Hi all,

Would like to ask what is the process and how much will it cost now for B2 to B full license?

Has there be any changes after Anthony intervention on the costing?

Thanks

Is around 600-800 if not mistaken.

Do you have an idea on the processes? Google results i found are pretty dated. With Metro driving schools charging around 1200

Metro always expensive... but if u fail the test u can take it again without the need to pay anything.

take undang, go for lessons 13 hours or so dont remember, QTI and then test that's it

If upgrading, do an L license at jpj. Then go to academy / school and do the above. No need take kpp01 i.e. the computer test.

From B2 no need enter class and Kpp01, just straight to Kpp02, 9 hours briefing (divide to 2 days), then at least 3 session practice. Next is QTI, if pass then jpj.
Not sure about how to renew BFull L. I went from no license to BFull.

Call Metro and ask them the exact cost from B2 to B Full. I think it less than RM1200 as you already have B2 licence.
You can either apply B Full L yourself at JPJ or let Metro do it for you. Then straight away can start KPP02 /03 training on track. No need to sit any course KPP01 or computer test if you already taken one when getting your previous B2 licence.

this

and this

for renewing, can renew at jpj or post office every 3 or 6 month in a period of 2 years. after 2 years the L Bfull license will not be valid anymore if im not mistaken.

for the price it depends. I did at IMKEDA for RM580 last year minus the L Bfull license. other driving schools may vary

Alright thanks everyone for the valuable input!

I'm currently with IMKEDA too, pause at practice session due to moved away from Cheras early last year. Plan to finish it after CNY.
The L license will valid for 2 years.

One review I would like to give about metro Driving. I got my full B from them and am fully satisfied. But when I missed my last class where they give practice with internal trainer they asked me to pay extra which I refused and went directly to the exam. It was raining on my last class and knew the class would be cancelled. Rest is history.

IMKL is the cheapest so far I'd surveyed (650), this one has only 1 try for JPJ exam.

Metro and Perfect both are quite expensive (close to 1k) but they have unlimited tries for JPJ exam.

i took B full license recently at end of 2019 from Metro without a prior B2 license. That was about RM800. So I assume a conversion from B2 to B full would be less. The package I took still came with metro's standard free 3x resit for JPJ test.
But I didnt opt for the transport /pick up that they offered as it was some additional charge.

I suggest you look up on FB etc for promo's for a discount etc. Usually they will have some raya or year end deal. You just need to ask.

Cost me rm 660 + rm 20 to renew my L license
So total 680 or 700 if you include a licence photo

wah really ar. i took B full (conversion from B2) in Sept 2018 for 1,000. damnnn. now its 1,200 huh.

Hi, am wondering, is the B full course open during CMCO? Planning to take the B full license. Any driving school open yet?

B2 to B Full conversion based on JB rates, 600-800 (one time test or until pass)
reissue L licence, KPP2, then sessions, then QTI then test.

B Full alone, I paid 1200 until pass. 990 if one time test.
KPP1 and KPP2, all in one day. Sessions 10 hrs, QTI then test. Failed once coz jatuh titi, so the extra 200 paid was well worth it. Titi is a bitch to sort out. Once misaligned from start, a bit hard to counter back.

Tips for tests:

before going on titi, u can adjust your bike direction. If not fully straight, just push back, and align again. Remember to go slow on it, because you have to be on it for 7 seconds.

slalom, very easy for B full, play with your rear brakes.

E-brake: remember to accelerate fast. When stopped, put left leg down with right on the brakes.

Bumps: use knees to stay on the bike, loosen up your hands. If mati engine, just press starter again, they wont notice. Keep calm, no issues.

The rest ezpz, dont worry.

I am also waiting for reopening.

Just passed by computer theory test.

Waiting for practical lessons.

I have a car license only. Would like to go for B Full what's the cost for it? Got a quote at RM650 will be too cheap or something fishy?

Where? Kuala Kubu Bharu?

where do u get rm650? I am interest to know too... i checked few website is around 1.2k .. if legit dont mind share with me? =)

Contrary to widely available info, places I checked with has been maintaining at RM650 or below for many years.
RM650 (or below) is the base price, single QTI exam fees (50), plus tax 6%. If fail and need retest, pay RM50+6% to retake.

