If your front tire fails while riding, you should:

  1. Shift your weight to the front

  2. Shift your weight to the rear

  3. Lean into the failed tire

  4. Brake suddenly

The correct answer is: Shift your weight to the rear

If your front tire fails while riding, shifting your weight to the rear is the correct response. This helps to stabilize the motorcycle by transferring more weight to the rear wheel, which still has traction. This action can help you maintain control of the bike and safely come to a stop. Shifting your weight to the front or braking suddenly can lead to loss of control and potentially cause a crash. Leaning into the failed tire is also not recommended as it can further destabilize the motorcycle.
