September 13, 201312 yr As title, What does it require? I have bike registered, a bolt on battery horn, a legal number plate. Insurance, Irc tyres on, brakes all good, clutch fine, Anything else? Can I take to get a pass? Ian
September 13, 201312 yr speedo,dont matter if not working.make sure frame no can be read,if riding down make sure your booked in,if no present tax or mot.
September 14, 201312 yr your right totalshell oddly enough speedo not needed, but I thought it needed one to ride on road?
September 14, 201312 yr Hi Delbert! Take it to ARK in sileby they are all bikers. You only need continuous tone horn, no reflector required., make sure your spokes are tight.When I took mine all they did was weigh it and pap the horn! Are you riding at rileys tomorrow? Nick.
September 14, 201312 yr No speedo needed for the mot test itself but you need one for the road, check the IRC's dont have "not for highway use" on them, if they do scrub it off. Obviously check s.arm bearings fork seals etc etc.
October 1, 201312 yr Horn, Number plate Rear reflector. There the three I needed for my Fireblade track bike so I can only presume its the same with a trial bike.
October 12, 201312 yr I was told you don't need a reflector for a day time MOT if the bike hasn't got lights fitted. If it has lights you need a reflector, if not, you don't. Horn can be battery operated so long as it has a continuous tone (i.e not an old fashioned horn that you squeeze). Ironically a speedo isn't required for MOT but you 'd be breaking the law to ride on the road without one. I was advised to get a wireless, battery operated mountain bike speedo (available on eBay for about 6 to 10 quid). Good thing about this type is they unclip when going off road but please Mr Plod if you get stopped. Either way, I'd check with your local MOT tester as from experience they all seem to interpret the regs slightly differently.
June 20, 201412 yr No, no lights, indicators or reflectors of any kind needed However, your tester may not realise or understand this
