Nunavut publishes no standalone motorcycle manual, but both of its driver manuals carry a motorcycle section: special rules for riders, learner restrictions, the ban on carrying a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped for two, riding side by side, and the restriction on riding after sunset. Short, but it is the territory's own motorcycle content and the test draws on it.

Why motorcycle riders should read the Nunavut handbook once
Every question on the Class 7 knowledge exam comes from what Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles publishes in this handbook. Our 147 practice questions for Nunavut are written from it too, so reading it once and then testing yourself is faster than doing either alone.
You do not have to read all 2 parts at once. Take the rules of the road and the signs first, then come back for licensing and registration.
