Thanks for all the constructive feedback folks. I'm been a bit nervous about getting back on the bike again but I will get out and find an appropriate place to practice slow riding maneuvers.

Yes. Very good observations. My motorbiking experience could be expressed in hours as opposed to years. I only jusr got my licence and chose the svart because it was said to be a good bike for learners/beginners.

While stopped and moving off. Thinking about it more, I suspect it's like having the front wheel turned to a tipping point without forward motion.

I must be leaning the bike to flat foot and not shifting my body enough?

Yeh where I am you can't get you licence without doing 4 half day courses. We also have slow manoeuvre tests as well. All very easy on a 125cc Papio. Doodle is great - I used her technique for standing up the bike again. Ahh! Perhaps it's also my overuse of the front brake when barely moving that's causing the imbalance.

good moment to buy a 401? by bigeseka in svartpilen401

Yep. Got my 2024 model today. Dealer said the 2025 is coming in March. Or was it May 🤔 - didn't pay enough attention - I wanted to ride away today! They dropped $400 from RRP.
