Idiot lights and MOT

[P.]

Bandit 400, everything works now bar the idiot lights. Neutral light works, just no high beam/indicator. Is this a fail?

[J.M.]

Don't know about high beam.

Indicator idiot lights are needed if you can't see the indicators from normal riding position.

High beam need to stay on without holding the switch and lights for the lights must work.

Everything on the bike works 100% except when you choose left or right, nothing shows up on the dash, same with the high beam, they work as intended but do not let me know.

Use a sympathetic garage paddy, there is one on the industrial estate in Dartford.

I am not even sure you need clocks to pass do you?

my cbr125 passed with no dash lights bar the neutral light. Not saying this is always the case, just my own experience.

tape the other dials and lights (on dash) up and use just the speedo

The speedo in not part of the MOT, nor are the idiot lights (unless you have one of those weird vehicles with 4 wheels) with the exception of the indicator warning and then only if you can't see the actual indicators from the normal riding position.

Clicky for the VOSA MOT guides.

Speedo needs to be present. If you are caught without a speedo they'll force you to get an MOT.

I know this, I got a VDRS on my TTR C&U regs, but yeah, when I wanted my road legal pit on the road even the friendly MOT centre wanted a speedo attached.

But yeah, spoke with them today, just gonna tape the buggers up.

speedo isn't required for MOT,

I put the city fly through when it's speedo wasn't working and passed no problem, got it fixed couple of days later as was waiting on the speedo gear from dave silvers
