Taking the A2 Test on your Own Bike?

[Ted]

I did start a thread not to long ago about the 33bhp test but I can't be bothered to drag it back out!

We decided I needed to put a speedo on my bike before doing the test. But the other thing I noticed the other day was that my fork seals are leaking, again.

They are not leaking too badly, just seeping, and its only the right one. I've only just had them done (about 2-3 months ago), but the forks are pitted so they are getting knackered already.

As long as there is no fork oil running down the side of the fork, are the training people/testers likely to refuse to take me out on it?

Providing the bike is roadworthy, legal and safe there should be no reason why your school should refuse to take you out.

On test, the examiner will check certain things prior to commencing the test, but leaking fork seals is not one of them.

Ah, thats cool. Wasn't sure if leaking fork seals would class the bike as un-roadworthy...

I past my test a few years back on a 125, with leaking fork seals.

Make sure it has a reflector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the examiner can and will refuse to take you out if he finds something wrong with your lights, if you have a leaky fork seal make sure you give it a good wipe when you park up at the test centre.

Take a spare bulb kit to if he asks you to check your lights as 1 of the pre test questions and find any bulb not working he will refuse to carry out your test, you will also need a mph speedo kmp speedos where banned for use for the bike test.