Suggest you lookup local learning schools, and call them.
Here's one: http://imkl.com.my/lesenmemandu.html

i did at IMKEDA under sekolah memandu Yusoff 2 years ago. it was a promotion where its rm580 minus the L B full that u have to do it urself.

Failing QTI test retest is RM20
Failing JPJ test retest is RM180 if im not mistaken.

Fortunately i pass both of the test the 1st time.

If already have driving license, if take upgrade B2 to B, what will happen to the old license? Because have lesen L for B full right?

old license still applies. its just that u need to carry the b full L license jelah. after u pass the Bfull then u can go to JPJ and they'll update ur license

oh so can bring two different licences, ty

can no problem. but u need to put L la at ur big bike. if not kena saman tak letak sticker L lol

i passed my B test..
RM680 for B2 to B full
Penang

congrats.

congratz.

My wife took her B full in Penang and it cost RM500

thanks.

Wow.. how come the fee so cheap.
also B2 to B full?

My bikeshop at kedah said Changlun there only RM350
but that time i already paid full.. ha..

i'm taking this package, yes it is 650 (with tax i think ended up 689), queuing for QTI now, delayed due to the MCO.

Extra hour is RM10 for 2 hrs, JPJ test if you fail, RM212 for retest. The practice bike is not good, pretty badly maintained ER6N (especially the yellow unit), but QTI and JPJ test are good, using Z650.

yeah she took from B2 to B full. We applied though a bike shop

I registered 2 weeks ago in IDI Driving school in Penang.. Already have B2 and D.. Cost RM650 or less if you let them settle everything for you (reactivate your L license, etc).. If you buy a bike from shop, they can even register for you for RM350-400 only.. Have to go through compulsory 9.5 hours training (3+3+3.5), QTI and then take the JPJ exam. Now need thumbprint oh, cannot skip the 9.5 hrs training session if you're already an expert ;-)

They fixed the yellow bike now - it lighter to turn compared to before.. the red one is now worse - clutch biting point so hard to find + no rear brakes, turns feel funny..

Will do my QTI soon.. still havent ride the Z650 yet.. A lot of people said its much better..really Hoping that it is..

Best of luck with your QTI and JPJ test.

Z650 feels about the same as riding a Z250 or Ninja 250/400. Not intimidating to ride and has ABS. You'll probably enjoy it.

Thanks. Can't wait to finish all the license stuff.

Most who are already familiar w bikes have no problems with part 2 obstacle course. As i mentioned in another thread, one guy who expertly took the test was shocked he failed the part 3 road test. The instructor said he did not activate the turn signal before moving from stationary. These little stuff need to be carefully Incorporated as some JPJ testers may be particularly nasty. Things like minimum 3 wave of arm for slowing down are reasons for failure.

here's what I recall

Yes the Z650 is much better to ride and good luck for your QTI and exam!

too late to know.. hahaha..
my wife refuse to take B full..
want to poison her also cannot..

just curios, how tall is your wife height?

Mine was always interested in B full so all I just needed to do was get a bike and let her get use to it. she is about 5'4

This post has been edited by Kaboku: Aug 18 2020, 09:43 AM

i see, much taller than mine..hahaha..
so which bike u bought her?

I got the Vulcan S. It allows her to gain confidence as she able to flat foot it but now she is looking at adventure bikes

i got a benelli 502c, too heavy for her.. so she reluctant to try.
may i have the chance to try your vulcan? haha..

adv? it is much taller than any other big bike.
i tot she will go for cafe race.

If you are in Penang I can let you have a go on the Vulcan.

She doesn't like cafe racer. She is currently looking at GS1250 or KTM 1290 Adventure but I am planning on getting a Tiger first to let her get use to the weight and height

wow.. isn't GS1250 too tall for her?
both are really good bike. she know more than me..lolx

i live at buttwerworth, near megamall.
thanks for sharing.
maybe u n me can meet someday, a small gathering maybe.

Yeah it is and heavy too but she has her eyes set on those. I think once she get used to the height and weight everything should be alright.

