Mica & Ahxian,

 

The EO youre discussing abt is actually the gearbox oil. There is no EO as such for a 2T bike. Eo only for 4T bikes/engines. The 2T oil from your 2T tank will mix with the petrol in the carb, & that mixture will lubricate the cylinder & crankshaft when sucked in during induction. But it doesnt lubricate the gearbox. So separate oil for that one. In a 4T engine, the oil poured into the engine/crankcase will lubricate both the cylinder & gearbox.

 

Changing gearbox oil can also be DIY, if you want to save some $$. A bit messy only.

This has already been debated by Rijac. Anw when you go to the mech, all you need to tell him is change EO. If you tell him change GO he probably will HUH you. Change EO change EO good enough. You understand, he understand, everyone understands. I'm not bothered with the technical terms.

[lesterq]

Okay! I'll rev higher before upping gear during the next prac. And also kick up harder. Haha..

 

I think I'm gonna clear until prac 5. Then do circuit revision until i'm like imba in it.

Then after clear rtt slowly clear road practicals.. then after rtt should have cleared

prac 8. Then just revision twice every week up to tp. Should be fine right?

[rijac]

My only real problem is gear change i guess. Also my neutral problem is because i never kick up to gear 2 hard enough.. Nothing to do with accelerating right??

 

 

If you have BTT . Go circuit training -> apply PDL -> start practicals

and go for rtt theory and drt theory..

If you are not carrying enough speed this could happen. I used to have this problem until I started reving off more aggressively. Esp fig 8 and crank

Ladida. .. lol

Bike 68 is easy to change gears. Clutch point also very close to the bar

[AhXian90]

Went down planet there, to check my bike,shop uncle just ride one round and tweak throttle cable? said no prob wif it, maybe its just i dunno how to ride this bike yet, >.. Plus they only got motul(off road 2t aswell) there. First bike shop experience felt so sua ku,LOL.

 

aiya i think engine oil/gear oil..........just go shop say ''black oil''(chinese) will be understand universal lol.Btw, rode pass cdc, and saw Mr Bahtera and RR group, didnt manage to say hello, i was turning left, they doin 1st right turn,haha.

Always have one bottle in reserve. U never want to run out of 2t at the wrong time

[jbdoggy]

Btw, rode pass cdc, and saw Mr Bahtera and RR group, didnt manage to say hello, i was turning left, they doin 1st right turn,haha.

 

Yep, he was in charge of RR that morning 830 & later 1020 L8.

 

Must say, that guy is really passionate about his job! Most of the time us CR people will be left alone to our own devices by other instructors, but he will treat us as if we are his own students at his lesson station. Encouraging, pointing out mistakes, giving tips etc. I was surprised today that he could even remember some of my plank timings! Was very fortunate that 3 of my CRs corresponded with him conducting L4!. Really a great guy!

Prac 6 not too difficult, just quite a lot of things to memorise. Immediate failure, stop line nvr stop.

 

1. Cross junction with no red turning arrow, only 1 bike can move out into the yellow box? Second bike stay behind stop line? (First junction after exit cdc)

 

2. Junction with turn pockets, in the smaller pocket, 2 bikes can enter at any one time right, but the 2nd bike rear wheel will probably cross the road markings after the stop line (talking abt the right turn to airport rd) but this is fine according to instructor, yes? 3rd bike stay behind stop line, when green arrow comes on, check back, move, check blindspot and turn.

 

3. Zebra crossing with filter lane (broken double line) 2nd bike go behind first bike, when clear can go, no need stop bc there is no stop line? Bikes behind will cover up and if no traffic can also go without stopping (again because its a give way line)?

 

4. But if got stop line at any junction, 3rd and 4th bike must cover up to stop line, safety check then proceed? Like in the circuit?

 

5. Cross junction with no traffic light, inside estates for eg, but with stop line... Have to stop, check back and go, even if there is no traffic?

 

6. Traffic light junction, turning left. When green arrow comes on, first bike cut across pedestrian path and wait for any pedestrians, check back right, blindspot left and go? Second bike need or no need stop at the line and do safety check again?

