hey guys.. me been using the old bikes all along til wednesday first time use the FU plate bikes. Can't get use to the machine even til the end of the lesson.. realise i've been makin alot of wide turnings.
.........how how how??
wad went wrong?? -
maybe the clutch still new that's why the biking piont might be the problem. Anyway try to get used to it before your tp coz i heard from my friend that all candidates for tp are using new bikes. I took my licence there but that time all old bikes and helmets

Well, I've been using the FU plate bikes for my road subjects. Seems that their clutch free play is lesser + new engine thus when you release it the way you do for the old bikes, you'll travel a significantly longer distance + faster rate.. thus, causing your wide turnings..
Don't panic.. just learn to let the clutch off more slowly, I had your problem too.

You can adjust the viting point of your bike by unscrewing the screw by your clutch. The bike i heard the viting point is very faraway. So in order to counter your lesson..try adjusting your that screw before you move off for your lesson. Play with the screw, only then you will understand what i meant. Hope this helps.Originally posted by snowball72:hey guys.. me been using the old bikes all along til wednesday first time use the FU plate bikes.

I am TA150. But now changed nick liao... Cheers... -
The viting point now if i not wrong is, you have to release alot then can feel the power. Try to make it nearer.

florence...erm..wide turn mainly is beocoz how u turn, not the bike problem.
So why cant u get used to the bike? Clutch too strong? or the throttle too powerfull? I last time try to use first time also feel that the throttle is much powerfull than the old bikes, so really mus get used to it lor, once u are used to the new bike, u will feel that new bike is better...coz all parts are standard...and new so wont spoil. -
new bikes better mah,smoother, u wont get the rocky feelin, last time always like to aim instructor bikes during pracs

i can't ride slowly one..... Reason---> coz if i ride slowly....no..i wont fall alseep..but I WILL BUANG ONE!!!..... jai lats hor? -
The new bikes are very powerful, which means the clucth is very sensitive. so when u wanna release clutch, hold firm n release as slowly as possible, at the same time turn abit of ur throttle, hold clutch when u feel ur bike is moving... n play with ur throttle only... hard to tell u here.... my advice to u is tt do everything slowly.

flo, try to get a feel of the biting point of the bike before you move off. i always play with the clutch when the bike is stationary, or when i'm waiting. use your left leg and wheel the bike back a bit (check behind first hor...), then release clutch slowly and throttle up a wee bit until the bike starts moving forward, then clutch in when you want to stop (or brake lar). kinda cures boredom when the road is damn busy (esp when you're at the stopline), and most importantly you get more or less an idea of where the biting point is.Originally posted by snowball72:hey guys.. me been using the old bikes all along til wednesday first time use the FU plate bikes.

or another thing to do is when you're following those !@#$!# slow drivers, who move off bit by bit, and drive damn slowly one. for us it's damn siong cos of the blind spot checking. stop, check, ride 1m, and repeating the whole process is damn sian. when following them, don't stop completely, kick down to gear one and try to keep the bike moving by half clutching. train your slow riding, good practice for plank... eh but keep the brakes ready just in case...
to control the "wild horse" that your bike has become, clutching simply becomes more important. the power may be great, but you can affect how much of it gets transmitted to the wheels by controlling your clutch. likewise the clutching technique is important on the narrow plank. (half-clutching too much wears out the clutch-plates, but it's not your bike mar..)
got new bikes good already lar... the bike i used today got spoilt tachometer. my friend took TP on a bike with no speedo, but in the end passed. hahaha... BBDC must have changed the whole fleet of class 2B bikes right? cos at SSDC, the newest bikes are only given to those taking evaluations or road lessons. haiz.. explains my spoilt tacho today. which subj are you at now?

kidding lar.. don't angry hor.. haiz don't sweat it lar.. i'll rather i don't pass lesson 8 so soon, pass it like about one or two weeks before my TP would be best... i gotta wait 2 months lor... in the meantime if i don't burn money on self-practice, i'll prob get rusty.. so no point. eh the TP for bbdc like so easy to book. got pple post that they pass their subj. 13, then a while later they say they go for TP liao... so fast... i'm excited lar.. but the thought of going for it 7 weeks later.. haiz... sian ji pua...
