Re: Muvvvwww MOT
I often wonder why people worry about bike MOT's so much ..... surely with a bike, most of the things that are likely to cause a fail are immediately obvious when cleaning/maintaining - bearings, brakes, tyres, lights & horn ...... the one that I usually forget and resolve with a £1 purchase on the day is the rear reflector 
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Rear brake needs bleeding, got my "aherm" integrated indicator back light thingy on. Bit of a grey area that one.

No grey area mate, they're illegal - construction & use regs apparently say indicators at the rear of the bike must be 280mm apart, spaced equally from the centre-line of the machine ...... just hope for an "understanding" tester ......

Re: Muvvvwww MOT
Yeah heard on another forum New regulation has been sent out saying integrated rear lights are to be failed and led rear clusters must not have more than 4 lights out either 
IT'S ONLY METAL HIT IT HARDER !!!!!!!
Re: Muvvvwww MOT
KTM's in for its 2nd MOT this morning aswell and a new rear hoop. Still haven't got around to fixing the number plate bulb from last year he mentioned (not that its a MOT requirement) Should pass no problems. Not sweating but then again its not a Triumph is it!!! ;) 
Re: Muvvvwww MOT
Intergrated rear lights are a failure as creates a major interferance with the rear light,
As for 4 leds a failure, in cars I know its 50% of the light so dont know how true this is,

And its a pass (with no advisories)! 
Rear brake pads are still the originals, and as he started to loosen the rear wheel I had terrible thoughts that the friction material might of become detached from the backing plates like they had when I removed the front wheel a few months ago. Luckily all still in one piece. Have to get some new ones soon though
