Engine spacer has been mentioned at last 3 MOT's but as I do so few miles it always been advisory. One day its going to fail I guess, get the feeling the bolts not going to shift easily. Have WD40'd it several times just in case.

Engine spacer? How can an engine spacer "fail"? It's an inert lump of metal? I've never known an engine mount raised as an issue in a bike MOT ......

I'd be interested to see a photo of said failing spacer, if you have one?
