Definitely first gear. I passed mine a couple months ago. Slip the clutch, rear brake and make sure you look where you want to be.

Default Re: MOD 1 which gear????? Help plz !!!!

Slipping the clutch +1. Look where you go +1. Key to not feeling tempted to put your foot down when going slow is to keep the revs up and slip the clutch to maintain the correct speed during the manuever. Revving high stabilises the bike (not too high ), whilst slipping the clutch means you don't have to use the brake. And it should be back brake for slow manuevers. You will have much more control if you learn to use the back effectively. Good luck.

+1 to clutch control. Makes me glad I did mine on a knackered old cb500 which felt a lot less torquey than the sv in first. Good luck!

First gear
fair amount of revs
control power with the clutch ( always slip clutch when doing slow maneuvers )
control speed with rear brake ( keep foot resting on brake )