 

Didn't manage to ask the instructor all these. Failed bc nvr stop at stop line, I didn't even notice the stop line. Thanks for any answers.

Yeah he is a super nice guy, will really explain ur mistake clearly to u, and how u go about doing it

 

Back for ur 2A liao haha

i ll try to give u some answer,it may not be correct :X alrdy return my knowledge to cdc after passing haah. Old birds pls correct me haha.

 

Hmm let see;

1) For this i believe it would be 2 bikes into the box(instructor bike+1 bike,in lesson 6),covering up the first left lane(of ur right-side traffic) 3rd bike would be before stop line. (do not angle the bike, unless there is a curve divider) Look at the board diagram or the test route paper, u get the idea.

 

2)yes, or when the green come on with no oncoming traffic, u may turn. (1 pocket = 2 bike)

 

3)Yes, its a give way line,just check the traffic,if clear do a blindspot check before u outta the filter lane.(if stop for traffic, checkback + blindspot) and remember to be in the middle of the filter lane.(add on,make sure ur front or rear wheel not touching the zebra marking)

 

4)Hmm,dun really get ur question. It would be if goin straight, u form up left-right, left-right. Unless u re turning;then u formed 1 row, and depending on the chevron arrow, Multi or single, single- 2 row as well.

as per normal check back from kerb,+ blindspot if turning.

 

5) Hahaha yes, this is the killer for pract 6, stop line or stop sign, die die must stop. died twice on this.

 

6)there is a green arrow there? traffic light sequence i dun really get them haha(is this green arrow-amber- green?). ok hmm, yea if stop at the crossing, check back + blindspot, rest is as per normal, checkback, + blindspot (if ur too near to the junction), dont ned to stop, unless pedestrian trying to cross (front-facing u, if back-facing u make sure they re halfway across) if i remember correctly this is the junction, the instructor say to anticipate the quick change from green arrow to amber to green.

[dineze]

Hi ahxian thanks for replying

 

For (4), say for example stop line at a straight road with no traffic light. You are bike 3, behind the instructor (stop in two rows). Bike 1 and 2 at the stop line, they will check back and go. Bike 3 and 4 will have to cover up to the stop line, stop again, safety check before moving off again right?

 

The exception is if this is a traffic light junction, subsequent bikers just check back, blindspot, and go, no need to stop at the stop line (like in cdc).

 

So many questions haa

[AhXian90]

hmmm......wow u got me confused back here:confused:. Ok from wad u trying to say, it seems to me that qn 4 & 5 is of the same qn." Whether u got to stop before the stop line(no traffic lights) or just go?", well as long as u see a white solid line, or stop sign; u gotta stop,move forward check traffic and checkback+ blindspot. It usually at T-junction only(small to major road), its just like back at cdc blind junction;turning out of cdc gate. I dun think there is a uncontrolled junction for goin straight,but i do not have much road experience yet to comfirm that haha.

 

Its ok larh, took me 3 try to get thru my thick skull, aleast u can memorised most of wad they brief on first try, even the instructor tell me u gotta go home do ut homework at my 2nd attempt,haha.

Hi. Has anyone tried to cancel revision class, whether thru online or via counter? Can it be done?

Cannot cancel revision.

I went for a CR this morning. The instructor during briefing said tp had complained that testees take such a long time moving off due to giving way to slow moving learner drivers. Hence we should judge the vehicle's speed & if we judge it safe, we just move off. As long as the vehicle has not reached the road arrow when we are at the blindwall junction we can move off.

 

I did something very similar during the end of 1 of my L5 attempts, wanting to turn into the bike nursery to park bike. The slow moving car had just turned into the left turning lane from the traffic light. I judged it safe & went in. The instructor in charge gave me IF for not giving way to vehicle with right of way.

 

So how to reconcile these 2 things? I dunno... but I think just maybe, better to err on the side of being slow. Better to get 2 pts for delay in moving off than get IF for not giving way.

