Over-reliance on the front brake, which is a trick that can get newbies killed. As you probably know, one then spends a lot of time as an intermediate motorcyclist learning to use the front brake enough. Nonetheless, I approve of the MSF's training bent, as they're not really teaching you to be a skilled motorcyclist, they're teaching you how not to die while you spend the years it takes to be a skilled motorcyclist.
Also, focusing almost exclusively on the area about 3 feet in front of my front wheel, instead of appropriate distance scanning and frequent regard for my mirrors and sides.
I think there were a few others that I can't remember any more.
