What the Minnesota Motorcycle and Motorized Bicycle Manual says about Minnesota laws and hand signals

  • Motorcycle Permit Process

    On a Minnesota motorcycle instruction permit you must wear a DOT-approved helmet and eye protection, may not carry passengers, and may not ride at night (from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise). p. ii

  • Motorcycle Endorsement Skills Test

    Minnesota's motorcycle skills test has four riding exercises measuring control and hazard response, isn't given on a wet, icy or snowy course, and a rider who tests on a three-wheeler is restricted to three-wheelers until they pass on the type they want to ride. p. ii

  • Motorcycle Endorsement Skills Test

    After passing Minnesota's skills test you apply for a new license with the endorsement; the application receipt lets you ride without permit restrictions until the new license arrives. p. iii

  • Motorcycle Insurance

    Every motorcycle registered in Minnesota must carry liability insurance for property damage or injury to others; no-fault injury, uninsured motorist, and damage or theft coverage are optional, and riding uninsured can cost the registration and license. p. iii

  • Motorcycle Equipment Requirements

    Minnesota motorcycles need a rearview mirror, horn and muffler, one or two headlights with high and low beams (modulators are legal), a red taillight with brake light (a blue dot up to one inch is allowed), at least one brake, and passenger footrests if there is a passenger seat. p. iv

  • Basic Rider Course (BRC)

    Minnesota riders under 18 must take the Basic Rider Course before the state knowledge (permit) and skills tests; riders 18 or older with a valid permit can earn the endorsement by passing the skills test at the end of the course (the skills test waiver). p. viii
