Which action is part of the upshifting process when riding a motorcycle?

  1. Apply sudden brakes

  2. Change gears without using the clutch

  3. Wave at other drivers

  4. Ease out of the clutch and gently apply throttle

The correct answer is: Ease out of the clutch and gently apply throttle

During the upshifting process when riding a motorcycle, easing out of the clutch and gently applying throttle is a crucial step. This action allows for a smooth transition to the next higher gear without causing jerky movements or stalling the motorcycle. Applying sudden brakes (option A) is not part of the upshifting process; it is used to slow or stop the motorcycle. Changing gears without using the clutch (option B) can cause damage to the gearbox and is not a recommended practice. Waving at other drivers (option C) is a friendly gesture but is unrelated to the upshifting process.
