[AhXian90]

Hi, I'm using a grey agv AX8 d-e full face. You?

 

Yo any recomendation for helmets lol, 200-300 FF ? still using my learner de sia lol

[AhXian90]

Isn't it always wet? The instructors usually make it a point to walk over and turn the water on.

 

Usually they do, but I always kena dry ground~, lol the water dried off when i m doing ebrake.

[AhXian90]

Btw, does anyone know where I can get the P plate stickers?

wah thread quite happening lei. I beri long nvr visit forum, jiayou to all bro and sis for your 2b journey:goodluck:, do missed the 2b learning days riding round ubi haha.

 

Ebrake- hmm i only remember this, Fingers braking not knuckle braking~

[hushpuppy]

Ebrake under upgrading works, start line pulled back towards road shoulder area. After ebrake move off, there is a stop line. Signal left check safe and turn out.

My AGV Ax8 dual evo is within that price range. Bought at regina. Can remove the peak for sportbike riders. Motoworld got a number of full face hjc(?) in that range also when i went with jbdoggy

Hello!!!

 

I am new here.

 

i have been reading the thread for tips for my 2B lessons. So far it had gotten me till lesson 5 already. Thanks:)

I have some questions before i go and book my lesson 5. May i know like how do you all go about to tackle lesson 5? lik do you have many circuit revisions? or u jus go down hav one circuit revision just before lesson 5?

 

Then what are some of the tips or things to take note during lesson 5? haha i understand from the instructor that lesson 5 is all on your own and got to memorize the route. any errors will incur demerit points, like never check blind spots and stuffs.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey Milo,

 

Depends on how comfortable you are with the circuit. I personally did 2 revisions then did my lesson 5. Book a couple of lesson 5 slots. For me, lesson 5 and 8 were eye openers - because here the instructors point out your errors to you (by dishing out demerit points of course..)

 

During circuit revision, it is normal to place emphasis on courses that you are weak on - but once in a while, try to do the whole circuit from slope to ebrake.

 

Good luck!!

Hi to all CDC Riding Kakis;

I went 2B lesson 2 just the other day. After the lengthy briefing by the instructor, only left few bikes with mirrors type. Mine cannot start and instructor asked me park the bike along side one row of problems bikes. I took a glance, quite a lot, about 12 to 15 of them. Somehow I grabbed another bike, don't know 'SUAY' or what, this bike no free play on the clutch, it's like ON/OFF switch, either engaged or not engaged. Imagine the level, press 5mm from the furthermost-in to disengage. Absolutely ZERO free play. Very hard to control with your fingers wide open. I told the instructor about the clutch problem during another briefing break on the subject of right loop. Without doubting, he say change bike again but to my dismay, all available bikes gone. So I am left with this either ON/OFF bike to toy with the rest of the lesson. At the end of the day, all of us failed..... Before I conclude that CDC has poorly maintenance of bikes, let me go for another few lessons first and tell you guys later. Anyone of you have similar problems and like what bikes to avoid. Advise appreciated. Thanks.

[Engel666]

Haha, I learn from mistakes. Before choosing the bike I usually check the clutch , brakes( standard stuff) and that the starter switch works! It's annoying when the engine dies while on the slope and have to kick start the bike....

[chriszzz]

My suggestion is to try ANY bike you get, even the shitty ones, because you may get a shitty bike on your test date. If you don't know how to handle a shitty bike, you will flunk the test. What's the point of riding only the good bikes if you flunk the test? Make sure you try a mixture of good and bad bikes.

 

I usually like to take a good bike to familiarize myself with the circuit/obstacle. Once I'm confident, I'll start trying lousy bikes as well. I don't go looking for a bad bike, but if I get one, I'll just stick with it for the whole session. They make the circuit harder, but it also improves your ability to handle a shitty bike should you get one during the test. The chance of getting a shitty bike is pretty high, so learn to deal with it.

Doesn't mean the starter switch works, the bike is in good condition. Dont be fooled ! haha everytime you finish revision, if you think the bike feels good and comfortable to you, save the number in your hp notes. It helps.

Yes but very limited.

I think for lesson better to try and use the best bike available you can get. Use shitty bike on revisions instead. That way at least you have higher chance on passing lessons and if revision shitty bike, you can just get the feel, take down the number in your hp notes followed by whatever wrong with the bike( eg. clutch problem, gear hard to kick up or such). Moral of the story, just dont be picky during revisions, picky in lessons is ok.

