mot

well, after much fiddling and waiting for parts I finally finished my mille - for now- took it for mot and it failed: why? well I put a new chain and sprockets on 16/44 and he said that there was not enough clearance between chain and lower fairing! is this right? Also before I took it in for...

Reluctantly selling my Mille after 7 years of ownership. Having had many motorcycles this has certainly been the most fun and I'd certainly buy another RSV. The bike is: 2002 (52 plate) 28k miles MOT to 20th Feb 2016 HPI Clear 2 sets of keys Upgrades: Renegade exhaust (comes with...

Hi all my T is due mot end of month and I was wondering the best place to get mot and possibly a service in Glasgow or central scotland :dunno

Comes with one years daytime MOT :devious Bike has had 2 former keepers and covered around 8000 miles. (I took the battery out to charge and it has reset the clocks....appears to be a common feature on the 2004 model) The body work is obviously after market and in presentable condition. Saying...

Hi all, yet again have I scraped through the MOT with an advisory on the rear brake. I think the only reason I'm passing is cos the tester knows my bike now and is expecting the issue. I'd like to rectify it once and for all so that I can use it. I don't have the budget or want new rear sets...

Hi There M.O.T's I have fitted led indicators to my bike, but the dash bulb when connected made it work in a strange way putting three on etc at the same time because it was not an led. I have fitted a sounder flasher unit with an annoying beep instead. Q: will this pass an MOT if I put a...

Hi all gonna take me bike to the local commercial fitters who also mot bikes tomorrow afternoon do you think its worth changing me titanium Akro can over to the OE can just for peace of mind will be a bummer if they fail it for the can bein too noisey as the Akra dosn't have any BSAU stamp...

I have here for sale my 2000 Aprillia RSV Mille, genuine reason for reluctant sale. I have owned this motorcycle since January 1st 2010. I aquired the Mille from a gentleman who had brought it over from the USA when he moved to the UK in September 2009. Since owning I have maintained it...

My 2003 Mille failed it's MOT today. :( Notchy feeling in the steering. Is it possible to adjust the bearings to fix this? The bike has an Ohlins damper (from the RSVR) is it possible that a problem with this could be mistaken for a bearing problem? If I need new bearings then where can I...

Unusualy I'm not that fussed about my MOT tomorrow. Bike feels spot on really, I just clicked that I need to adjust the play in the throttle cables as there a tiny bit turn before you feel the resistance. Any tips? Ta

my mot is due soon and i have a cracked headlight, due to having to watch the pennies at the moment i got to thinking if i put some real dark lens covers on will it sneek through or do you reckon they'll be wise to my little plan ? I'm gonna get some anyway ( too late i know ! ) just thought it...

Ooooer well went out on the Wales ride out with no MOT. It was out by a few days. Good job we didn't get pulled is all I can say and asked to produce documents. All sorted now and the Tester wanted to me to sell my bike to him. Kept asking how much I wanted for it. Hmmmm shall I change it to a...

Took the mille for it mot today and they tried to fail it on the brake rivits for being loose, they said that there shouldnt be any play in the disc , i told them they are floating discs, they tried to tell me that the rivits were worn. i believe that they are bobins and not rivits so i argued...

How is braking assessed for mot is it combined front and back or separate as my back brake really does nothing !!

Can't think of any reason it will fail.... fingers crossed for me :)

well bikes been off the road for about 2 months as needed to sort the rear brake legal number plate and road legal can..... even tho the back brake is proper **** it still passed thankfully ... my biggest thing tho is riding the rsv to the mot station with the standard can !!!! what a...
