class 2a?

i've just passed my class 2a! tips to passing doesnt change from class 2b but here's some to document:

1. the super 4 is much heavier. you will definitely wobble.
   practise your moving off and stopping smoothly.
2. 4 cylinders, 400cc = a lot of power.
   go easy on the throttle. remember you will get penalized if you dont throttle enough (poor acceleration).
   
   also, ease out the clutch the gear smoothly for smooth gear changing - or else the revs will jump.
   
3. short range lane change
   cant say much about this - look ahead, plan ahead, smooth and less abrupt moments = less wobble.
   
   
4. s course / crank course:
   bike is again heavier, and has much power.
   throttle control and dare to lean with the bike!
   
   dont go too fast though, you need to stop in time if there is traffic outside the s course and make a perfect turn out into the crank course.
   
5. narrow plank / pylon slalom:
   riding position on s4 is slightly swept back than cb125.
   this means you look forward horizontally, not hold your head upright.
   
   also, loosen the arms (dont lock the elbows) for easier low speed steering control.
   for slalom, it may help if you countersteer at the cone (i.e. turn at each cone early!)
   
6. e-brake - stop after speed at 40km/h
   braking power of a larger cc bike is incredible.
   this means you will lock the front wheel even more easily.
   
   look forward, lock your arms when you brake, and squeeze the front brake lever with your finger tips. too much force on the brake levers will lock your wheels - and you definitely will skid.
   
   also note that on rainier weather its more difficult to pick up to speed.
   avoid over-revving. you will have less traction to play with and also you will not be able to stop in time.
   
   there is no need to open vtec. seriously.
   
7. bumpy coursethis is new - series of 9 kerbs, clear with more than 6 seconds.
   key is to keep the going straight, stable, kerb after kerb
   
   half standing posture - keep the weight of your body on the fuel tank by gripping the tank. it does help to avoid sticking out yr ass.
   
   go in slow - too fast and you will be skipping through the kerbs too fast.
   
   every bump power - if you are already going slow, you need power to go over each kerb. throttle and half clutch control. personally to maintain at half clutch control, my left pinky is gripping the left handle grip to prevent complete clutch in.
   
   treat it like narrow plank: so look up - and you will go straight, not go out of course or fall.
   
8. slopenothing to say here - but remember to avoid clutching in after the going over the peak of the slope! let engine braking do your slow speed control!
   
9. blind wall / blind corner
   this is new as well.
   
   stop before stop line; check traffic from left, check blind spot; inch out a bit, check traffic behind blind wall, then make decision to turn.
   
   also, beware of L plate drivers learning to // park.
   
10. last but not least, be smooth. and ride like you are really riding a larger cc bike and can handle the power of the bike.
    
    they like to penalize on poor acceleration - underrev, overrev, or overzealous opening of vtec.
    THROTTLE CONTROL IS YOUR BUDDY.
