If the main beam works, but not the side light?

Yes, just change the bulb.

Is there a sidelight setting on the switch?

If so - check the headlight bulb - it could be one with several filaments that does sidelight/dipped/main beam all in one unit. Maybe one filament has gone. Confused

Hey,

No you don't need a side light for your bike to pass its MOT.

My GPZ400R has passed the past 3 MOTS without a sidelight. The bulbs in the headlight, and theres a switch for a sidelight but it is not connected up. Nothing has ever been mentioned about it.

Cheers,
Shaun.

I was under the impression that anything that was on the bike had to be in full working order?

When i took it in all he did was check dipped and main beam. Its been to 3 seperate garages and all have passed it through. Last time it failed on worn brake pads and that was it.

i thought it was essential because cars have to have them!! but there is nothing in my head light to put a sidelight in!!! it must be legal to not have them!!!

Front fog lamps are not tested on the mot. Laughing

Fitted or not.
As for the focus, the indicators should flash amber even if they look a different colour. I'll find out in about 2 years when i get one in for mot. Laughing
