Find out which DMV office has the motorcycle riding test. Go there afterhours and practice on the obstacle course.
If you pass the MSF course, you won't have to do the driving portion of the DMV test.

You ride between lines. Then you ride slalom around some dots on the pavement. Then you ride in a circle. That's about it. If your motorcycle is enormous or heavy or not very maneuverable at slow speeds, see if you can borrow someone else's smaller motorcycle.
It's not very hard. It's just the same kind of practice thing you did when you were learning to ride the motorcycle.
My motorcycle engine died in the middle of the test, twice, and I had to to kickstart it (Honda XL350). I passed anyway.

You need to be able to make a u-turn both directions without taking your feet off the pegs. Then you need to do the slalom on the bike both directions. Speed is not important and you can go to your local DMV on sundays to practice it. You will need to know where things are on the bike throttle,front and rear brakes, turn signals, clutch, and kill switch. You will als need to know your hand signals, right turn, left turn, slow down.
That is all not too back takes about 10 minutes

No not really the whole test is done in a little white circle with about a 5 foot diameter.

Shake your booty. That move will get you past the driving inspector. Or get you a pass from the driving inspector.
