Just wanted to thank the members of BCF for helping me get a 13 month MOT on my bike with no advisorys. Thumbs Up

My bike has nearly hit the 25k mark and only needed the headstock bearings and rear wheel bearings to pass.

Another 3k and I would have done 20,000 miles on my little 125! The engine sounds as good as the day I bought it Smile

Thanks again guys!

if you test your bike one month before your mot runs out you get a 13 month MOT

10 out of 10.
Learner Bikes don't tend to wear well, and a lot of that is down to neglect, abuse and poor maintenance. Great to hear how with a little guidance, a bit of effort, and an open mind, the rewards are there, mate. Fresh MOT is a great feeling. Putting in the work yourself to get it makes it even better, don't it?

Yeah I'm quite lucky as the XR is built to last, It's 7 years old and aging really well. It's a very well built bike. Doesn't have the feel of a learner bike. Handles really well off road too Cool

Fairing bracket needs cutting down and hiding/protecting sharp edges with more gaffer. Hope it passes Laughing
