Failed MOT - No k/ph reading wtf

[WherEmEweeD]

My digital speedo on my Yamaha Xt125 x 07 only shows MPH and on the actual screen the mph is printed on with ink....

I asked the guy how in the hell was i suppose to fix this problem and he said google it, i was like waaat da fook

The bike has never been mot'd as this is the first time i have had to but any help would muchly be appreciated as i just purchased my speedo to do the mot and now i fail for this mind boggled.

No speedo required for the MOT, it's not a testable item. Take it off, and it should pass.

(Is technically illegal to ride without one though).

Take it to another tester IMO, your one sounds like a Walter Mitty.

The man is a cock. Report him. FFS i can take in a bike with KPH and still pass and MOT.

He failed you because your clocks didn't say KPH??

Is that what is says on your paperwork too? I'd report him.

I have to agree with you guys i did leave my bike running longer than i wanted to in the mot centre because my gears where grinding lol

And to think i knew the guy from work exp i done in the mot centre.

So what am i to do just remove the speedo cable and re do it. or do you mean remove the whole digital reading unit cause the guy just assumed from the mph sign that it couldn't read kph therefore it was a fail.

when i asked about what i was suppose to do he started by explaining some device that could convert the mph to kph (on eBay) then it suddenly jumped to just google it.

I really don't want to spend much more on mot's so i would really like a pass next time.

Just remove it. They can't test it, and not required for the MOT anyway.

So you have mph in pen on the clock face? Simply get a piece of card,
write kmh on it and stick it on the clocks with velcro over the mph. Now you can display in both.

Here's the official MOT testing guide. Nothing is mentioned speedo wise.

Only going by the most flexi tester.

I got pulled for lack of speedo, he said go get it checked. MOT guy said "if you want a daytime MOT, we'll need a speedo, horn and a numberplate"

Either way... my CBR has MPH only. Go back to him and ask to see the legislation anyway

[stavros]

So what about old norton's bsa's etc.
They wont have dual readings on the old smith speedo's
where is the test centre so we can avoid.

Buttons dont work... superb for checking how many miles per tank

There should be a way to change it over on your screen, holding down the button or something, check your manual.

It works like that on mine and I helped you last time.

My TA started life in 2001 in Italy.

The Speedo is in KPH but has a converter on the back of the speedo and an MPH sticker over the original KPH text. Only one scale and has obviously had MoTs since being here for the last five years or so.

If not planning on travelling to a KPH country why would it matter?

It's C&U, not MOT.

Speedometers

35.—(1) Save as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), every motor vehicle shall be fitted with a speedometer which, if the vehicle is first used on or after 1st April 1984, shall be capable of indicating speed in both miles per hour and kilometres per hour, either simultaneously or, by the operation of a switch, separately.

So he's got no reason to fail it, but it's not legal for you to use it on a public road either. Go figure.

I'd demand an apology TBH. And ask for your MOT for free seeing as you've had to take time off work to go back again for a retest.

yes im in Northern Ireland.

Ok so i got the km/h reading on my speedo working by holding the mode button then it flicks on km/h.

Where do we go from here.. If i ring them to tell them my speedo is dual reading will they have to pass the MOT? Or will i have to pay for the retest.

Another thing i noticed is the km/h is underneath the printed MPH sign which is irritating and bad design flaw but then again i don't see why iam getting annoyed when i use MPH lol

BTW Cheers for all the info at least now i am well acknowledged about speedos
