question on pract 1

last SG · 2006-12-26T00:44:26+00:00

practical revision is for u to try out the circuit by youself. u can play at any course or go round and round and no one will supervise u..think something li...

Rockhound SG

hmm kinda frust over pract 1....

hmm...

did it at cdc ubi..

i can find biting point....can brake(although sometimes accidentally jam break)...can change gear easily..

hmm..was wondering...

wats the whole point of the mini circuit anyways...?

instructor want trainee to travel on 3rd gear...okla...no prob with that....then the circuit gets congested with other bikes.....instinct tells me to slow down...but on third gear if slow down....alot of vibration...sometimes stall...then when wanna change to lower gear...instructor make noise...say dun play with gear....wats the whole purpose of pract 1 anywaes?

R3SsH|n SG

when your bike going to stall...pull in your clutch...this way you will never stall...
but remember...the only time you should clutch in is when u change gear...

in the circuit...maintain 3rd gear...just that keep trottling on and off...so that you can move and at the same time and don't allow your engine to stall...

Rockhound SG

my fren who was at the same pract as me used the clutch method to adapt to the circuit condition but in the end kana scold........i understand can throttle on and off but then engine would vibrate..at worse stall

...the 'traffic' at the circuit was very 'uneven'....some trainees jerking....they move ok at first..then suddenly slow down...then the way i reacted was to slow down if not i would hit them...wanna overtake also the traffic doesnt permit....then wanna change to gear two...instructor scold...ugh....confused over the whole pract.....

so how???

R3SsH|n SG

it the person infont of you stops or jerk...just slow down and maintain balance on your bike...use engine brake...
another method could be when moving off and going into the first turn, try to speed up alittle...till about 20kmph...this way u will have some lead way while slowing down and prevent engine from stalling...

the idea of pract 1 is to make sure you know when to throttle up and throttle down...controlling your bike at the same time and also react to those infront of you...

the instructors will know when to ask u to move off so that the traffic in the nusery wouldn't be so congested la..

try my luck again arh...pract 1 again next fri

Andrew_teo86 SG

I got stuck at prac 1 the third time.. But no choice basic foundation have to be there or else i’ll get stuck more if they let me go.

Blahhh SG

Mini-circuit need to be in gear 3 meh? I understand that one need to be in gear 2 after moving off, but I dun remember shifting to gear 3. Anyhoo, if the circuit gets too congested, dun shift to gear 3. Moving slowly on gear 2 is as good as gear 1, hardly able to stall.

U always need to use ur own intiative.. dun always follow by the book. Later when u get out of the circuit to practice hi/lo stopping, the intructor will tell u to stop from the 4th gear. Dun be surprised if traffic condition only allows you to ride at 2nd gear only! So just stop in 2nd gear and pretend to keep kicking the gear down lor.

Ai ya engine stall no scare la... got electric starter juz clutch in and start and pretend that nothing happen lol...

I did mine at bbdc, instructors all won't scold de leh... or maybe the instructor merely raised his voice then u think he is scolding... must understand la the engine all peehhh peehhhhh... he must use shout de ma somemore u wear helmet...

It takes some time to learn how to ride de la... juz explore more with the bike when u are learning... making mistakes while learning is alritez, coz the purpose is to gain experience from all these mistakes that u do... riders cannot afford to make mistakes outside sia...

when the instructors raise their voice at you,take it they have your interest at heart. if you don't master the safety techniques in the circuit, how would u survive on real road conditions?

if you are a teenager, take it as the instructors as your seniors, they can raise their voice at you but no hard feelings.

if you fail the pract, don't keep dwelling on it. take it as the more you practice, the better u will get.

wooot…off to pract 2….finally…..the group-mechanics today was great…woooot….

kokzter SG

rofl.. more to come brudder..... anyway its common to fail a few times at pract 1 n 2... tat time i met a gal, she took prat 1 8 times, n pract 2 , better 4 times..

untill u realli master it, if not , let u pass pract, u suffer behind man, i tell u..

Rockhound SG

pract 2 on sun…..any tips????

kopiosatu SG

pract 1 is for people who can't balance on the bike, dunno how to clutch in, dunno how to stop.

if u can do that then you will move on to pract 2.

Rockhound SG

any tips here?...or issit more on decision making sorta practical

kopiosatu SG

what decision do u want to make? Laughing

check your booklet and tell us what the lesson is for pract 2.

lets say turning left here

rider 1 being the first rider would check left and right before moving off to get his bike over the dotted line and stopping to check the incoming traffic....does he need to check left again b4 completing the turn?

then rider 2 would check right...and move over the dotted line and stop to check traffic....then he would check left then make the turn?

could someone somehow simplify this for me?

rider 1 need to check back then check his blindspot which is left then complete the turn.. Remember to signal early before reaching the dotted line..

rider 2 need to check left becoz that is his blindspot.. So once he move over to the dotted line, if there's no traffic, he will check back, then check his blindspot then complete the turn like rider 1..
