My Sportster passed with an advisory on noisy exhaust.

Bit different to exhausts, but I was a bit peeved when my F650 was MOT'd last year and got an advisory for a slightly bent handlebar... The last 7-8 years of previous MOT's all passed and had no advisories whatsoever.
Looking at the state of the bike, which is pretty good, I'd say the handlebars have been like this for a fair few years now - no signs of the bike having a recent drop. I've had it for a year now and not dropped it either.
The guy also said they aren't bent much and don't really need replacing unless I'm noticing it - well I didn't chuffing notice it at all until he mentioned it! And why put it as an advisory if it's hardly noticeable? The only thing that does is give a buyer an excuse to kick down the price if/when I come to sell it... ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.
(7 year gap), BMW F650 (Relaxing ride). Aprilia Caponord ETV1000 (Big and bold). Yamaha FZS600 (got me in trouble too quick!).
Current: Yamaha TDM 900 (Comfy, light but big, power when needed). |

It also means that if DVSA Derek is lurking in the shadows and decides to spot check your bike as you leave, the tester can't be hauled over the coals for missing something he should've noted.
They've been having a major clamp down on testing standards in the last 12 months, with pretty spectacular results (can't remember the exact figures, but something like 5 times as many testers have been suspended as were in the last 5 years put together) so there will be a fair few testers getting ultra picky, especially if they've already been visited (they tend to get visited again, to make sure you've learned your lesson) or they've got wind that the gestapo are in the area. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
