What to expect
The test is about 15 minutes long, and takes place in a paved lot at slow speeds. You will be tested on your ability to operate the motorcycle, steer correctly and maintain balance and appropriate speed while performing the following maneuvers:
  • pushing the motorcycle (non-powered)
  • using hand signals
  • using the side stand or centre stand
  • slow straight ride - using the clutch
  • slalom
  • braking
  • U-turns or 3-point turns
  • turns
  • acceleration/deceleration (may include gear shift)
  • sudden stop
You will also be asked to identify controls on the motorcycle and to demonstrate hand signals.
The examiner will watch:
  • how you handle the clutch, throttle and brake controls
  • how you shift gears
  • whether you keep your feet on the pegs
  • whether you miss any turns or hit any of the traffic cones that mark your path
