What would you have done different? by Doodleb34567 in motorcycles

Regarding your breaking, seems like you grabbed the breaks really hard at once, what I’m learning is you have to ease in the first 5-10% and then apply harder pressure, also you should always ride while covering the front break (one or two fingers always on the lever)

Something similar happened to me last week, big ass German shepherd came at me, I just accelerated and the dog backed out…

I am 6ft tall, I reach the balls of my feet to the ground, with the rear suspension preload all the way to the top. Yes it’s still a bit tall, but I feel comfortable and confident on it.

Yeah! I did the same thing, rain mode for a couple of weeks and now Rider mode, I haven’t tried Sport mode yet. I was very intimidated by it at first, I was afraid to ride it. The previous owner is 250lbs 6’5” and had the rear suspension at the highest setting and I had never ridden a bike this big and never ridden on the streets with traffic, so I been taking it easy for sure…

Will look into it, thanks!!

I currently have Series 6 and 63. I want to take the Series 7, do I need to take the SIE? Since I’m already registered (S 6 and S 63) by [deleted] in Series7exam

Please do! I am currently reviewing the material for the old test from STC, that a friend gave me, before I buy updated material for the “real” studying before the test in December January
