SC Riding Test Tips??? : Yamaha R6 Forum: R6MessageNet : YZF-R6 Forums

I went to practice for my riding test yesterday and realized that I couldn't even make it through the first part (serpentine).

Does anyone have a list of what is involved in the SC (or other states for that matter) riding skills test.

Also, any tips on making the switchbacks that are required to do the serpentine S curves they have you do? The only way I could get close to doing them was keeping the clutch a little in and reving the bike up. I couldn't keep enough throttle control with how twitchy the R6 throttle is without using the the clutch. Is that the way to do it or am I way off base? Even doing that I couldn't make but 1 or two of the wide curves.

I took the MSF a while back (on a 125 cruiser... much easier) and still had problems with it. Now the R6 is a completely different animal.

Thanks!
Andy

Clutch up a wheelie and do the tests on one wheel. It is much easier that way.
