I had a 1995 Kawaski Ninja 600 3 years ago and only rode around the neighborhood for a couple months before it started to had problems and I sold it. So at least I have a idea kind of. Any help or suggestions?
Also I'm planning on getting a Suzuki Gsx-R600 soon. Dont want another carburetor bike.
Thanks guys  !

Forgive me if this was already answered, too lazy to read everything.
The final test has scenarios played out for you that will cost you "points" if you mess them up (depending on what you do). Too many points, you fail. Yes, people fail all the time. The biggest fail point is "The Box", I'd say - being able to do a Figure-8 in a tight area with your bike. Practice that beforehand if you can, but to be honest, you'll get TONS of practice at the course, likely.
Personally, I was a little bit worried, and I ended up acing my final with 0 points, and I was kinda proud of that. If you DO fail, I believe you need to reschedule your final, and/or re-take the entire course.
Just relax and pay attention to what they are saying. Trust your bike and your tires, and take the difficult stuff one step at a time - dont be "that guy" that lays his bike down during the damn BRC lol.
