Tips For Taking the On Bike Riding Test

I'm planning on taking this on Sat. (3 days from now)

I've been practicing out in the street in front of my house for a couple of days.

The diagrams of the test can be seen here for those unfamiliar: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle- ... ycle-test/

I'm about 50% confident.

I worked on the right u-turn last night and learned real quick that its all about clutch control and accelerating to keep the bike upright when the turn gets tightest.

The cone weave I need to spend some more time with. I set up my testing area wrong. The cones weren't off of center. And they were only 10' apart. I wasnt doing very well. Hopefully having them 12' apart and 2' off center is in fact easier.... :sad:

For the swerve and quick stop tests I'm having trouble getting to the correct speed quick enough. And I worry about hitting the brakes too soon......

I did pass the written test last night though so thats 1 part down. :rawk:

Do any of you fellow GZ250 riders have any tips for these?
