MST (Motorcycle Skills Test) Training

This class is right for you if…

• You have past motorcycle riding experience, and feel comfortable using the clutch and balancing a bike at low speed
• You need to pass your MST at ICBC in Langford and want coaching and a bike delivered to ICBC for the test

We supply the motorcycles, helmets, gloves and an ICBC Certified Motorcycle Skills Assessment Officer to coach you through the ins and outs of the test.

This class includes an explanation of the rules and marking system, followed by a demonstration of the MST and then 60 minutes of practice on an MST course. This is a group class, not private lessons.

$295 for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Includes delivery of the bike to ICBC Langford for the MST. If you don’t pass on the first try, re-test rentals are only $50.

This is NOT a learn to ride course. Do not sign up for this course unless you are confident in your ability to ride a motorcycle.

Just looking for bike rental for your MST?

We can deliver a bike to ICBC (Dunford tesing station in Langford) for your Victoria MST test for $120. This includes the option to show up on any Sunday prior to your test date and watch the test demo (3pm). If you would like the training time on a bike, please pre-book the training package above as there are limited spots and bikes available.

The $50 re-test rental does not apply to bike rentals without the lesson.

Available bikes include a Honda Grom 125 and a Honda XR150 dual sport.

The Most Common Reasons for Failing the Motorcycle Skills Test:

The following are not automatic fails, however they each result in 2 demerits, and the cut-off point for demerits is maximum 3.

• Slowing down before the examiner gives the stop signal (2 demerits)
• Not stopping quick enough (2 demerits)
• Long skid of the back tire (2 demerits)
• Going too slow during the sudden stop exercise (2 demerits)
• Unable to complete the u-turn without putting foot down multiple times or going around the boundary cones (2 demerits)

While none of the above items will fail you automatically if they simply occur once during the test, all parts of the test are repeated, and any two of the above errors occuring at any time during the test will cause a failure due to ‘skills’ incompetency. Most people worry about the slow portion of the MST, but as you can see from the list above, the braking portion offers far more opportunities to fail.

There are also several items which are automatic fails if they occur during the ICBC motorcycle skills test. Basically, anything that would be considered illegal or dangerous on the street, such as a wheelie or stoppie (lifting the front or rear wheel off the ground), losing control of your motorcycle or dropping it, or riding with no hands.
