What is covered in the Kansas motorcycle handbook?
The Kansas motorcycle handbook covers motorcycle controls and equipment, riding techniques, defensive riding strategies, intersections and turning, carrying passengers and cargo, special riding conditions (rain, night, highways), and Kansas-specific traffic laws for motorcyclists.
Do I need a separate license to ride a motorcycle in Kansas?
Yes. Kansas requires a motorcycle endorsement (M) or separate motorcycle license to legally ride on public roads. You must pass both a written knowledge test and a skills test (or complete an approved safety course).
How many questions are on the Kansas motorcycle written test?
The Kansas (KS) motorcycle knowledge test has 25 questions, and you need 20 correct (80%) to pass. Practice free at DMVSOS to be ready for every one.
Can I take a motorcycle safety course instead of the written test in Kansas?
Many states allow you to waive the written and/or skills test by completing an approved MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Basic RiderCourse. Check with the Kansas DMV for current requirements.
