Passed my mod2 on Thursday (22nd October) I literally replayed your video days coming up to the big day. It helped out alot. Great advice and very helpful 🎉🥳 thankyou 😊
I just wanted to say thanks. Big help playing this video on the days upcoming and on the day of the test. Helped a lot to calm my nerves when I was confident with the answers. Test felt that much easier after. Passed yesterday :). Finally on my full A after a few years on my A2.
Imagine turning the engine off using the emergency stop switch and then forgetting to switch it back to the run position during the test and not realising why the bike won't start. I'm sure it has happened to someone before. Always best to listen for a fuel pump when you turn the ignition on is a trick I like to use for fuel injected bikes. In just normal use too I always use the key to switch the bike off so never usually have to worry about the emergency switch unless someone else switched it unknown to me.
I think most examiners (maybe not all) tell the student to return the switch to the run position as soon as they have shown the examiner how to test it so they won’t forget to reset it at the start of the test.. 👍
Good luck. Dont forget to watch our pillion questions video also as the examiner will ask you 2 questions about the bike maintenance and also a question on carrying a pillion passenger :)
P.s. also a great thing to include if you ever do another, WALT (easy to remember if your a Disney fan or breaking bad fan haha) WEAR, ALIGNMENT, LUBRICATION AND TENSION
I have been really busy over the summer but now the weather is getting worse and I have more free time I will be doing some mock tests rides around Leicester. Been out yesterday and today recording some footage just need time to edit it and sort out the commentary and then I will upload them. You have probably already passed your test by this time though so it probably won't help you.
I will be suggesting to the DVSA that they start introducing questions into the Theory and Mod2 tests that are appropriate to electric motorcycles where the petrol bike questions might not fit. For example an electric motorcycle usually has no transmission or oil pan so there would be no need to check oil. The engine cutout switch is usually repurposed to be a throttle lock switch and is used when mounting/dismounting the bike, pushing the bike when off the side stand and also critically when demonstrating the throttle control to anyone or allowing anyone to touch the throttle. There may be scope for asking questions about recharging but since refueling petrol is not currently included they may skip that. Questions about belt/chain, lights and signals, steering and brakes are of course the same. I will be sitting my Mod2 next week on a Zero DS 11kW and the Instructors and Examiner have all been very keen to check the bike as they are not often presented for tests in the UK. My Instructor and my Mod1 Examiner have both experienced the quiet riding at very slow speeds and have had to adjust their teaching process to keep an eye on the bike rather than just an ear.
They ask you 2 maintenance questions (1 Show and 1 tell) they then ask you 1 questions about carrying a pillion passenger (see our other video on the possible pillion questions)
they should do more realistic questions for mod 2 like 'show me how you would push your 125 home after youve run out of petrol at 2am going to buy a teenth off your mate' and 'tell me how you would budget for your monthly insurance payments on the dole'. and my favourite 'tell me how you would carry a 2nd gen playstation and a hand full of shit games to cash converters using your bike to pay for that emergency tenner you used on the leccy card to get the lights back on'
Don’t forget the most important one.. show me how you would balance your McDonald’s coffee on the petrol tank while travelling through the drive though 😂

Thanks. Mod 2 tomorrow on a gladius and this should help me look like I know what I'm doing during training :)
Good luck.. you have a great bike to help you pass :)
KJ's School of Motoring smashed it, thanks. 3 minors for being a bit slow, all through training I had to be told to slow down :D
Good luck. Dont forget to watch our pillion questions video also as the examiner will ask you 2 questions about the bike maintenance and also a question on carrying a pillion passenger :)
P.s. also a great thing to include if you ever do another,
WALT (easy to remember if your a Disney fan or breaking bad fan haha)
WEAR, ALIGNMENT, LUBRICATION AND TENSION
Chain question you didn't mention wheel alignment
Really...really useful. Thank you for doing this video.
Your welcome. Also see our other video about the pillion questions you will be asked when you start the mod2 test.
@@KJsSchoolOFMotoring thank you once again, very useful and I passed Mod2 today!
Well done.
This is very informative man! Thanks a lot👊🏻
Your very welcome hope it helps. Checkout our other video on the pillion questions also 👍
Hi Any chance you could do one of Leicester test routes with commentary. There’s no videos of bikes doing a test route in Leicester.
I have been really busy over the summer but now the weather is getting worse and I have more free time I will be doing some mock tests rides around Leicester. Been out yesterday and today recording some footage just need time to edit it and sort out the commentary and then I will upload them. You have probably already passed your test by this time though so it probably won't help you.
Look forward to seeing it. Not many bike lesson videos for Leicester area.

Hi guys mood 2 tomorrow. Wondering how many of these questions do they ask?
They ask you 2 maintenance questions (1 Show and 1 tell) they then ask you 1 questions about carrying a pillion passenger (see our other video on the possible pillion questions)
U pass?
@@Juicebarltd
Yes I did. Thanks
@@expatbiker6598 did u do it at Enfield. Seems to be no vids at that test centre
@@Juicebarltd
It was at mitcham. They wouldn't allow me to film it for some reason.

@@KJsSchoolOFMotoring haha
Chief! If you redo the video with a dead cat mic you will get more views
Best 1 so far I've seen
Thanks Richy I hope it helps you on your Mod2 👍
