You can get a handbook from your state DMV but if I were you I would just go and pay attention. There not there to hurt you but help you to ride safe. They'll have all the stuff you'll need.

Congrats on taking the class....it is worth it and alot of fun!!
Pay attention to everything in class, you will be tested on it the last day!!!
Also, I forgot to bring rain gear....wish I did because they didn't cancel the driving part and I spent hours doing obstacles in wet clothes...it was miserable...lol!!
I also watched the Learn to Ride the Easy Way video and that helped me out alot....I practiced alot at the local high school parking lot before class....glad I did because I would have probably been lost.
Good Luck and Happy Riding!

Nothing to study beforehand. You will need to study the DMV laws to take the written portion after you pass the MSF. The rest of the stuff is provided during the MSF class.

I wouldn't study anything.
You want to go in with a clear mind and open to everything they tell you.
If you think you know how to do it better, you will have issues in the class.

They are geared for people that have never ridden a bike before, so it will go over everything. even the kickstand and gas cap.
