Re: MOT Advisory Notice
judging by your avatar, it reads like your landings have been a bit rough.

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.

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 ) Last edited by speedplay; 16-10-09 at 08:51 PM. |

Re: MOT Advisory Notice
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 |
