@Dennis Buckley Thank you for your comment Dennis, I wish you well with both Modules. All the best

Hi Tom, thank you for your comments. much appreciated. I agree, Yes its a bit mad out there now isnt it? The practice will be a winner, the SX is a lovely bike and I find very manageable at low speeds, though it needs to lean a bit more than my BMW to turn at low speed. Youre very welcome, hope it all comes together for you, best wishes, ride safe

glad the practice is working out well Mick, ride safe

Thank you, I hope that the video helps you with your U turns. I also hope that your SX arrives very soon, I enjoy mine very much, great bikes! Best wishes

good luck with your next cbt

Thank you for your comment. Good luck with it, keep practicing and don’t be too hard on yourself You’ll get there!

@@MotorcyclePWR zero fault mod 1 passed this morning. Thanks for the uploads, extremely helpful 👍

Mod 2 passed! I've spent a good number of hours going over your uploads and found it extremely helpful giving me a good knowledge base before I even sat on a "big bike". Many thanks, I'll continue following 👍🏍️

You're very welcome, glad it is helpful. All the best

You're welcome, glad they are helpful. Wishing you well for your mod 1

@Anthony Green thank you, much appreciated. All the best

Glad it was helpful!

@@MotorcyclePWR Just back from evening ride. During same I made time to do more car park based slow speed control work...Still improving - thanks again.

@Bruce Kain thanks for your comment Bruce, yes it can be difficult sometimes, the key is clutch work training that muscle memory. I often get my students to ride the bike feet down and use the clutch only to move the bike at walking speed, no throttle. This trains sensitivity and muscle memory for clutch control. Eventually i get them to put both feet up and still ride with no throttle, just controlling the speed of the bike with clutch only. Its also good for training balance. I hope your confidence develops and you are soon happy riding, all the best

Glad you liked it! Thank you

@ricardo68 Many thanks. I'm sorry to hear you' ve lost your confidence. Its difficult to diagnose these issues online, but there are a few things to try. The GSXS 1000 is lovely, in my experience quite feisty but fun! Is this bike very different to your previous rides, or do you feel quite protective of it because its new? Has there been any incident, experienced or witnessed, no matter how small that could have sown a seed of doubt in your mind? So if following the usual slow speed advice of keeping head up, clutch slip/revs up/ rear brake still doesn't work for you then I would suggest other options. 1/ If possible, try to use/borrow a smaller bike to see if you can build confidence. Even an hour at a training school on one of their bikes could be enough to move things forward. 2/ If that's not an option, perhaps try the large quiet carpark, start with massive circles and turns at a comfortable speed and gradually tighten and slow. Pace yourself and dont beat yourself up if it doesn't work straight away! Take a sensible friend! with you who could encourage you to keep your head an eyes up if this is an issue, it could also be more fun practicing with a friend. Practice is vital, as long as you are practicing the right way of doing it! 3/ Its all in our head. The more we stress and worry the worse it will get. I know its easy to say, but if you can try to look at the positives and allow yourself to gain confidence again you should be able to achieve. Dont get hung upon the times it didn't go well, but try to look at why they didn't and use that experience to develop. Sorry I cant offer anything more concrete at the moment, but if you can identify anything that seems to be holding you back we can revisit it. Good luck and all the best.

@Brian Wells hi Brian, thanks for your question, sorry you are having issues Without seeing you ride its difficult to fix, however i will try! Are you grabbing the front brake on straights or when cornering? So front brake grabbing will likely be a fear/panic response, so we need to identify what you are concerned about happening. If you can find a quiet practice area, its worth practicing slow speed control in straight lines to gain confidence. If the bike feels too slow and unstable, go a little quicker and work on your skill. Always aim to stop smoothly using only the rear brake. Make sure you have lots of safe space so it doesn't matter how long it takes to stop. For slow speed control its helpful to shut the throttle after you stop, so if you focus on your fingers controlling the throttle it may reduce panic braking. Once you build confidence with the techniques you can progress to slow cornering, if the bike feels like it wants to fall gradually increase clutch to drive rear wheel. Having your head and eyes looking all the way through the turn is essential. Its also useful to talk out loud to yourself to settle nerves and focus on the technique. I hope this helps, please let me know how you get on. You could send me a video if you still have issues. Good luck, all the best

@@MotorcyclePWR Thankyou so much for getting back to me. Firstly it is when I'm looking to stop, and the fear is that I drop my bike. Cornering is not a problem. You mentioned talking out loud could work, and I will certainly give that a go. I think what makes it worse is the fact that I have never had this problem previously. Thanks again for your advice. I will keep you posted.

@Brian Wells Youre welcome . Can i ask what bike you ride and do you have an issue putting your foot on the floor due to leg length/ seat height? As im sure you know dropping at a stop is usually caused by harsh front braking, so if you hone gentle front brake use and ease front brake off just prior to the stop there should be little chance of a drop. Also make sure that your eyes dont look down as you are stopping. I wish you well with your practice.

@@MotorcyclePWR I used to have a BMW 1200 Rallye. I think this is where the problem began, the bike really was too high. I changed to an R 1200 RT, a bit lower but still have the same issues. Coming to a junction I tend to stop short, but then trying to start again and move to the line is stressful and messy. I do appreciate your help in this, thankyou once again.

@Brian Wells ah i see, that makes sense, often see this with taller bikes. Im sure with practice youll find it easier. The softer you stop the better. So with mastery of braking and slow speed control youll feel safer and more in control. All the best