I live on the island and a small gathering would be nice

I had my B2 decades ago so my Full B license training was an eye opener. Although I could skip the computer test, things new to me were the double U-turns, riding around the full track, the narrow bridge and the humppy track. I had difficulty maneuvering the U-turns because I ride a cruiser yet train on a superbike. At the narrow bridge, I always ran off the bridge as I started off too slowly (not until my instructor taught to me take-off with a good pickup, align my eyes to the horizon then just glide the bike). The figure 8 is now much larger probably to accommodate big bikes. A yellow safety jacket is compulsory during practice (also new to me) I did mine at Metro Driving. 2 years later when my son took his there, upgrades are they now provide buffet tea break, a free open face helmet and that yellow safety jacket. Free van transport from house to Metro was provided as we stay at Subang Jaya (Places outside their designated area got to pay). If I recall, we are now only given 2 chances to take the test, failing which we have to pay a new training fee. During my experience, the motorcycles were in fairly good shape except maybe one temporary out because it needed to repair the safety bar. For RM1000, it is not cheap but I needed a track similar to the one JPJ do their test on and I could not find a similar place outside where I could practice the narrow bridge on my own plus the problem was I would be practicing on a cruiser but doing my test on a superbike with 2 different riding positions was awkward and not wise.

Mind to PM the training centre?

Mind to PM the training centre?

Direct walk in to the one at the Batu Uban JPJ there.
On B2 to B full, about that price as well.

Oh... Great. Thanks for the info.

Great. Thanks for the info.

Melati at Bukit Minyak is charging about RM 470 for B2 to B full

Wah even cheaper by just crossing a bridge.

This post has been edited by RagingCandy: Jan 20 2022, 12:46 AM

cheap yes, u gotta make sure how many hours they let u use their site/bike to train...
some giv 2hours oni.. then makan sindiri...

Good piece of advice.

they didn't limit the hours to train on their bike. go for the course till you are confident then take exam

no time limit is great, hv to cross bridge ..

Guys I heard from someone if we have CDL we can skip khursus and straight go apply B2L at JPJ... got such thing?

nope, i still have to go through khusus and pc test only can get L B2

this cost iinm 2007 - 2010 .....nowdays going to around 1.5k below

That guy maybe bluff me lol

Got mine for RM800 total for B full kosong. 16 hours of training... Wan revise also can

where is this?

Metro and Perfect has b2 -> b full for 1k. Wondering if there are cheaper places.

Imkeda is cheaper, but experience is meh....

Who gave you that price? Nobody in their right mind would take motorcycle if its this expensive

Unless the 1.5k pau all la then different story

nope, the cost is like that. rm600 -rm700 plus kursus and latihan if u are from b2 to B full.

i did my license like 3 years ago.

i could finished it early but due to laziness and time constraint (working and all) i skip like almost a year to do my license.

mine was only rm560 minus u have to renew your L license yourself.

Does schools open on weekends? Or do I have to take AL to attend classes?

metro academy is open on weekends for classes and the 6 hour course.
May need to check with them for better info.. I notice some students learning B full when I went to collect my license after passing. It was a saturday

Most places offer classes on weekends subject to availability due to the high demand for weekend slots.

My wife took leave to clear some classes on weekdays. Less demand means she gets to pick her bike (some of the MT07s there hv rock hard clutches which she couldn't manage well).

yes they do but slots tend to be limited, need to make booking in advance compared to weekdays.

nope....
nope, i got CDL need tambah class, i've passed my computer test d, will get L then still need practical for B2 ya....
i wish it's just computer test then i'll get B2

Some do. But they will be busy with limited slots. I had most of my practice on Saturday.

But in actuality, you don't "really" need that many hours if you have a bike and been riding during your "L" period. Most of the test is pretty easy with the exception of the titi, but that is more about nerves and lack of confidence than anything else.

I pass my JPJ exam on 1st July for B full...

Congrats!

My wife passed her QTI this week.

Her B Full JPJ test is Thur next week. Then we can finally get rid of those fugly L plates on her 700 CL-X.

is it very difficult to get a B full licence?

I am planning to get a licence, but I am unsure of which one to go for, B2 or B full? any advice?

if u plan to get big bikes in future straight go for B full, don't waste money to tambah class and waste time

depend on your bike....last time when i went and got my lesen there was still a B1 class for 250 cc to 650cc.....now i dont see anyone talking about B1 lesen...maybe they just join in together in B full....so just look at what bike u have/getting...if its a motor below 250cc just get the B2 lesen...if it is 300cc 400cc then just get the B full one.....

It only feels difficult in the beginning, will become second nature the more hours you put in.

Ya, that's one thing that i'm considering, at the moment i am only getting a 125cc bike and idk if i will upgrade my bike/get a bigger cc bike in the future.

