hey all i have a question (probably a stupid one but i will ask it anyway). Im doing my mod 1 on tuesday on my own bike which i a honda cg125 and im really nervous, not about taking the test but that the examiner will stop me doing the test because of the condition of my bike. it is in very good condition but at the moment it doesnt have a chain guard because some idiot thought it would be funny to smash it in one night Sad anyway do u think this will be a probem or not? do u even have to have a chain guard? thanks for reading Smile

Hi, i did my test on a very tatty CG that had the bottom chainguard missing. It will be fine. And good luck on your module.

It think hes talking about the top chain guard cover. If not im sure you can find a cheap one off a different bike and "make" it fit

As far as I am aware from an MOT of my little sr last year the chain guard isnt a legal requirement but if fitted has to be secure and not fouling the chain.

I've MOTd a bike without any type of chain guard.

Even if it would fail an MOT as a result, they'd probably still let you take your test on it.

Examiners are dense tbh. I sat my test whilst my bike didn't have a cable for the rear brake --> brake light, which is an MOT failure, instructor didn't notice even though when I done my u-turn the brake light wouldn't have illuminated.

As long as there are no jagged and sharp edges on the bugger it should be fine Thumbs Up

Missing chainguard was just an advisory on one of the bikes I have had MOT'd.
