MOT - advisory

[Entertwainer]

just had first MOT for my CG125 - an over the phone advisory about the clutch lever being too short??
anyone know what this might mean? will obviously post up more info when i get the bike and the MOT document
just thought i'd put it out there for now.....

Unless it is clearly snapped off near the base and much too short...

You are supposed to have a ball on the end of the lever to stop it impaling pedestrians, maybe the lever is broken and that bit is missing?

If so, a ball of duct tape will do for MOT.

Or... could the lever travel or free play adjustment be too short/tight?

"Advisory" means just that. Ride it away, sort it or don't sort it.

It is actually a tested item, too much movement or snapped would more than likely give you an advisory.

As said above, the ball missing gets you an advisory if you have a particularly picky place.

How about too long? I've stuck new levers on my diversion, and they stick over the grips about a cm.