[dineze]

Anyone riding 2b scrambler?

 

Going tristan with some friends this month, should be fun

[rijac]

@jbdoggy suck it up and do what makes sense to you. I had instructors give completely opposite instructions before. If in doubt ask the lead instructor. And follow his answer.

[dineze]

Just passed my prac 6. Some things to remember..

 

1) Remember to stop at all stop lines, and to cover up any space after the bike in front has moved off, just like the blind junction inside the circuit. Do not inch out over the stop line unless you cannot see traffic clearly (got walls blocking etc).

 

2) If there is a kerb or chevron marking beside you, check back opposite from the kerb before moving off. If it's a solid line, check back right as per normal. Don't ride over the chevron marking.

 

3) Remember to check left blindspot before exiting left filter lane (eg. zebra crossing with give way line). Don't check right left and then right again, instructors say cannot.

[lesterq]

Prac 3 try 2

 

Slope stall twice cause i released clutch too early..

 

Figure 8 timing not very consistent but mostly below 11 Sec

Crank course fell once due to eye line..

 

And i managed to pass. ?.?

 

Haha

 

Pointers i need to improve and maintain on by myself for prac 3

 

Left turn at slope stop line no inching out.

 

Release clutch at the end of slope up.

 

Signal left when on right of slope when moving off of slope check left.

 

 

Figure 8:

 

RAIN WILL NOT AFFECT TYRE GRIP. BRAKES WILL.

 

LEGS MUST GRIP TANK

 

MUST REMEMBER TO TURN OFF SIGNAL AFTER ENTERING FIGURE 8.

 

Eyeline MUST look far at where you are going.

 

Signal left after middle of figure 8.

 

Clutch in at tree. Freewheel out of figure 8 while braking.

2nd attempt?? Not bad! Youre picking things up quickly arent you?

 

Hill start: Its all abt timing your increase in throttle with the release of your rear brake. As soon as you rev your engine & achieve biting pt with your clutch ( engine sound changes), release your rear brake and increase your throttle at the same time. Make sure you fully release your clutch when you reach the top of your ramp (left hand gripping handlebars) Will get scolding if you dont! Fully released clutch with fingers outstretched is not counted as fully releasing your clutch.

 

Fig 8- Its all abt your eyeline. When you enter, you look at the 1st cone at the 1st right hand sector of the 1st loop. As you approach that 1st cone quickly turn your head back left & look at the 2 cones at the mid section of the 8. As you reach the 2nd loop, turn your head right & look at the exit as you steer. As you reach the exit, turn your head left & look at the stop line.

 

So what ive done is, once I enter I switch off signal & accelerate to the 1st cone (straight line), Turn head & look at the 2 cones mid section & kick 2nd gear at the same time & lean with the bike. Accelerate away to the 2nd loop, turn my head & look at exit, the bike will flick right. maintain the same speed through out. Abt mid 2nd loop turn on signal, as I get closer to exit, step rear brake, look at the stop line & swing the bike left upon exit. Apply both brakes & left foot down and stop. Sometimes I might give a quick stab to the rear brake before flicking or sometimes its just a very quick off-on throttle. Sometimes its constant throttle all the way with no rear brake. Constant throttle is key for good timings.

 

Needs lots of practice to be consistent. Aim for 8+ to 9+ sec type of timings. Once achieved, it helps a lot for those situations when sometimes you get stuck in N, You will lose 1-2 secs to get bk into gear & then youre able to really chiong away & still make a 10.9 at the end of it. Once confident, you will find you can still open a bit more throttle while leaning in 2nd loop. Ive heard of people doing less than 8sec. F8 is quite an adrenaline rush when you get it right!

 

Crank - Aim towards the right kerb at the entrance, accelerate & move towards a bit left of centre of the course. Change 2nd gear after you cross the line, quick stab of the rear brake & swing right. Let the momentum of the bike carry you out. Tap rear brake if needed to swing left. Remember to keep an eye on traffic coming from your right.

 

Practice practice practice! All the best!
