@@ARTMCT thats type fails his mod1

Hi Marso, bike is a 2011 Kawasaki ER-6n 👍

@@ARTMCT Thanks for getting back to me. ✌🏽

Thank you for the kind words Imran! Ride safe and have fun 😎👍

We're always happy to see people are still enjoying it! There is a slightly nicer, newer one to watch though 😎

😎👍

Hi Iain, the only two time you stop with the "wheel in the box" (Blue cones) Firstly after the slow ride in a straight line, and second on the controlled stop after the first higher speed circuit ride. ALL other times (emergency stop & collision avoidance) you are stopping "in line" with the blue cones! No set distance! Thanks ART Team

@@ARTMCT thanks so much for your reply.

I failed the Mod 1 twice in 8 days. 1st time, I just clipped a cone on the swerve test. 2nd time, I dropped a foot down in the U-Turn!! Just passed it 2 weeks ago. The trick is: Believe you can do it, take a deep breath and relax before EVERY part of it!! If you're tense, it WILL go wrong!! Good luck dude!!!

@@garyhalsey7693 Passed it, just my MOD 2 now

@@garyhalsey7693 Great advice

I believe we use both metric and imperial in the UK currently. The test itself is designed in Metric, hence all the measurements being metres and Kph, so for example the U-Turn is 7.5 meters (24ft & 7in) space between Slalom cones 4.5 metres (14ft & 9in) 50 Kph = 31.07 Mph 49 Kph = 30.45 Mph 48 Kph = 29.83 Mph We hope this is this easier for you to understand now? Please remember WE do not make the law, UK government does that so if you would like it all changed to imperial measurements then please feel free to lobby them for it to be changed! In the meantime we will keep teaching with "new money" measurements as that is what is on the official D.V.S.A. test marking sheet (DL25) Regards ART MCT

the distance given for the stop is actually the controlled stop distance not the emergency stop distance. To be blunt that stop distance is more than enough even in the wet. It sucks that you failed and I know how you must feel but there is no allowance for the wet as the allowance is already there!

walking pace.

@@Jafmanz not exactly a fixed speed indication that is, in Belgium they ask 10 meter in 12 seconds. Which is way slower then a normal walking pace

@@stijnvandamme76 Learn to balance the bike at walking pace and the test is easy.

@@Jafmanz the test is slower then walkign pace here.

4 -5 mph. Throttle and clutch control are key in this part of the test!

Try to relax and keep calm, remember to breathe and don't grip the bars too hard. Good luck :)

did you pass??

did you pass

Yes

jammydodgerman I don’t want to keep doing my CBT year after year , would you say just do the Mod1 / 2 on a 125? I’m 30 and passed my theory as well. tried to do the Mod1 on a 600 but the instructor was WANK and would moan all the time as me and some other guy couldn’t get use to the speed trap so fucked him off! any advice or tips? awesome video 👍👍👍👍

jammydodgerman can I have a reply please?

jammydodgerman your a star you and thanks for all your advice and feedback. everyone keeps saying just do it on a 600 as it’s a lot easier than doing it on a 125. he just made me feel uncomfortable as I couldn’t get use to the speed. I was going to fast then it was too slow, was doing my head in!!! want this license more than anything in the world. Congratulations on passing your Mod1. did you find it ok? any minors mate? any tips?

My instructor told me to leave the motorbike in 2nd gear and get used to the sound of the engine when doing 50kph (31mph) during practice. That way, when it comes to the test you don't have to worry about looking at the speedometer. Is it just the speed trap maneuvers you were having trouble with? If youve got the other maneuvers figured out you're almost there!

agreed, i found i was more worried about mod 1 than mod 2, yet i aced mod 1 with 0 faults.

passed mod 1 and 2 wednesday, within 2 hrs, i went out on my blade. mod 1 was easy ..

I have my Mod 1 tomorrow as well, I'm fully confident on a bike and on my first lesson my instructor said I am test ready, but doing it on a 600 Bandit which isn't the lightest of bikes with a crap turning circle lol, one tiny error of judgement and it's a fail for the whole thing. Which I think is a bit daft if you show perfect bike control for the rest of it.

the key is to relax. best of luck.

Relax, follow the examiners directions ONE at a time & you will be fine. Good luck :)

Thank you :)
