I thought that you would be able to view the correct answers after each attempt during your e-trials? Did they change it?

No dude, there is a separate tank for 2T. What bike are you riding? For RS125 is under the rider seat. You can also ask the person who sold you the bike how to top up 2T.

Mine is a second hand bike, the previous owner changed the rear set, i can't find the similar brand anywhere. Don't know where he got it from. I have gotten 1 from ah boy for temporary usage till i find a suitable one. I tried searching online bike stores but the shipping cost is not worth it. And amazon and ebay doesn't allow shipping to Singapore for these items. I'll have to think of a way to get it. pufferfis - you can search for rearset pedal tip in google and you'll know what is it, i don't have a picture of it

Hi Bros and Sis, is there anyone who can guide me on where can i purchase pedal tips? mine fell off during a ride and i can't retrieve it. Is there a standard size or are there different sizes? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi all, i went to warm up my 2011 rs 125 today and after running for around 3 minutes, he engine suddenly stopped. I tried starting it up again but there was only the cranking sound, the engine could not start. The last time i rode her was last Saturday. Could any bro advise me on the issue?

For myself, during my first few lessons, i had trouble turning and maneuvering as well. It was only until lesson 4 that 1 instructor told me my posture was to stiff, elbows were locked all the time. Might be same issues for many new riders as well. What i learned was to sit upright, lean forward(not hunch) a little more, turn your elbows instead of your shoulders while turning at low speed, relax yourself while riding. This will help greatly during cornering and all the obstacle courses in the future.

After almost a year of practice, i'm proud to say that i have finally obtain the holy grail, my class 2B license!! Have been quite upset after my first fail TP attempt so did not come on here often. Now that i have passed, i would really like to thank all the instructors at cdc for the guidance, and bros and sis here for the tips. To all those still grinding, don't give up!! See you on the road!!

Hey bro, I would like to join as well. Just got my license!!

Not to be a wet bucket, but lesson 3 i think very unlikely you will be able to pass in 1 attempt if you do not have prior riding experience. The slope is about clutch control and biting point. You have to stop on the slope, release your front break to engage the throttle and control your clutch to get your biting point. While doing so, remember to always keep your right leg engaged on the break pedal, don't release it, this is very important(Actually now i made it a point to never release my rear break till I'm ready to move off even on normal roads, i use it kinda like the hand break in cars). Once you feel you have found your biting point, look straight ahead and slowly release your foot break. If your bike starts to move forward, you are fine, if your bike starts to roll back, quickly engage the break pedal to stop it. Figure 8 and crank is a little trickier. It is about looking in the direction you want to travel and banking in. For someone with no previous experience, it might be harrowing. Just take it at your own pace first, instructors will teach you about eye-line, where to look and which part of the course while maintaining constant throttle, i think a write out here will not be of much use till you experience it yourself. Keep an eye-line in the direction you want to travel and your body will kinda bank on its own. Don't use the front break, use rear break instead to slow down if you have to. For figure 8, i will usually change up to gear 2 after entering the course so that i have sufficient speed, some prefer to do it before entering in case the change to neutral they can rectify it early. For crank, now I'll just let the bike cruise through the course without throttle after changing to gear 2, if it gets too slow, I'll just throttle and release. Eye line looking at the corners, instructors will inform you where to look at which part of the course. If not, ask him, as they usually pay more attention to figure 8. And last but not least, watch more Valentino Rossi video on Youtube... No, I'm kidding, don't go start banking like him. If you've got time, bro Rijac has jotted down pretty good information in the previous pages. Do check them out.

Just remember if you are moving off from stationary, always check back right and then blind spot check the direction you will be turning to, if going straight, blind spot check not required. If changing lane, blind spot check the direction you will be changing to. For bends, check blind spot roughly at the last directional arrow in the direction of the bend before negotiating it. Try to memorize the directional arrows within the circuit route at each stopping point so you can form up correctly. Eg. Stop Lines and Traffic Junctions. - For Left only arrow, first vehicle form up left, second from up right - For Right only arrow, first vehicle form up right and second form up left - Multi directional arrows, "if turning left, only form up 1 row on the left of the lane","if turning right, only form up 1 row on the right of the lane", "if going straight, form up 2 rows starting from the left or cover up empty spaces if there are already bikes stopping" Practice more till it becomes second nature as it will be very useful in your journey. Although i can write them all out now, i would still forget some checks while riding, especially during tense moments. But there's 1 thing i'm not very sure, at the zebra crossing, if we do stop, is it in 1 or 2 rows? I presume it is 2 rows starting from left...

For me, that "straight" is not really traveling straight, I am still recovering from the banking during the previous curve and going into a new banking posture for the next curve, so i tend to just maintain throttle instead of adding. Use foot breaks if I'm too fast. I went for CR on Sat and Sun and fell on both days in Crank. But i kinda gotten the hang of it, i use to throttle after shifting to gear 2 in crank, bike became too fast and i will lose control. Now i realize the bike has got enough momentum to go through crank even without throttle. So will practice more on it.

Bro, I think either you passed a long time ago and forgot or you came from different school. The figure 8 crank is lesson 3, Slalom is lesson 4, he have not taken it yet. Haha. But you made some important points. Banking is important together with eye-line. If your are scared(which is normal, i was too initially), try banking a little first and slowly build up confidence and bank more. But don't worry, even you you bank too much and fall or lose control of bike, the crash bars are there to prevent you from taking heavy injury. There was once I tried to bank low without sufficient speed and lost control of bike, end up upping the curb and fell. But crash bars are there to save me.

Ya man RS125, i use to walk over to the Aprilia showroom behind CDC after lessons to get motivation. Looking at the shiny new RS125 and RS4 125 is a real turn on!!

Although i have not gotten my 2b, and yet to clear lesson 5 internal circuit test, going to sgbikemart and looking at all the bikes make me drool!!! Damn

Figure 8 and crank are killers. Even though i have passed lesson 3, i am not sure if i can complete them at a high success rate. Eye-line is very important. For Figure 8, i feel that it is important to change gear after entering the course to get enough speed, i tend to look 90 degrees at the cones as reference, maintain constant speed and slow down with rear breaks if necessary. I was terrible as crank before, the instructor on my third attempt was good and taught us a method which i felt worked for me. While moving off, do not look at the entrance, aim at the first L-corner, after entering, aim at the second L-corner, while you are at the middle of the course, aim at the exit. I'm going for my first circuit revision this weekends to brush up all the courses. I might do terrible after not doing them for so long, oh well I'll see how it goes.
