chain guard for mot?

[Pol Anorl]

Just curious as google didn't help too much, x11 has the 2 bolt holes for a chain guard but it dosen't have one attached...

I know the usual "safer innit" and such but wanted to know do you have to have a chain guard for its mot.

I believe so yes, based on this point:

The chain/belt must not have excessive slack and be in good condition, the guard must be secure and not fouling

However, you could read it as no guard = no problem.

My fazer passed last week and it had a missing bolt on the chain guard and they didn't say anything..

why the fuck would you not have a chainguard anyway? :/ I beleive a lot places will fail for it for the above but some may interpret as no guard, no problem

Had an advisory for no chain guard on the SR125.

will be fitting some eventually but the design of the x11 i can't imagine the chain getting anywhere near me lol.

guess i have to fork out £25 for a guard... or £50 for one with "x11" cut out of it

Advisory, not a fail.

Hi

For the MOT it should just need to be secure if fitted.

All the best

I've not had a chain guard/hugger installed on the ZX9 since my blow out which destroyed the hugger two years ago.

No advisory on either MOT from both a Honda main stealer nor a local bike garage.

Rule of thumb of an MOT is, if its there it needs to be secure. If it's not it doesn't count

Advisory; but is a legal requirement I believe.
The cop who was having a go at me for riding in shorts and a t-shirt explained this (I did know, but pleaded ignorance as "it just passed an MOT").
I think he was annoyed that he couldn't get me for no tax, as it was no doubt showing as untaxed and I didn't have one on the bike - but had a fresh one in my pocket from the previous day.
