M42 posted:My msf bike in CA was the shittiest poo poo that ever shittily shitted. Mine was a destroyed Ninja EX250 with a really touchy throttle. I still managed to be third in the class behind 2 tw200s. If you get a choice in the class go for the tw200, a nighthawk, or a rebels. It will make your test a lot easier. I thought the ninja was just like that until I checked my classmates EX250's throttle and found out his was completely normal.

It comes with practice. When I first got my bike I had the hardest time getting into neutral. I then had more of a hard time getting it from neutral into first. You'll learn the tricks like gently bringing your foot up till you feel the click as opposed to when you shift into 2nd and just slam up into it.

You will more than likely get your bearings easier and be able to pass the final test with ease on a dual sport. I finished 3rd in my class out of 8 people, but the two ahead of me were both on dual sport bikes. They had a much easier time with the box than I did on a Ninja 250. Also the heads up thing is easy to remember... Look down, go down. Just repeat that to yourself. I still find myself saying that sometimes if I catch myself staring down too long. Also ask your instructor if you can try another bike at the end of the class today. He or she will more than likely let you give it a lap around the track
