[SSDC] Class 2A (2010)

[jepang]

For me, class 2A i need to improve on:

 

Bumpy course: Tend to auto sit on bike halway through.

Riding posture: Cannot maintain straight leg on foot rest due to the position of

S4 and cg125(2b) is different.

 

Tomorrow going lesson 2. :-)

oh, i am having trouble with bumpy course too. I am quite inconsistant in that course sometimes i can last 6 seconds sometimes halfway i will go off course. have to practice more before i go for lesson 3. I like the power and sound of s4 so much. but it is so hot feel like my balls being cook lol

 

anyone used the letter from expressway familiarization course to get a eariler test date?

yeah lor really wtf, it takes 2weeks to complete all lessons and 2month waiting time. seriously I dont understand why they think reducing number of 2A testers will help reduce the accident rate, most ppl taking 2A should be owning 2B bikes, means it doesnt matter poor riding skill will get into accident anyway with or without 2A licence

yesterday fail again L2.

problem with timing of all courses, either too fast or too slow.

hope this saturday can pass L2 and will go more CR before assessment.

With smaller test group...they watched u very closely not only on skill to clear the courses..but also emphasize on your safetly check...

they just wan to ensure you can handle bigger cc bikes....then getting into trouble outside....

 

I even failed my cl2 during first test.... cos I put my right leg down....see how serious they are on small group.......

Well , u can try n keep us posted

[edwinling]

Bumpy course

 

Half squat position

Knee grip tank, crotch just above tank

Lean forward, shoulder just above handle bar

Get biting point, see first log, align bike

Past first log, see 3 logs ahead

Hold throttle, play clutch and tap rear brakes

 

I find this method easier.

 

 

 

 

TP test. Depending on tester for hand signal or signal light. Keep a look out.

 

Usually signal light for ebrake, shalom.

Hand signal for first point move off, figure 8, crank and narrow plank.

 

Auto move off for bumpy.

 

They see more riding poisition and safety check. Most important dun hold back your riding. Ride it like a pro! Be confident.

crank course exit abit tricky there must see got car parking anot

the timetable is here http://www.ssdcl.com.sg/information/monthly_tt.asp . i didnt know that can book tp without going thr the theory lol

[altya]

Failed my lesson 2, the test route seem so confusing....

 

Sian, i ok with everything except figure 8 and crank course... Don noe why i feel that the throttle very hard to control, reduce abit will jerk, increase abit too fast, is it me or the bike problem?

i find the throttle abit harder to control compare to 2b bike. i got slight problem like yours to once u turn a bit more the bike seem to move alot faster haha but once u shift to gear 2 it will be easier to control.

[greatmole]

me too i feel the bike jerk alot at gear 1 , the gear also always goes to neutral when i am from gear 1 to 2

for fig 8 and crank course....the trick at gear 2 is not to use the throttle to control..... the speed... (will jerk forward and backward, or even hit kerb)

 

hold on a comfortable speed...look at the way you're going....use rear brake to control the speed......

for cl2a and 2...the bike is powerful enough.......

yea, 2b bike more easier to control.... I feel the gear 2 too fast...

 

me too i feel the bike jerk alot at gear 1 , the gear also always goes to neutral when i am from gear 1 to 2

 

Wah, totally same feel lo, i also accidentally kick to neutral a few time, the gear feels loose....

Icic, so just maintain throttle and use rear brake to control?? If thats the trick den i will try it this wed, hope i will pass, thanks alot for the advise!

I have the same problem of kicking it to neutral gear for my first 2 lessons, but after i go for CR i find it ok. just kick harder abit. it just take sometime to get use to the bike. i had the exact same problem when i first learn 2b.

just took my test ytd, 2nd attempt. my 1st attempt was in jan 2011 and i failed to complete bumpy course then. that's why i was quite shocked to find out that they cut the number of testees by half. there's only a total of 25 class 2 and 2A testees per session.

 

i was only allowed to start from the start line after the rider before me completed his figure 8, that's how wide the gap is. and there is a tester stationed at the traffic junction just to mark on how you react at the junction, and your lane changing etc.

 

safety checks are thus very important because apart from the courses, the testers will also look out for you when you are "on the road". for example, when i started from the start line, apart from the 1st tester, the tester at narrow plank was also looking at me. so do remember to check all your blind spots, do the check backs correctly and dont put your right foot down except after the e-brake. there was a testee who failed because he went up the wrong slope, it was a real pity cos he only got 6 points. so yup make sure you remember where to turn.

 

like what edwinling said earlier, BE CONFIDENT AND RIDE LIKE A PRO. my mind was quite blank when i did the test, was just going through the motions. so try not to think too much and you'll do fine. do practise all your safety checks during the lessons itself to get used to it since most riders tend to neglect when they are riding outside (and you shouldnt!). for me it's natural to do safety checks in the circuit cos.. it's a driving circuit. anw my session had arnd 15 to 17 out of 25 who passed (i didnt count). haha so good luck to all!
