, facing forwards with their feet on the foot pegs at all times. Tell them were to hold. Either to the rider or the grab rail. Don’t fidget about. Lean with the rider and the bike into the corners. Don’t do any arm signals. Don’t look over my shoulder. What changes would you make to the bike if you were taking a pillion passenger? Increase the tyre pressures according to the manufacturer’s advice (owner’s manual). Adjust the suspension according to the manufacturer’s advice (owner’s manual). Fold the foot pegs down. Adjust the headlights according to the manufacturer’s advice (owner’s manual). Adjust the mirrors up, as the back will squat down. How is the extra weight on the back going to affect the handling? Acceleration is going to be affecting. On more powerful bike the front could go very light. Deceleration is affected. Stopping distances are going to increase. Cornering is going to be affected. Centre of gravity is higher therefore it is wise to go into corners slower. Front wheel is going to be lighter. Therefore it will feel a little bit vague. What would affect your balance? Strong winds, and turbulence from high sided vehicles. Drink/Drugs. Poorly maintained machine. Taking additional weight. Poor road surface.
