imexian Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxbikes Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 your right totalshell oddly enough speedo not needed, but I thought it needed one to ride on road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantnick Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 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.

andy m Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelewis Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim999 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
