Also helped at lot , anyway went back yesterday and sailed through in part thanks to this video....cheers Spicy 👌

CBT is training. Nobody can fail that.You get the certificate to confirm you attended. Not what skills you have. If you were were not issued your certificate for attending a full days training, you were scammed. Only reason they can refuse to issue certificate would be if you were a danger or were not legally allowed to ride. no license or banned, if using own bike not legal because of tax, mot or insurance. PLEASE reveal the training school you attended /scammed by. TRAINING IS NOT A TEST.

@@spicy110 really? CBT is not a test. it's training. If somebody should declare "i failed my CBT" you should check if they were scammed. it seems quite prevalent that new riders believe they can fail. theres o test. theres questions, but if they answer wrong, they should be trained in the answer. they can't fail. there should be no re-dos or extra fees. Help keep scams away. Bi-annual CBT "RENEWAL" itself is already a scam.

@@Palmit_ CBT is not an attendance course. After instruction/coaching/mentoring by the trainer, the trainee has to demonstrate a level of competence. They cannot move on until they do. If they need to come back to complete then additional charges may apply, there isn't a fixed fee.
You're so genuine. Keep up the hard work bro.
Why aren't you a motorcycle instructor? That's one of the clearest explanation of how you do that I've seen. When i learnt we went to do U-turns first, all failed miserably, then he took us back and got us to do figure 8 riding till we were doing really tight ones, then we all went and aced the U-turns. Great vid, keep up the good work! :)

WTF!!!! I've been nervous about my mod 1 and the slow control stuff, now this has actually filled me with confidence!! So well explained, thank you and subscribed!!!
Instructions unclear, car won't start
Been watching your vids for a while , just picked up my CBT today. Thanks for all you properly informative content.
I passed my bike test over a year ago but this video would of been really helpful at the time but I am pleased this video is available to help newbie bikers pass,. good job
Incredibly helpful Spicy! Thank you. I have my theory test booked for a couple weeks time, really excited. thanks again brother! congrats on the subs also. I love the effort you put into your videos!
Super helpful video - I just finished my first class in Singapore and your instructions helped me understand better the WHY (not just the ‘what’) of things we learnt. 🙏🏻
Literally needed this! I've been on a scooter for 7 years now and last week I finally had a go on a 125 Kawasaki Eliminator that I'm buying and I stalled a LOT! I knew switching from twist and go to gears would be a challenge, but your videos have helped so much, and that's not just the educational ones like these! You're an inspiration spicy! I'm buying the bike tomorrow! Thanks again!
Great and very educational video.What I would like to add is that keeping higher revs on a half of clutch will make you more stable due to gyroscopic effect that the engine gives you. At normal speeds this comes mainly from the wheels, but in slow moving traffic it got to come from the engine.
How the hell did I miss this video a few days ago!? Just failed my A licence today cause of the figure 8. I can do the counterclockwise turn no problem, but clockwise is bugging me a lot. Watched a ton of videos and this one certainly has most usable and clear information and suggestions. Well, 3-4 weeks I can try again, too bad I cannot practice too much before then.
This is a great inspirational/motivational video for new and old riders. Me and my friends will be having a slow race on a quiet car park as we've not done that. Practice for mod 1 can be fun and I think you covered everything and explained it well. Even now I still play on quiet carparks to kill boredom going in/out of imaginary comes and u turns etc. Once again thank you
Another amazingly helpful video. Thanks for taking the time for that
Really helpful video mate and congrats on 60K subs!

Thanks dude. Really helpful. Did my CBT yesterday and got this just fine on the pad but struggled a bit on the road ride when there was more to think about.
Watching this gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside that I had before I took my CBT having never ridden before. The excitement of what’s possible ... unfortunately I’d fallen out of riding and my CBT expired on Saturday but I’m getting paid tonight and I’m gonna book my theory at lunch tonight then my second CBT tomorrow morning and hopefully I’ll get myself my A2 in no time absolutely buzzing
Possibly one of the most helpful vids I have seen. Thanks Spicy.