 

To chris, I've been using my favourite number bike during my prac 5 and 8 tho. thats because I can at least choose the bike. (go revision before prac 5 & 8 park the bike somewhere deep deep then choose the bike on actual test.

 

Now i fear for my tp. lol

[hushpuppy]

Thanks bro

Well Said, zidrhan. Failing the lessons is very demoralizing to say the least, from looking at learners face and that of mine too when we collect the learner's booklet from the instructor. A good bike is a world of different. The least you want is failing the lessons because of poorly maintained bikes. We are supposed the learn the techniques of riding the bikes but instead spent the money and time away from learning the art. Much as they expected us to be good and safe riders, so we can expect them to provide quality maintained bikes for us to learn with. Anyway, $28+ odds of dollars for 100 mins, considering the jams and blockages in CDC, isn't cheap. I just managed to turn about 4 loops on the slope and about 3 loops on the figure 8 for 100 mins and that's about it, lesson end. To help CDC to improved, I always took the time to provide feedback to them via email through their website. Between their management and the instructors, I think the instructors were agree with me. I think the management is about "money".

 

Well, this time round, listening to Engel666 advice, I check the clutch before I took the bike.... hahahahah. The clutch and control was good, command power on minute demand realized... HOWEVER... this time round going into the figure 8, just passing the yellow line, shifting to 2nd gear failed, it's not easy to get into 2nd gear, it went into neutral a feet into the figure 8. The figure 8 already demand a lot of brain juice and here comes the shitty gear problems. No need to say much.... you know the end results..... hit onto the kerb.... %^$(%*^%*

 

You wouldn't want this to happen to anyone on TP date.... hit the kerb and right leg down...

[dineze]

Throttle more then shift up. Could be hard to shift up because the clutch is sticky

[LunarSky]

ttkoh123, pick up more speed before you enter. Beginning maybe not so use to. Coz you need to off signal, change gear at same time and also ensure you in the right line of movement.

[ttkoh123]

Thanks dineze and LunarSky for advice, I will try to speed up before enter, on next lesson;

This sticky shifting problems, before I conclude the sticky maintenance problem to the machine, let me try a few more rounds first to eliminate myself from the equation example skill problems.... but always when the situation not crucial, I always managed to kick into 2nd gear..... but still, it a bit sticky lah....need WD40...

[jbdoggy]

Getting into neutral is an annoyance, but really it isnt that critical. During F8 theres still time to make up for it, & in crank youre just rolling out w/o any throttle, provided you made up good enough momentum in 1st gear during entry.

 

For F8 I like to get as many things out of the way so that I can fully focus on throttle control only. So I off signal the very moment I enter the 8. I Then accelerate hard to the 1st cone marker in the 1st loop & change to 2nd at that point. In the event I get neutral (you will find yourself over revving), I just quickly kick into 2nd at the beginning of the 'straight'. You can still achieve a 9.7 despite it.

 

But also be careful... some bikes gear can drop to N on its own from 2nd when slowing down. I nearly fell down at the crank when the gear suddenly dropped to N after i pressed rear brake to swing right. That caused rear tyre to slide out towards the kerbs. Fortunately didnt hit kerb or leg down....

 

Another bummer is getting gear jammed.

[ttkoh123]

Hi Guys;

I noticed that the instructors will always OVERLY announce the timing of the riders doing the figure 8, like 15 seconds.... They said = "You must do 11 seconds ha!!!"...etc... when actually I counted for others about 5 to 7 seconds only. I think they are just edging the learners to pick up speed and be braver is it??? Actually is not even figure of 8, look more like figure of 'S' so, shorter distance. I suppose the timing should be from the entry yellow line to the exit yellow line is it? Or beginning from the time you look back look blind spot to the time you stop.??

In actual TP Test, ONE TP sit so far away and the actual timing done by the instructor, I thinking.... aiyo must be nice to the instructors liao...

[dineze]

I think they start timing the moment your front wheel enters until your rear wheel leaves the fig 8. I think 9 seconds is already quite fast... highly unlikely a learner will reach 5s-7s.

[FTW.]

Counting high chance not accurate cos u need to count 1 thousand 1, 2 thousand 2. When I on plank, I count myself, 1,2,3,... , up to 10-11, on instructor's stopwatch is only around 8.

[hushpuppy]

Fellow learners, need some advice from u folks. The first right turn after coffee shop, if u r the 1st bike, moving off from stationary after red light, are u allowed to move to middle of the no marking "box" to wait ? Or are u supoose to just inch out from yr stop line abit?
