The bike failed on a poor front tyre Wall splitting, Chain to lose and to tight (so have ordered a new chain and sprocket set) and missing rear torque reaction arm brake split pin ,so not to bad i think for a gs500 `94-95 model.

What do you think

A little split is a fail.. could easily expand whilst riding and resulting into more serious problems.

The condition of tyres and chain are basic checks. How did you miss them? Karma

No need for a course

MOT Guide

When the only thing that keeps you upright is rubber and it has a split...... Embarassed

I took my bike in for an mot knowing it'd fail. I was planning to fix it myself and I wanted to know what needed doing. So I took it in, it failed, I fixed the things it failed on, and then it passed on the free retest.

Two of those are things you should be checking weekly as a minimum for your own safety.
