Well, had my test yesterday, failed for the most stupid reason, had a different bike for the test that id been learning on, and just couldnt get the feel for the back break, so giant 30 foot skid on the emergency stop.

Oh well, retest in 2 weeks, everything else was ok, although my stability isnt too good, if i fail again, i guess im going to have to get a 125 for a few months, then do the das test later, poop and more poop.

Unlucky mate , but stick at it - i was exactly the same when i failed first time round but passing makes it all go away and leaves you with a smile you can't get rid of for days . Laughing

30 foot skid! Laughing

How fast were you going?

Next time leave the back brake well alone - just rest your foot on it to make it look like you are using it.

Inch and a half of free play on the rear brake sounds like far too much :S

Mine's adjusted to 2cm before brakes come on.

Well, for me it would be, and it was totaly different to the other er5 id been learning on, but i was so caught up on the ride before the test, that i didnt think to say, can i change bikes before the test, DOH.

Im not to worried, always the next one Smile

LOL, it was a silver er5, i thought it was the same, and so did they, only figured it out at the test centre 10 mins before the test.

I think i was doomed from the start.
