thanks!yea in bby....i have an exhaust on my 250...would that matter?

Klobbersaurus 03-12-2013 12:32 AM

nope but make sure your lights work, and that its road worthy and practice, when i did it, they took me to the hwy and then sprott exit then up to hastings, down boundary and back to the center

SoNaRWaVe 03-12-2013 01:17 AM

And remember to practice your u-turn. Stalling is also no bueno on the test and your feet should never touch the road unless you are coming to a stop or stopped. Also don't use your feet to push the bike forward when you accelerate.

One foot down when stopped, the other should be on the rear brake.

gdoh 03-12-2013 06:51 AM

remember to turn off you turn signal and school zones check the signs

604STIG 03-12-2013 10:10 AM

When you come to a stop and accidentally put both feet down (it happens), lift up your left foot and start pressing down on the shifter to make sure you are in first gear. You won't get hit with any points for having both feet down.

z3german 03-12-2013 07:36 PM

dont put your bike in N for stop lights and stop signs.

SHOULDER CHECK, BETWEEN ALL LANE POSITIONS SHOULDER CHECK FOR EVERY CHANGE.

Its idiotic IMO because if you are in the left lane and the safest theoretical position. For you to turn on to a dedicated left turn lane and then turn left you literally have to shake your head harlem shake style, which personally I find way more fucking dangerous.

I was lucky, the guy said he knew I can ride so he will pass me, but for the times I didnt shoulder check between lane positions he could fail me.

?NR 03-12-2013 08:17 PM

^as z3german said, shoulder checks are very important. Rule of thumb is, for every lane position change, lane change. stop, go. You shoulder check BEFORE moving an inch.

show confidence in riding, and the key is to show that you are observant of your surroundings. Make a habit to scan around whenever possible, and make it known (to the examiner) at the critical points, you ARE paying attention ie . intersections.

and, well.. relax. Pretend they are not behind you. Don't worry about getting the license on the first try, it would be nice but don't stress out over that. Just do the best you can and ride the best and safest you can.

Remember, relax, observe, ride safe with confidence. Should be a shoo in. Good luck! :)

z3german 03-12-2013 08:25 PM

Tape some reflective tape on the back of your helmet right in the center. Gives the examiner a more distinct visual cue if you are moving your head and stuff.

skyline32 03-13-2013 12:26 AM

im going in for my learners knowledge motorcycle test hopefully by the end of this week, and after taking my mst hopefully asap ! :D
btw does anyone know if you can have retakes for the mst? incase you dont pass the first go?

SoNaRWaVe 03-13-2013 01:31 AM

You sure can. You just need to wait for a free slot again and pay again
