Can’t stress how important it is to STAY CALM, like the man said. If you’re freaking out about each exercise and stiffening up, your riding is gonna suck. I passed by making myself chill out, and it’s not easy but you can do it. Any day of riding is a good day, remember? So have fun! :)

I just started riding on dirt bikes... once I got used to it I found I was able to keep my hands and arms a lot more loose instead of death gripping the bars.... it helped a lot.. went riding some trails yesterday, and it was some of the most fun I've had in my life.

I failed out of mine on the first range day in 1 1/2 hours...couldn't find Neutral, couldn't feel the friction zone, nearly dumped the bike on the ground twice, goggles fogged up to where I couldn't see, and by the time the break between exercises came around I was shaking so badly the instructor had me sign a form asking me not to continue, for safety's sake. It was the first time I'd EVER been in command of a motorcycle myself--no previous experience, unlike the rest of the class. So, my cousin is teaching me now, and when the time comes I'll take the class again.

@@theprodigal7143 It went great! Everyone in my group passed. We had a monsoon happen halfway through our test and they eventually cancelled the last 30% of the test. It wasn’t bad at all. Nerves get to you, more than anything because that’s the one time where everyone is watching you. I did the figure 8s all day long and kept making the turns tighter and tighter with success. During the test, I dropped a leg down on a much bigger figure 8 just due to nerves. Don’t let it stress you out

Thanks for posting this. Last year I tried to do the msf course and completely lost all confidence within 2 hours that I could do this. I had dropped the bike twice, was wobbly when first getting going, couldn't do the maneuvers well, couldn't shift gears well. During the first break I voluntarily removed myself from the class and ran home with my tail between my legs and felt so terrible. The next week I went out and bought a motorcycle off of Craigslist and practiced in a nearby parking lot for a few weekends and got the basics down. Even after all this I was nervous about taking the msf again because I didn't want to look like a dumbass and fail the course on the test but this has given me the confidence to try again.

That’s not unusual. A lot of msf course riders are total newbs and so was I. What threw me off and distracted me for much of skills portion was the clutch, shifter, throttle coordination. It’s best to practice before taking the course to kinda get those down so you can focus on the skills. I actually took the msf course twice. The first time right before Covid when I was about to buy a bike which got delayed once Covid shut everything down for almost two years. The second time was a lot easier. Practice Practice Practice and you’ll be fine in time. I rode around my neighborhood a couple days a week for about a month before I got over the butterflies of going out in traffic on highways as city streets. Haven’t looked back and love every minute of it. Safe riding bro.

Great Video. You are correct in that scoring for the 4 Skills Evaluations is a maximum of 20 points total for successful completion. One can accumulate more than 5 points per Skill Eval though. The U-Turn box is a max. of 8 points. Lots of students freak over the box, but it alone will not fail a person. For the 3 re-maiming evaluations one can accumulate a max. of 15 per eval. Score sheets are set to MSF Standards and should be the same nationwide for the MSF-BRC.

This helped me pass with a perfect score today! Good job, thank you! One thing they changed (may be state to state), but we didn't have to do a completely figure 8 in the U-turn box for the exam (exercises we did). We just needed to do one U-turn to the left and come to a stop with front tire in a white box. Doesn't matter, I could have done the figure 8 if they wanted; your advice helped calm my nerves!

@@mtrotter325 Good idea! Regardless they have you do the full figure 8 during the exercises so you'll be prepared regardless.

Just took this test last week in NJ. It was a little different than what Jelly explained regarding the points. I am not proud of it but I did get a 20 and pass, however each skill test can be can be worth more than 5 points even if you don't drop the bike or do something dumb. so between the Box, swerve and quick stop, i only received 5 points, however for the Turn skill test I received 15 points. For anyone that might wonder how you can get 15 points on the turn test, it's all about speed and the inside outside inside technique. Following the Slow, Look, Press and Roll is very important. The thing i did wrong was I didn't Roll on my turns and I was slowing down on the turn. Main thing on this test is speed control. Good Luck!

When I took my msf course last year (I was 17 at the time) I was super excited and loved going quick. For one of my test we had to accelerate to I think around 15-20mph and then stop quickly before a given point. My dumbass went about 25 mph then in order to stop in the given distance I had to brake hard. My rear tire locked a bit I slid a bit. Didn't know side or anything kept the bike up fine. Passed with flying colors other than crossing the line by .01 inches on the figure 8 box test and locking my rear. To be fair to me tho I took my msf at a Harley dealership and the bikes there were a pretty decent size. Not some 125cc

I had to ride one of their TINY sportsters and I’m 6’-5”. The instructors apologized to me several times throughout the course because the ergonomics for a guy my size (I’m not fat) were just really bad and made it a lot more difficult being hunched up. I ended up passing but I was sore for a couple of days after. I now ride a cruiser which is soooo much easier. I can even do the box on my 23 year old carb HD softail. It’s kinda fun actually to do that one on your own in an empty parking lot. Practice practice practice. Safe riding!
@Dipndots87-ms6ds
@Dipndots87-ms6ds 3 месяца назад
They did not put you on a ‘tiny sportster’. They put you on a gutless street 500. The last thing they are going to do is put people on a top heavy sportster to learn slow speed maneuvers with. The HD Softail is an easy bike to learn on and ride.

