My bike has failed its MOT (surprise surprise) I knew it would because the suspension has been sh ite for a while. Just bounces when you push down on it like a spring, no damping at all.

It failed on:

Brake light doesn't light up immediately when brake is pressed
Front wheel bearings
Rear wheel bearings
Inadequate damping from rear shock
Indicator missing (didn't bother getting a new one before MOT as I knew it would fail anyway)
Front lamp missing (the one that comes on when you switch the lights to PO I think?)
Brake pads worn

So with that being quite a list... it's nothing diabolical I suppose, and I was wondering, could I fit a shock from an italian import NSR125 (FL model I think) to my TZR? (as I have one (and a half) of these sat in the garage).

It would just save me forking out £100 on a new rear shock.

Cheers guys.

You don't need these for an MOT as long as they are not fitted.

Indicator missing (didn't bother getting a new one before MOT as I knew it would fail anyway) https://www.google.co.uk/products?q=tzr+125+indicators&output=nojs
Front lamp missing (the one that comes on when you switch the lights to PO I think?) https://www.google.co.uk/products?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&q=tzr+125+front+lamp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=OMa1TJurCofQjAeo5pC3Aw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CDEQrQQwAg&output=nojs



Not to sure about the shocks but ask this guy for a deal https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/yamaha-tdr-dtr-tzr-125-rear-shock-suspension-project-/120632729374?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1c16455f1e

Wheel bearings are cheap and easy to fit https://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=dI3&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&q=tzr+125+front+and+rear+wheel+bearings&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=_MW1TIjtEM-TjAe27ay2Aw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CC0QrQQwAg&output=nojs, when tapping them in make sure you tap around the outer ring lightly using the old bearing placed on top of the new one before applying the hammer.

Break light switches are cheap. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TZR-125-e-reg-rear-brake-light-switch-/180573150317

So are the break pads. https://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=dwN&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&q=tzr+125+brake+pads&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=isW1TKKIBom9jAeN7uS-Aw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CDIQrQQwAg&output=nojs

Lets say nice little £150 to £200 project for you with a little work needed.
