No problems mate. All I did in preparation for the theory was to spend about 60 minutes per day practising the test questions with the DSA Theory training dvd. Just the hazard perception that could be the sticking point. I feel that the Hazard is a bit of a waste of time really.

Excellent. Big thanks for the help. Got the bike ready to go at home, killing me not being able to ride it

Sorry mate, havent been clear enough lol 21 hours would be for Mod1 and Mod2 Passed £90 Is for Mode 1 + Mod 2 (£15 for mod 1, £75 for mod 2) Okay, as long as it sounds good, then im happy

Ahh I see. Been on the road with the car for 5 years myself. Just checking i wasnt being screwed over

So in total, after your CBT you had 5 hours of lessons and you passed your MOD 2? Is this enough? The guy at the driving school wants me to do a full day on saturday (7 hours) then another 2 days of that. So will be looking at 21 hours of training. (140 per day so £420) plus test fees (£90) so total is looking around the £510! This sound right?

So, CBT and Theory are now completed. I want to go on to do my Mod 1. What is the best way to do this? The test centre I spoke to have told me to come back and do another days practice starting on the 125 to get the drills required for MOD1 on a 125 then the same on a 500. Does this sound right? It will be £140 for the day (9-4) When should i be looking to book my Mod 1 for? How many hours training is needed for this? Regards

FRIG-ING-HELL I was underthe impression that the mike was without choke, will check it later on when im home from work. Thar battery has dropped to 12 volts now, Does this mean its on the way out? EDIT . Was The Choke!!!! Thanks for the input guys,

Ahh really? What do I need to solve this then mate? Update: Okay So placed the battery on charge yesterday (removed from the bike so nothing is drawing from it) and last night removed it once fully charged. Here are the readings from the voltimeter Saturday 8pm 13.5v (Soon as I took it off charge) 8.15pm 13.3v 8.30pm 13 v 11:30pm 12.77v Sunday Morning 7:30am 12.3v To clarify, When using electric start after leaving overnight, it turns over with limited power, if I turn the throttle it dies, however if i keep hold of the electric start it will eventually run on its own, and i can then rev the engine freely

No if I apply throttle it will cut out quicker :/

Nope. 97 hmmm I wonder then. Wen it fires up, it loses power after about 5 seconds, unless I keep hold of the start button for like a,minute. :/ alternator regulator?

Its fuel injected so no choke :/

Okay so only had this bike a few days (First one) and after leaving the bike over night it has a trouble starting in the morning! I have to keep the electric start on for ages before it fires, then after this it's fine and starts up throughout the day then. Untill I leave it overnight again and it's the same issue again. Bike Details Make : SUZUKI Model : GSX-R600 SRAD Year : 1997 I have removed the battery and placed it on charge overnight. It is receiving a charge. So What I intend to do is take it off charge in the morning, go to work, and try the battery in the bike tomorrow when I return from work. If the bike starts I then know it's not an issue with the battery, is this right?

CBT COMPLETION : July 2012 COMPANY : Greenlight rider Training - Preston, Lancashire At the start of my CBT I felt overwhelmed about the process of so much happening in such a small amount of time. Clutch, Gears, Front and Rear Brakes etc. Really does take concentration in the early stages. Started off with a talk on what kit we should use, why, Rules of the road, insurance, and other relevant information (Took around 30-45 minutes). This section was EXTREMELY thorough, detailing different types of materials used in helmets, which I found extremely helpful. ext was time for the Bike inspection. Here we went through basic features of the bike (Headlight, brakes, forks, chains, oil, clutch, etc) and daily, weekly monthly, yearly checks and maintenance. 15 Minutes Next was time for getting on the machines and testing the controls, but first, getting the thing off and onto the centre stand and then the side stand. From here routines really. Learnt the controls moving off, front braking, driving around cones, figure 8's, junction turning, gears, u turns, emergency stops etc. Around 2pm was time to hit the road. In pairs, with 1 instructor. we went out onto the country roads, did hill starts, dual carriageways, town traffic, and more U turns, emergency stops and junctions on the street. When we got back, we received a de-brief on possible ares of improvements for future riding, and issued our certificates All in all, i see this course as a valuable part of gaining your license. Cant wait to get though my DAS
