Sigh~, today is mine 3rd try for practical lesson 1 liao, still cannot pass and still remain in the circuit by going round and round. Sianz, what must i do in order to proceed to second round? Many instructor teaches me many method when comes to a full brake that time, some say "close throttle + clutch + brake & foot brake" & some say "close throttle + brake + foot brake and den clutch." so what is the correct wan? can some1 tell? many thnx...

if i'm not wrong...there are two different ways to break, depending on your speed:
FAST (long stopping distance):
throttle + foot break, then clutch + drop gears
SLOW (short stopping distance):
throttle + clutch + break
have patience ....i think the main thing is to not get nervous..just keep your cool at the lesson. its natural to get frustrated, but well....if you give up...you are the one to lose..so jsut hang in there man... good luck! -
i tink the best way is to ask the instructor to pillion you so you can see what hes doing from behind..
must be calm too

Practice more and get the feel of braking and stopping.
Thinking Off Throttle, Foot Brake, Hand Brake, Clutch In, will distract you into thinking of the actions to perform, rather than stopping smoothly without wobbling.
Those actions must become second nature, and you should go by feel.
And of course looking up ahead helps. I am sure the instructors also shout "Don look down" -
yup yup yup, mancha is right, clutch last. when you clutch in first, yr bike becomes free play and this will increase yr speed. makes it harder for you to stop and you need to brake longer and harder to stop.Originally posted by mancha:Practice more and get the feel of braking and stopping.

For any kind of stopping, or at all conditions...on the road or at training it is alwaysOriginally posted by James1:Sigh~, today is mine 3rd try for practical lesson 1 liao, still cannot pass and still remain in the circuit by going round and round.

Close Throttle-brake(foot brake first and hand brake.......it fell like almost at the same time) and follow by clutch in. At emergency, it is even better it you forget about the clutch.
Use more of your rear brake both ridding and balancing, rear brake is the foot brake.
Enjor your ridding and ride safe. -
Many a times, is how u perform one. Did u ask the instructor where u gone wrong or not?
Slowly down and brake will test how much of your judgement u are using:
When u need to stop, u close throttle. Closing throttle is also based on judgement. Cannot too early
stop too early. Cannot too late dangerous.
After the throttle is closed, let the engine braking take over first before applying the brakes. This allow u to judge how much and when to apply the brakes.
Are you in 2nd or 3rd gear? Then must know to step down when slowing down.
Dun brake liao then gear still in 2nd or 3rd. This one confirm fail one because your right leg must confirm come down to let left leg change gear. Like tat finish , once right leg come down, fail liao.
Finally, when bike slowly down and about to stop, cluth-in. U must know the bike u are riding on. Tat is why each time lessons, get acustom to the bike u are riding quickly:
1.) how much must u clutch to engage/disenage the engine.
2.) how effective are the brakes. Some bikes press alittle, brake liao, some must press alot.
3.) Overall handling.
Once u master this, then no problem liao, give u wat bike, u also can ride.
Again, all I mentioned, happen very fast. So u must get to it very quickly. Dun be tempeted to look down on ur bike to see. first, this show u have no confidence. second, it is bloody dangerous.
I hope my 2 cents helps! -

Don't laugh at me k?Originally posted by chong-ster:angelicpenny, wad lesson ur at now? I admit I'm abit slow. I'm stuck at lesson 3 coz my pylon always take more than 6 secs. Last lesson I took 6.54 secs but he still dont wanna clear me 
Wanna give some advice? emergency brake and plank got no prob but pylons are my nightmare. -
When it comes to pylon, I always play cheat. I always let the bike travel free-wheel or engine brake. 2B bikes are still okay, but I dare not open throttle to do the pylons during my class 2A n 2, cos' the engine brake is super strong...

how u do that? U clutch in all the way? Can ah?Originally posted by cannypie:When it comes to pylon, I always play cheat.