By far one of the best videos for control tips
Great video mate! I used to be an instructor back in the part 1 & 2 test days and this is exactly the way we used to teach. I still do it myself occasionally for practice. I'll be trying the full lock slow challenge soon... should be fun on a Versys 1000!
Excellent timing! It's almost like you knew I just failed my MSF course because I was having issues with this very thing lol! Thanks Spicy!
thanks a lot sir... finally got one best way to practice my slow bike control as i am the worst at it as most of the time i end up switching off the engine.... that's very helpful
As someone who wants to get into riding thanks for the tips. Subbed 👍
I'm in love with your video's, very easy to follow and understand for noobs (like myself), can't wait to do my CBT and ride off on my new bike if all goes well xD
Had my first bike lesson last Sunday. Dropped the bike within the first 5 minutes. It was great! XD
Just what I needed since I Started earlier this year, I always I stall then I tried doing the same thing what you did before watching this. This upcoming weekend I'm gonna ask the instructors to use their Dual Sport. Thanks Spicy. Support from 'Murica! 👊🏽
I really wish I had watched this video before I took my motorcycle endorsement test. I passed but barely and the tips and tricks shown here would have been immensely helpful.
Incredibly useful. I have viewed many YT vid's on Mod 1 U-Turns & slow speed control . This video is superb. Some instructors possibly less keen than others to train such techniques for Mod etc. The techniques shown here, (plus counter balancing), arguably preferable when used safely & well. Thank you. (DAS soon here).
This has got me excited, got my cbt on the 17th, had me laughing at the end
Useful info. Did my CBT on a 125 2 weeks ago and I have my Mod 1 in 2 weeks with just 2 days riding on a 650 in between
Very helpful! Looking forward to try that out on my next lesson 🙌
I did my cbt yesterday! I wasn't too good at the slow control part of my CBT although I was given my certificate this has definitely helped me with controlling my bike at slower speed. Mainly so I don't take junctions too wide!
Thanks to your video you inspired me to go from never sitting on a bike to passing my mod 2 within a year thank you.

With a 600cc enduro from the 80's.... Damn, that is a challenge :O
Excellent instruction,and also entertaining..The Helmet and bike are cool...
Big help man thanks. Cbt coming up haven't ridden in a bit.
Ugh I'll have to do all of this again for the A category. In the school I was with the 125s were from like the 80s no electric start, the clutch felt like on or off switch and you had to rev the shit out of it to do anything so slow control was hell. On the big bikes slow control was a piece of cake.
I’m from Australia and I’ve watched this video so many times I love it. I have my learners as of 2 months ago (you have to hold them for 3 months here and do the restricted riding course for a Provisional licence). I’m practicing so much controlled slow rides and getting so confident; but tomorrow I tackle figure 8! Thank you for your awesome video!

Harry Atkinson bud, seriously, get good at slow control on the RS4 and it'll be a doddle on any bike they put you on for the test - nothing has a wider turning circle or more unfriendly ergonomics for slow speed control than our little race rep 125s. I've been getting as good as I can on my R125 ready to redo my Mod1&2 for my A2 licence upgrade.
That helped me alot! Gna practice lots now :) p.s when you said you just passed really fast that cracked me up haha
The game element is worth a go, I keep going out into roads on the way back from work to try u turns but never get it and they've just got worse. It clicked watching this, I'm basically teaching myself u turns are difficult when I should spend a few hours on my day off after a nights rest and play make the circle, figure 8 smaller
I think you explain how to do things the clearest out of all the videos i've seen on youtube. I'm doing my DAS soon and your vids are going to help me immensely. Cheers!

Cheers Spicy I'll be trying these, I already do the balancing at the lights sometimes. But never thought about the riding circles that get smaller ect. The only worry I have is going from being able to control the weight of a 125 to 500-650cc bike,when in motion I've been told you don't notice it but the low speed stuff worries me that I'll end up not being strong enough and dropping it.
Excellent video Spicy, very simple and concise... I hope this is a HUGE hit for you! P.S. i received my new T-Shirt the other day, great quality, fits a treat, and I wore it to my local pub and got asked loads about it :-)

Amazing, thank you!
great video mate, the clutch segment was probably one of the best i've seen... i also enjoyed your game training too. a few times every season i go to my fav parking lot and dick around with slow speed maneuvers for an hour or so, it relaxes me :} one thing i would add to slow speed turning is that the body position on the bike can help a lot. counterbalancing the bike's lean with the body's weight can make the turning radius even smaller.. be safe, have fun!
thanks for your guidance. Passed my mod 1 yesterday .

GREAT VIDEO. Slow control is a HUGE part of riding. To me is easy to go on the high way and do 140-160MPH but it was the slow driving that really test my skills. PRO TIP: *** when doing this exercises make sure to ride normal or rest the clutch for a bit since slow riding put lots of pressure/wear into it.***
Nice video! Where I’m from you fail the test if you constant hold rear brake while going slow. Puts stress on the bike. Only use when needed they say. Forces you to be more precise with gas/clutch.
Thanks for a properly helpful video mate 😊

Thanks for the video Spicy110. When do you recommend somebody takes their Mod1? I've only riding for a couple of weeks on a 125, and I'm finding I'm picking things up very quickly. I'm cautiously confident that I could pass already. Also, does it make much of a difference on a bigger bike, as up until now 125 is the highest I've ridden. Thanks :)
brilliant video mate!
Great tips, thanks a lot! I'm currently doing my motorcycle license and failed my first exam because of exactly what you described. Panicked during the figure 8 and put my foot down. Ironically, when I was practicing this the day before, I did it at least 20 times without error. I guess my nerves made me stupid.
