Hi all, just ended my CR. Have a few completed crank course, also a few unsuccessful one, fell, stalled. Far from good. But slightly better than the previous lesson. But thanks for all the advices. 

I think need to rmb the eye point. 

Thank you so much!

I also had problem with the crank initially.. especially when the engine juz dies on mi cos i change gear at the wrong timing.. wat i did was when at the starting point, i throttle n keep it stable then when i turn into the course, i change to gear 2 n slowly release the throttle while at the bend.. once u pass the bend, juz maintain throttle n cruise through.. control ur speed with the clutch instead of the brakes cos the brakes will make u jerk n lose control. Lightly grip the tank to bend n turn if u need to.. then quickly check for traffic near the exit, check blindspot n turn to the lane immediately when safe to do so.

U can start releasing the clutch (slowly) once u enter 2.

And you will need to focus on turning into 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 while slowly releasing clutch.

Yes, there is no fix like must fully release at 4 or 5...

Just curious.. nowadays no need to release clutch before the starting point of a straight line?

last year while taking my 2A, instructors say release clutch asap...

If can dun release asap.. can use half clutch control and pass this easily..

Got check with instructor if there's any specific point that you need to release your clutch fully? If not, how many points? 

*Based on what I remember, if only points, just take the points from this lesson instead of stalling due to Immediate failure and try to reduce the points from other courses..

Maybe it's different from 2A? LOL.. 

ok la.. no fault then just half clutch then release fully when suitable..

I went CDC, maybe that's why different from both of you..

Maybe the stretch at CDC was longer.. cos ssdc 1 too short distance to up gear in time

i was at CDC until lesson 2 2years ago actually.. gave up cos my life flashes b4 me when a learner car passes infront of mi when i fell in the yellow box..

lolol i stall if i change too early.. if i change inside n control with clutch at the 1st bend then release b4 i reach the 2nd then no issue.. i usually play cheat by starting when i see no more cars at the exit so by the time i finish i can just turn out already.. 

i on the msx already need to tip toe.. on the yamaha even thou they got low seat but the bike still too heavy for mi to handle that time. then my other friends keep psycho me to retake my 2B n tell mi go SSDC for the MSX.. at least now i managed to survive till lesson 7.. still hate the slow speed sharp turns going in n out of the sch thou..

Went for L8 last month, the instructors are not as strict as L5 (Circuit assessment). Only one instructor evaluating circuit portion and one on one on the road. Anyway, got this defensive riding portion before road evaluation.

TP for circuit is actually quite nice, they'll close off 2 parking lots after the crank course, but not the one directly infront of the crank course.

I afraid of slow and sharp turns.and also no confidence. Especially if crank course my bike fell, i will feel so stressed. Cos i hardly able to lift my bike and everybody will be waiting. Or if the instructor not nearby then some nice rider will offer help

I remember during my CDC circuit TP - no cars.. I believe they close off the first section of car booking.. then for those behind, more and more car coming on the road.

Wah.. tts so nice.. at least no cars to block.. Im so blessed that the instructor close 1 eye when my crash bar hits the kerb but didnt hinder my movement during S course..  he let me pass n my lesson 5 only obtain 2 demerit points..

I still havent complete lesson 5 assessment. I think if this case my lesson 6 next time we be jialat also. 

Ummmm. I not sure. Cos im only 152cm. Last time i tried before lifting up when i fell using my thigh area which one of the instructor taught  can be lift up. But by maybe if the first 2 times i didnt manage to do it or never do it right then then rest difficult already cos by then i already used up my energy.

If i can lift the bike easily by myself then maybe the stress will be slightly lesser cos i wont be wasting others time.

see your location lor.. then if any one stay around there willing to bring u out for a pillion ride..

join some telegram group, ask for riders, confirm have alot of boy boy willing to pillion Mei Mei de..

Picking up bike with smaller built required correct techniques.. Imagine those petite gals go for CL2? next time your CR - ask the instructors if you can learn how to pick up bike right before your lesson end or not.. after you ride left about 20min go back and look for instructor for assistance. Then learn the technique lor..

 

I'm a big built uncle.. Tested CL2 pick up.. no issues..

Try to grip your tank tighter after putting your left foot up. Can tap slight rear brake to help feel more planted to the ground.
