Well I am almost ready for an MOT.
I found a really good website for advice on MOT checks. See my Blog Roll.
I went through and did my own MOT inspection trying to decide if there is anything the tester is going to reject. I still have lots of things which are not right for me but that doesn’t make them MOT failure points.
I fixed the increasing engine rpm as the handlebars were turned. Caused by the thottle cabling being incorrectly routed. I have adjusted the brakes and throttle and double checked the chain tension. I took a critical look at the forks. They have corrosion but are not leaking oil. Everything bounces up and down as it should. Steering is free with nothing binding and the wheels and bearing are all in good shape. No swinging arm movement where it shouldn’t be. Lights all work and don’t flicker if they are tapped and the headlight points in the right direction. Tyres are ok, not perfect but they have tread in the right place. Even re-fitted the crash bar.
All ready for a trip to the MOT station.
Hay its a nice blog regarding MOT. All the information is very helpful to have a good idea about what is MOT and how could it benefits us.
Well agreed with your points and approach. Pre-MOT checks can really help vehicle owners to understand about the condition of their vehicle.
