Default Street Extreme - MOT

Anyone know if there is a problem with the MOT and Street Extreme?

Read something about needing to be EC marked, which if i remember from their website it isn't although it is road legal.

Anyone got any experience of this?

Bikes due in for MOT at Avuss on Friday, desperate to get out on it, the cars killing me.

Cheers

i'll be interested to hear the outcome of this one, as mine has no E mark either, but it won't require an MOT until 2010, let us know how it goes...

Has it not got a removable baffle?

If this is bothering you nip round to Avuss (amiable folk I've found ((but I ain't bought anything off them yet )) and ask them. Fail or pass?

A dealer failing a bike for an exhaust would lose my business .

I'd be interested on peoples views also, but, kept standard can and can easily slip back on if its a problem.......plus, won't be due until October 2010.......so don't need to worry yet.

There is no need for any marks to pass an MOT.

However, it must not be marked not for road use or similar.

There is no noise test. Simply a subjective assessment by the tester
