REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
Directions
For this exercise, do NOT use any
throttle. You will be controlling your
movement using only the clutch in the
friction zone and brake.
Begin by stopping every 6 m (20 feet)
(every marker/every second line).
– Start the engine and release the
parking brake.
– With the brake pedal depressed and
the clutch lever pulled in, shift the
transmission into first gear by firmly
pushing down on the shift lever.
– Release the foot brake.
– Slowly let out the clutch lever until
the vehicle starts to creep forward.
Hold the clutch lever at this point.
This is the friction zone. If you re-
lease the clutch too quickly, the en-
gine may stall or the vehicle may
jump forward. If the vehicle stalls,
restart the engine and try again, re-
leasing the clutch more gradually.
– As you approach the stopping point,
pull the clutch lever all the way in
and press the brake pedal to stop.
Pulling the clutch in does not have
to be gradual – you can do this quick-
ly.
– When you reach the end of the
straightaway, stop, turn the han-
dlebar all the way to the right, and
turn around. Be careful not to roll
the throttle as you turn. Stop when
you are in line with the straightaway
in the opposite direction.
– Repeat this exercise until you feel
comfortable.
Tips for additional practice
– As you become more comfortable
with the friction zone, try stopping
every 12 m (40 ft) (every other cone)
so that you can fully release the
clutch.
3) Engine Stop while in Motion
Purpose
– Become familiar with using the en-
gine stop switch when in motion so
you know how the vehicle will react
if you need to use it later.
Directions
– Partway down the straightaway,
while operating in the friction zone,
turn the engine stop switch to OFF
and coast to a stop.
– Restart the engine and repeat the
exercise. Try releasing the clutch
farther and moving a little faster be-
fore using the engine stop switch.
– Restart the engine and proceed to
the next exercise.
