The "Will the KTM pass her MOT" thread... - SV650.org

So...

I've been out of the UK on and off since AR11, now we're coming back to the UK in time for AR13

The mighty KTM has sat in the garage pretty much untouched. not even much use since the big trip to Morocco in 2010:

She'll need an MOT to get to the AR, last time she went for an MOT she blew a hole in the exhaust half a mile from the centre - tester's face on arrival said it all...

She's been on an Optimate 24/7, and twice when I've been in the UK she's fired up first time without any issues

So, in best Banzai tradition:

It'll go all european and lunch itself

Thanks for the vote of confidence dude...

Oh, and by "Advisories" I'm not counting the one she get's every time we go in:

andrewsmith · 05-06-13, 09:10 PM

Should say a little bit ghey

DJ123 · 05-06-13, 09:12 PM

Rear exhaust noisy, as opposed to the front exhaust

You get advisories for what my tester considers an essential safety feature!

Strange people in that there south.

Yes, I have faith my friend (I will find religion and pray for you)

jambo · 06-06-13, 10:52 AM

I'm going to go with yes, because I want you to get to the AR.

Absolutely no problem whatsoever, I asked my faith healer to pray for it and he assures me it will be better than ever, only £25 too - bargain MOT prep money that is.
