How do you increase the speed of a motorcycle?

To increase the speed of a motorcycle, turning the throttle in is the correct action. The throttle controls the flow of fuel and air into the engine, and when you twist it toward you (in), you are effectively opening the throttle further. This allows more fuel and air to enter the engine, which increases its power output and causes the motorcycle to accelerate.

This action is essential for gaining speed while riding, as it directly impacts the engine's performance. Riders gain better control over their speed and acceleration by understanding and effectively using the throttle.

Other actions, like pulling the clutch or shifting to a lower gear, do not directly increase speed. Pulling the clutch disengages the engine from the wheels, which may be necessary during certain riding maneuvers but does not contribute to acceleration. Shifting to a lower gear typically occurs when a rider needs to slow down or for improved torque at lower speeds rather than to accelerate. Thus, the correct method to increase speed on a motorcycle is through throttling in.
