minimum mot requirements?
 

I think I'm gonna put an mot on my race bike for use by myself or to aid future selling. I am gonna put some small lamps on front and led rear with mini indies but my question is do I need the following-
Folding pegs
Mirror/mirrors
Side stand(I have it, don't want to cut race fairing to fit it)
Rear brake light switch(i heard only one has to work?)
Cheers whitty.

Go to Grizzleys. The lads will help you with minimum requirements ;)

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

you dont need lights at all, if you run a daytime mot

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

side stand, yes or how are you supposed to park it up

if the switch is there it must be active e.g. lights including flash, side, lo and high beam. this also includes indicators. no lights then daytime only MOT.

number plate light and registration plate.

both front and rear brake light switches have to be working.

although you can get a mot with out lights,there is no such thing as a daylight mot,and you may find it difficult to find a garage to give you a mot with out lights

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

I believe you need a rear brake light, horn and number plate and that's about it.

Don't think the sidestand is needed per se but it will be a pain in the *rse without one.

All wiring and switchgear still in place so easy to fit some, plus I work shifts so if I go to work on it at least one way will be in dark. Reason I ask about both brakes working the lamp is I have rearsets on with no switch provision. I know I can get an inline one but do I NEED to? I could leave lowers off and fit stand I suppose but generally lean bar end on a wall in gear when not on paddock stands. What about mirrors and pegs?? Ps, like how you use 'per se' and 'pain in the *rse' in same sentence Chris.lol

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

number plate light came under construction and use regs, not MOT. Dunno if thats changed recently. wouldnt fail an mot, but plod might give you a tug.

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

Will have one, I've found an 'E' marked rear led unit on eBay combining stop/tail/no.plate in one.

Re: minimum mot requirements?
 

You don't need rear pegs if no rear seat is fitted. Mine has passed MOT's at two stations with fixed front pegs ( Gilles ). Why do you think this may fail it ?
