Step 5 : Stage 3.01, 3.02

Stage 3.01:
The instructor will be teaching you 2 things, plank and pylon.
It's pretty easy if you relax your body and don't be nervous.

Plank -  
You have to be in Gear 1 and hold 3 things once you get up to the plank;
1) half clutch  2) 1.5-2/5 throttle  3) foot-brake

Once you are on the plank, press and hold foot-brake slightly, hold on to 2/5 throttle and
hold half clutch all the way until you exit the plank.
Do not release the throttle when you're on the plank.
You have to exit the plank after 6 seconds.
Most importantly is not to always look down on the plank as you will fall/go out of plank halfway.
Just take a quick look if you are about to go out of the plank in the middle.
Lastly, your legs must hold tight to the tank and relax your shoulders.
Move only the arms to balance the handlebar. (I passed at one go.)

 










Pylon - 
From Gear 1 at the starting point, go up to Gear 2 before you move on to the first cone.
Slowly release the clutch but hold on to both 2/5 throttle and foot-brake.
Try to maintain the same speed. Move only your shoulders to go left right left right.
And as usual, your legs must hold tight to the tank.
You have to exit the pylon before 6 seconds.
Don't go too slow as well as your bike may stall. (I passed at one go.)


 












Stage 3.02:
The instructor will be teaching you about E-Brake (emergency brake/foot brake on the wet road)
Do not press brakes too hard.
Look straight. Don't look down to the road or your bike as you may get nervous.
 
So from there, you will see 3 cones.
Starting line: Gear 1 in the queue. 
1st cone: You must be in Gear 2 and 20-25km/h (take a quick look at the speedometer)
2nd cone: You must be in Gear 3 and maintain 30km/h all the way (take a quick look at the speedometer)
3rd cone: You have to do 3 things on instant as possible:
1) Release throttle first then 2) Press foot brake and 3) front brake together.

So once you are about to stop within the e-brake box,
press clutch fully but don't Gear down to 1 from 3 first.
Only once you stopped within the e-brake box the press the pedal down to Gear 1 from 3.
Must also hold front brake at all time.
Lastly, check blindspots before you move off.
Most importantly is to keep body position up straight and your arms must hold firm to the handlebar. (I passed at one go.)
