Question 1728 in the bank

When you squeeze the motorcycle’s clutch lever:

  1. Correct answer: You disconnect the engine from the gearbox.
  2. You connect between the engine and the gearbox.
  3. The motorcycle stops on the place.
  4. The engine’s fuel consumption increases.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: You disconnect the engine from the gearbox.

Squeezing the clutch lever cuts the power flow from the engine to the gearbox, and so to the rear wheel. This lets you change gear or come to a stop without stalling the engine. Releasing the lever reconnects them. Squeezing the clutch does not stop the motorcycle, which keeps rolling on its momentum, so you must use the brakes to stop.