So that's why i am contemplating if i should just get B2 or just go for B full, assuming the extra few hundred bucks is not the issue.


Are they significantly different from each other during the class?
I know, practice makes perfect....

just go straight for the b full if ur having this kinda thoughts... itll just make it easier for u in the long run and u can ride any bike without worrying about the license.

i took a b full immediately and rode a kapchai for 20 years before upgrading to a 250 for 2 years.... and after that only i got a big bike that would need a b full license... hahahahahah

The biggest difference is.... you have to learn how the clutch works and how to use it, esp for low speed control.

Apart from that, it's the bike's weight although the MT07 is pretty damn light for a middleweight bike.

School will assess your ability to ride a B2 bike first before letting you handle the big bikes, so you will start with B2 bikes regardless.

not for me, told the institute and the instructor i have never rode a bike before and only 3 times as pillion rider and they told me to go with the er6n, adrenalin rush all the time

Well... If your school has a lot of big bikes that may be the case, even though you most likely could still ask to be on kapchai first. With only 3 er6n at my school they can't afford to let inexperienced riders drop them... Otherwise they risk themselves having no bikes at all for practice and test.

just go for B full straight ah..
don't need to waste time later wanna upgrade need to re-take the test or whatnot..
just get B Full straight.. save time..
not fun dealing with the driving school and those instructors so many times ah.. 1 month time settle all once and for all is the best

If you've driven a manual car before and know how it works, then its pretty much the same.. for B full its all about the clutch work and balancing the bite point in my experience
didn't need much gas to be honest other than doing the emergency braking and moving to other test obstacles


though my instructor did give me like 2 class of riding B2 kapchai first to get use to the experience of cornering and just riding basically.. up to 40km/h
then remaining 2 classes I rode B full bike (z650) and learn part 2 and 3 (obstacles and otr)
passed on my first try..
dropped the bike once.. failed to carry it back up without help.. lel weaksos..

overall pretty fun eh.. I prefer clutch work over B2 bikes cuz its all about the gas and wrist control..
sometimes the bikes in the driving school are kinda funky.. so clutch is easier for me

If money is not an issue, just get the full B test. It will be cheaper in the long run in case you want to ride a bigger bike in the future.

As for difficulty, about the only difference is clutch control. If you can drive a manual car, you'd probably figure how to ride a clutch bike pretty quickly.

The weight is not too much of an issue, the newer z650 that metro uses are pretty light and have very low centre of gravity. Plus the engine is tuned to idle very high to avoid stalling.

In fact the z650s there are much easier to ride slow than my dominar.

About the only thing difference is on the slalom, B full has 5 cones, while B2 has 7 cones (tighter). Most people mess up on the titi anyway, but that is more about jittery nerves than bike type or balance skill.

mine didn't, just told me to hop on the ER6N and play around with it.

haha my exact thought too. cos now i'm only getting my new 125 cc bike as a start, so wondering if i will get addicted and get a larger bike in the future.

Yup guys, i will go for B Full license straight. I like driving manual cars and can handle one easily, I guess it's not an issue for me to handle a clutch bike too.

get it once and for all is the most ideal situation. thank you so much..

if you're not influenced/pressured by your friends into riding, then very likely you will be addicted and will want to get a larger bike after a while

hahaha this i'm not sure.....

but, when i was a kid, i always dreamt of having my own, but being brought up in a cainis family, you know lah....

until recent years when i have an eye on fun bike, i've always been wanting to get one, due to various reasons, it was withheld until now.

until recently, i got a new number plate for some reason (i already have a car, 2 yo, so I'm not changing car, and my number plate on my car is also very nice one), so i have this spare plate that I will need to put it onto a motor within few months. so this renewed my interests in getting a fun bike.

found one last week, booked it and probably bringing it back in the next 1-2 weeks.

now, one thing i'm not too sure is if i would get myself a larger bike in the future

P/S: i booked the smallest z series and i've been looking into the larger ones now. LOL..........

Same here, typical bike is dangerous mindset, I regret not learning how to ride earlier, still impressed with how convenient a bike is for shorter distance travel, opened up a lot of possibilities.

On the flip side, I also feel that it's good for myself to learn how to ride when I am more mature, so I can ride safely and responsibly, young me could very possibly get into accidents.

yup, agree with you. need to practice riding defensively too....
