koevoet Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 My 315R is due its first MOT at the end of the month. The front light and the horn are all disconnected (have been since I bought the bike in may),there is no rear brake light.What is the scoop for the MOT I believe that I can get a daylight MOT but must the horn work and the speedo be connected (also disconnected when bought,but apart from a cable I think that I have the bits to get that going!).The bike is road legal hence the MOT. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully recieved. Oh and Happy New Year all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie stokes Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) yes you can get day light mots but i think you need a spedo and a horn at a minamum oh and not shure about a rear brake light think you might need it on tho your best bet wold be go to the mot test station and ask there Edited January 3, 2007 by jamie stokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty_trials Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ive been told all you need for a day MOT is... A number plate A horn Road legle tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
should know better Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have an old 348 which carries an MOT and my understanding is that the bike must have the following: Number plate, brake light (as it is capable of more than 30mph), horn, speedo, legal tyres and all the other normal bits. Don't forget anything that is on the bike must work so the headlight must either work or be removed. Hope this is of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koevoet Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the help folks, I have not had a chance to look into this as I am out of the country just now. I had hoped that I would not need a rear brake light as there is not one fitted,there used to be provision under the highway code for hand signals....... will need to look at the horn wiring when I get back too,the speedo is fitted but needs a cable and the drive fitted too.wil try and find a friendly local garage.

koevoet Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Bikes booked in for saturday morning,had a wee wordy with the bloke at the garage, hes happy as long as the horn works (need to fix that this week!) and I fit a rear reflector and get a rear facing number plate (YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE,ready to fit). daylight MOT...so stick duct tape over the headlight to save removing it and tape over the switch gear so it cant be used " what you do five minutes after you leave here is nothing to do with me" still got to pass though,lets not get over confident..
