Tips to taking Class 2A

[jinkai]

Hi guys,

 

those who has class 2a licence, any tips to first time pass TP?

 

eg. the pushing up of the class 2a bike when it falls might be difficult for me as i find some 2b bikes abit hard to put to main stand alr, let alone to push up a 2a bike..

 

abit scared as im not pro in riding and its been 1 yr back to driving centre (BBDC)..

 

i heard from my friend he spent $200 in overall only..

 

advice pls!!

[jinkai]

anyone got any tips to share???

[nbk3]

hey there. i just signed up for 2A recently at bbdc as well. i was advised that typically expenditure is around the $300 range, inclusive of everything.

 

if u've not been riding for the past 1yr, it takes a while to get used to the bike again... rusty la. each lesson 100mins about ~$25 only.

i see..just went back for first lesson and repeated once (zzz..)

 

i think im quite rusty with turns and bends, have to brush up for next lesson S-course and bumpy sia..

 

you went already?

[nbk3]

yeah, jus did my s/crank/e-brake/bump today, totally chui. s-course no confidence to go fast, not like 2B where the bike was lighter n easier to handle.

 

crank i dunno y my gear1 kept jumping... change bike alrdy also no use. so in e end need more prac sibe sianz...

 

ebrake was alright, just whack only. but bumpy i scared falldown, so the first few time went too fast, instructor see alrdy also tell me jus practice, cos i need another lesson to practice.. lol!

 

ok la, all in all 2A got just 3 practical lessons only. but if ure not a frequent rider, expect to repeat every lesson. get the experience and go thru the lessons 1 by 1. normal to repeat

 

as someone once told me, given enuff time, anyone can train an idiot to do anything. just need time nia.

Rev and try to open VTEC and then wheelie the whole bike when u throw clutch.... and then you realize...... there is no VTEC on school bikes...

there is no SP for 2A/2. it is actually RC but wear SP tags. RC can only be booked after you pass 3.01. have fun in your learning journey!

ya, abit fast! but also cos 2A only 3 practical lessons only, quite chop chop wan. bbdc also smart, eat our membership fee. $60+ for a year, when each year we can only take 1bike lesson nia. zzzz...

 

yup! as Jeethan said, need to pass our 3.01 first before u can book for revision circuits

 

i got 1 month from now till my TP! hopefully book 2 sessions of SP is good enuff. since 2A dun haf to go road, jus circuit nia

Hi guys

 

I'm planning to start my 2A classes next week at bbdc. Can someone give me a guide on what to expect for each of the practicals?

E.g. Practical 1 - Slope, plank, slalom, E.Brake, pick up bike

Practical 2 - S course, crank course, bumpy section etc etc.

 

I hope to know the lesson structure beforehand so I can prepare myself. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

hahaha...you already given out the answer.

 

anyway, all the things you need to know can be found in your 2a booklet.

 

i have only gone for 1 session & flopped very badly. All the bad habits i got over the years caught up with me. Got to recall how my 2b was like ( many years ago ). If you passed 2b just last year, should not be a big problem...same "style" ( no neutral, no right foot, check blind spots, proper signalling, proper hand grip, same circuit courses as 2b etc. )

 

not much difference, i will probably fail 2b if i have to take it again...all my bad habits & all. 2a bike is just heavier that is all...the rest is the same.

I'm rather worried about the bumpy course.. Is it hard?

[fazerocks]

Be steady at all times... sure can make it..

[jinkai]

haha shucks man, havent been going back to driving school for the lessons once school started for me..think will only be going one shot to TP in dec =(

[pandy]

i have the same fear like you before. you will get better after some practice.

 

it is more easier than it looks.

 

half standing on the foot rest. clutch in or step on the foot brake to slow down.

 

open throttle when the bike need power ie too slow or about to fall over to either side.

 

Remember to stand on the foot rest else you will feel very sore at somewhere delicate.

it happened to one of the chaps on one of my practice lessons. ;-)

for ebrake, remember tis few points:

 

1. check blind spot, and accelerate till 40km/hr at 1st cone

2. maintain 40km/hr after 1st cone.

3. when ur handle bar passes the 2nd cone OR ur bike meter crosses the white line, apply 20% brake to ur rear brake and 80% to ur front brake. lock ur elbow oso.

4. when bike wanna complete stop, clutch in and lower ur left foot.

 

Done.

Done.

 

no 4 should be lower left foot? you lower right foot only when after the stop and u want to down gear back to gear 1.