Without a doubt the best RU-vid video of how to take/pass the MSF course I've seen. It was well organized; you actually showed all 4 skill tests; and more importantly, you showed how to pass all 4 -- with the caveat that as long as you don't drop the bike and you can pass at least 1 out of the 4 you're going to pass the course. That in itself helped me relax a lot because I start the course on Wednesday (2 days from now), finish it on Sunday, and I've been freaking out a little after watching a lot of the other videos. So many many thanks. (I actually went out today to the test site (a local community college) to check out the layout of the school/classrooms, and also the test area. Of particular attention was "the box". It appears to be 20 feet wide, so since I don't have my scooter yet I measured out 20' on my street and did figure 8's on my sport hybrid bicycle. It was certainly do-able on my bike, and I hope as long as I go slow enough and go as wide as I can at the start of each turn of the figure 8 without going over the line that I should be okay. The rest of the course was a little hard to figure out but your video showed it very well.)
@JellyMoto
@JellyMoto 8 лет назад
Thank you so much for your comments! Sounds like you are well prepared and believe me, once you are there doing it you will realize that it is a lot easier than it seems. I don't know where you are taking it but keep in mind your class may do some things differently as far as points and things, but you will have no problems passing. They really want you to pass and you should go into it without being nervous. You will do great! Good luck!

@skaybaltimore 8 лет назад
You're welcome. I'm taking my test in Maryland. For now I'm only interested in riding a scooter (2015 Yamaha Smax; purchased already but waiting at the dealer until I get my certification) but they make you take the full motorcycle course. At first I was ticked off because you don't have to shift gears on a scooter. But the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea of at least learning how to shift a motorcycle because that opens up my options down the road in case I want to get a 300cc cycle (Honda CBR 300 ABS is looking real appealing to me). And I know that they never require you to get the bike out of 2nd gear so 15-20 mph tops would seem to be about right throughout the whole course. And that's the speed I ride at on my bicycle. So I'm at least somewhat confident I can figure it all out. (And on my bike I'm locked into the clipless pedals and there's no way I can touch flat footed with even one foot on the ground; it's always tippy toe with my right leg at stops. So advantage motorcycle. And I don't have to worry about pedaling -- just twist the throttle.) The thing that I think might take a while to adjust to is that on a bicycle both levers activate the brakes; there's no clutch on the left lever. So I'm pretty sure at first that I'll be expecting them to both be brakes until I get the hang of the left lever being the clutch and the right foot pedal being the rear brake. But they give you 6 hours the first day and I'm not sure how many hours of practice the 2nd day, so that should be enough to adjust. (Both days are 6 hours each but part of the second day is the testing. And then there's 3 hours on Wednesday and 3 hours on Thursday in the classroom.) I'll post back either way. But rest assured your video is a big help.
@JellyMoto
@JellyMoto 8 лет назад
I wasn't sure how I was going to adjust to having a foot brake either but like anything else, you get used to it real fast. They spend a lot of time on braking because on the motorcycle the front brake is very strong and you have to be careful not to lock it up. You will get plenty of practice. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Well...I went to the first teaching class last night. No biggie, but of the 24 people in the class at least 18 or more have already ridden motorcycles...some for over 30 years. So when it comes to the riding classes it's definitely not going to be a group of noobie riders, only me and a few others. But I can only focus on what I need to do and learn; I can't worry about anybody else. If they want to take a beginners class with all that experience that's on them. And they're calling for major thunderstorms on Sunday, the test day. But that can change between now and then.

Definitely recommend everyone taking the course instead of doing it on your own, even though getting your license here in the US is laughably easy compared to in most European countries.

I don’t know the points system. But eg. If each section had 10 points and there were four sections, that’s 40 points total. Losing less than 20 points would be more than a 50% pass. Go figure. I liked the video. I’m in WA and here it was a 2 day riding followed by 1 day classroom. I would have liked some riding on the actual road instead of a parking lot, but what you get probably varies depending on location.

Here in Florida you must complete a very entertaining online module and take a test to get a certificate. Would you present on the first day of range training. Then you must complete two days of practice before taking a riding test. It was a lot of fun. I just completed it for the second time I took it the first time nine years ago. The only thing that has changed is that there is no classroom, only the online modules and range practice and test.

