I couldn't get booked in to my normal MOT place this week so I took it to another tester today and he gave me an advisory because the wheels were just slightly out of alignment.
I didn't realise it was an MOT check to be honest because I've never seen my usual MOT guy checking it. But I'm glad he spotted it so I can now get it perfect. ![]() Oh and I forgot to stick on the rear reflector ![]() ![]() |

Yes mine always checks. Infact my brother got an advisory for his wheel alignment but he has a braced eccentric swingarm which can be a bit awkward to adjust.

1 does it with a length of steel angle the other place just eyes it up. Mate races a CBR600RR and it was 3mm out on the adjustment marks. We use a vernier caliper to measure the gaps on the adjustment plates on the RS125 race bikes.

Is a vernier gauge a good (easy) way to check real wheel alignment? (NOT SV) | monkey | Bikes - Talk & Issues | 4 | 28-04-09 11:30 PM |
