What does the term FINE-C stand for regarding an engine pre-start routine?

  1. Fuel, Ignition, Neutral, Emergency

  2. Front brake, Ignition, Neutral, Engine cutoff

  3. Fast, Intense, Neutral, Engine cutoff

  4. Fuel, Ignition, Neutral, Engine cutoff, Choke, Clutch

The correct answer is: Fuel, Ignition, Neutral, Engine cutoff, Choke, Clutch

The term FINE-C stands for Fuel, Ignition, Neutral, Engine cutoff, which are the key things to check during an engine pre-start routine. Checking the fuel ensures that there is an adequate supply for the engine to run, checking the ignition involves making sure the ignition system is on and functioning properly, ensuring the bike is in neutral prevents accidental movement when starting, checking the engine cutoff switch is in the correct position for starting the engine safely. The other options do not accurately represent the steps involved in the engine pre-start routine, making them incorrect.
