MOT Advisory Notice
 

Just got the bike back from its MOT and it had an advisory notice, can anyone help explain what they all mean?!

1. Front Wheel bearings are slightly rough
2. Steering headbearing has slight free play
3. Swivel Plate - Steering movement slightly 'notchy'
4. Wheel Raised - Steering movement slightly 'notchy'

Any help!?
Thanks

judging by your avatar, it reads like your landings have been a bit rough.

Need to replace head bearings and wheel bearings!!! Dangerous if you don't do it

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
 

What exactly is a swivel plate?

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
 

That would most certainly explain a lot

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
 

If you're on an SV (possibly only applies to thine curvy)swap to tapered head bearings when you replace them. They're more hard wearing.

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
 

Exactly what is says.

Its a plate that they put the front wheel on to see how the steering acts with the weight of the bike on it.

(havnt seen it done in many MOT bays though )

And, to a point, removes the friction from the floor to allow a better inspection of headrace bearings.

Most testers don't use them as they aren't mandatory equipment in a class I or II station

Advisory is just that, the tester recommends you get it sorted sooner rather than later. If they were a major problem, most bike testers Ive met would have failed them as they are so important

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
 

My MOT place has one and have used it for every MOT they've done on my bikes


See above :)

Probably more worried about benelli build quality... ;)
