i did my test in Bedford. Examiner got lost going through renhold and the little country roads out that way. easiest test ever lol. congrats mate

I nearly had the same when i first got the bike. Forgot that garages normally only put enough fuel in the tank to get to the closest fuel pumps. Theres me chugging down the A1 when the light comes on. Thank god for google maps om phone id have been stranded in some random country village. Found a small petrol station. That was an experience for my first time on a 600

Thanks for the replies. No reserve switch.

Does anyone know how much fuel i have left when the petrol light comes on. Not sure why suzuki didnt put a fuel guage on the bike its a bit of a gamble guessing how much i have left in the tank. When it first comes on how many miles roughly do i have left when riding conservstively.

I did my test on a r125 and got that round the mod 1. U can pick a second hand one quite cheap. I know have a restricted gsxr 600 so it can be done, good luck

Good luck to you all today!!

Congrats m8

How did u get on??

The examiner who tested me on my mod1 for which i failed by locking my back brake, told me not to use it and that the front would do the job. Im sure you will be fine mate.

Congrats mate, test isnt that bad really just nerves make it seem impossible.

Same as for your mod 1 1) obs 2) treat the examiner as a sat nav. 3) ride in the speed limit 4) accerate up to the speed limit when safe to do so 5) pass test 6) buy bike

They stop you after every bit and tell you what to do next. Advice: 1) obs 2) keep feet off floor during most exercises. apart from the first exercise 3)take your time and make sure you hit the speeds required. 4) more obs 5) dint hit the cones

The richard sainsbury building, Daedalus, PO13 9YA is its address, best bet is to put this into multimap.com and print that off. Lee isnt that big a place if you can get onto the road that runs along the sea front, you should have no problems. Good luck

Sorry to hear that mate keep trying tho

If you pass module 1 but then fail to pass module two before your theory test cert expires then you have to redo mod 1 again.

I did the same thing as you, no lessons and found the test simple to be fair. I have been driving for years tho so that helped and riding for 2 yrs. The examiner is lookong for safety on the road, positioning and observations. As well as following the law. He followed behind me and tried to get up on the inside of me at turnings to see if i noticed etc. But mostly it was a nice 45min ride around with directions like a sat nav. I was flippin Nervous tho wont deny that

Do u have to redo your mod 1 if your cbt runs out ??? Or if you retake your cbt you still get the two years?

need to do theory test first. Then get some practice in. I passed my tests without any lessons just day to day riding through town. To practice the mod 1 stuff I went to a quiet car park at the weekend and just tried wheeling my bike between bays, U-turn between two bays and then practice emergency stop at a slowish speed.

Thats why i took the restricted route so i could get comfortable at a lower Bhp before having the full 600cc bhp without having to buy a new bike. Think for me that was the right decision.

Good luck today mate enjoy!!!

there are quite a few good vids on youtube if you search on there for a bit. The DVD u mentioned is the only one I have heard ever being mentioned

dont give them the chance to use any of them to fail you if you can. If you think you have made a lifesaver do another quick one even if its a quick glance do it. Leaving your indicators on starts off as a minor and then progresses up the seriousness the longer its left on - if you hear the examiner say "Indicators" then you can probabaly bet you may fail but as some others have said on here, they have had examiner shouting at them down the mic only to find out at the end of the test they got 2 minors and passed. You may find the examiner realises your nervous so tells you off so you think F**** it ive failed and thats when you seemingly drive faultless. and the looking over the shoulders i thought were your lifesavers so again do them. Just make it a force of habit. hope this helps

Make all the necessary observations when pulling off, lifesavers are crucial. If you have a bike to practice on get down to a quiet car park and practice turning in a road and wheeling your bike etc

When I did it on my 125 I could tell when I was at a good enough speed due to the high pitched engine noise lol. Maybe try and listen for a certain engine noise at that speed that you can refer too, as I said above my 125 had a very distinct noise in 3rd gear that I could use to know what speed I was at. Just be in a low enough gear coming out of the corner that can pick up speed quickly to high a gear and you will struggle to get up to speed.

i know im already thinking that LOL. But i use my 125 everyday for my journey to the train station which is a 6 mile ride through town. A tank of petrol lasts me a month. So for cost saving its amazing and free to park at the station. I have already started looking at daytona 675's lol and thinking about having the restrictor fitted. I did the A2 licence as I felt confident on my R125 and sorta knew id be ok on the test with it. It was bliss taking my L plates of my bike. Im sure the two years will go quickly tho and if not I could buy a bigger bike and have it restricted.