It is but when you start riding on a regular basis you are able to relax and focus on sharpening your skills like counter steering, breaking, slow speed turns and maneuvers and not worrying about the clutch, shifting, and the throttle. I’ve been riding about 18 months now and it gets a lot easier. Just focus, don’t panic, and don’t speed even if your friends do when you are just starting out. Give yourself some time to build your riding skills and you’ll be fine

You have to do everything in one go : It starts with one hard slow section (you need to complete it in 14s or more, it's the hardest part to learn), then a full stop into a U turn, then the emergency braking (35mph to 0), a U turn with a passenger (you stop so your passenger gets down), slalom at 35mph, u turn, and then 35mph avoid. You can put your foot down 3times, but any foot down above 3 is considered a mistake, and you're only allowed 2 mistakes. Crossing a white line = elimination Stopping the bike outside of the regular stops = elimination Hitting an obstacle = elimination doing the slow course faster than 14s = elimination (doing it between 14 and 16s = 1 mistake, and 16s or slower = good) going slower than 35mph for the fast speed tests = elimination You will have a 2nd try, but you won't if you crash the bike or take a fall.

@samuelgaldieri8212 2 года назад
Also for emergency stop you should be using both front and back break, really should be using both breaks on every stop, but as a general rule it should be 80/20% front to back break, you can stop much faster using both breaks as opposed to just front break
@chrisloesch1870
@chrisloesch1870 Год назад
Yeah instinctively people clench the front brake when they have to stop quickly and that leads to a dump most of the time unless you have a newer bike with antilock brakes. My bike is 23 years old so I don’t have that feature and I’ve had two close calls in 18 months were someone in a car cut me off and slammed on their brakes to try and turn right off a 4 lane road. If you feel your backend sliding out from behind you but before you dump the bike you have maybe a second or two to release the front brake and the bike should straighten back out, but you have to react quickly to stop it.

There are 4 Evaluations. All comprised of skills practiced during the MSF course. Max points for passing is 20 for the entire Riding Skills Evaluation. A maximum of 10 points may be assessed for any one skills evaluation.So, totally blowing two of the skills evaluations will only have you assessed for a possible 20 or below “Passing Score” for the Skills Evaluations. The only “Immediate Failure” is dropping the motorcycle. If you find 2 wheels aren’t enough, try the 3 wheel course. There are some wicked 3 wheelers out on the market now days. Hope this helps.

You have really helped me destress a bit. I use a semi automatic scooter myself. (Honda 2020 125c Super Cub). Due to it not being similar to a motorcycle, i had to learn a lot of new things. My class is tomorrow and im stoked to get it all done and over with. The only thing im worried about is my foot to peg coordination is off. So having to kick a stick up and down within 5 seconds will be challenging for me. My Super Cub has 2 sticks instead of the 1 a motorcycle has.

one weird thing i found out is that everything is exaggerated when you are the one on the bike, you feel like you are leaning more than you actually are, you feel like you are going faster than you actually are. But then when you look at others doing it, it looks like children's play

The figure 8 box is the stupidest evaluation ever. What difference does it make if you put your foot down or not? What are we testing here? Parade skills? When do you ever need to do this? Never. Negotiating a decreasing radius turnk from highway speeds would be more pertinent.
@fearcityfpv7037
@fearcityfpv7037 6 лет назад
sevenrats U turns. They say too putting your foot down increases your chances of breaking an ankle. I agree with you though. Many people have trouble with slow speed stuff, and I believe the majority of accidents happen at pretty low speeds.
@Liteg0
@Liteg0 6 лет назад
To show you have control of the bike at low speeds? In my country these tests are a lot harder, they have to be done on a heavy bike (~600cc), you can't fail any of them and they have to be done twice, otherwise you won't get a licence. We also have to do a ~45 minute ride on public roads with a trailing instructor in varried conditions to demonstrate we are capable of handling real scenarioes. In addition to that we have 10+ hours of obligatory driving lessons. All of that because they don't want unskilled riders on the road, obviously cause that's not safe for them or anyone else.

I failed the first time. I got a motorcycle for my birthday, which is in July. I looked up the course schedule at my local community college, and saw there were 3 classes, so I signed up for one. What I didn't know is that they run the course all year. I didn't have to pick July, I could have waited for fall, but I didn't know. So it's 100 degrees, I'm in long sleeves, long pants, gloves, boots, helmet. Been out in blazing sun all day, got dizzy, and couldn't understand the instructions for one of the maneuvers.

Yea, that u-turn box can kiss my grits lol. It's just so tight, but I understand the needing the learn how to counter-weight, but I just couldn't do it. Only area I got points. I can do u-turns on the road no problem, but in the class, the box was just too tight in my opinion. Also, in Florida, now at least, it's 15 points to fail and you can get multiple infractions during 1 test. And there's 5 tests that we had to do.

Being south in Cherry Hill is great because if you want to practice and ride where there are not a lot of cars, just ride east a bit and there are tons of empty roads between cherry hill and the coast. That is where I ride. It’s mostly farms and then the pine barrens. No cars, wide open. I love riding out there. No traffic and a great place to ride especially if you want to just get time getting used to the bike without having to deal with cars.
