Basic requirements for mot...

[jimbothe]

Can anyone please tell me the basic bits i need on the front end for a mot.

My zx has been giving me loads of troubles converting it to a streetfighter and now i think the only way is to minimise so i can get it through it's ticket.Once through i may retry a few ideas but i needed it back on the road yesterday

Obviously i have the lights/indicators on,the bits im concerned about are the tacho as in there isnt one and warning lights.

On most of the tachos or separate units the lights are there for neutral/oil/high beam.

I can make up something to house these with simple coloured led's if needed but wondered if it would go through a test without them and the tacho?

Any advice much appreciated

Speedo and repeater lights for the high beam and indicators will suffice.

I would say it probably has to be blue yes, I've seen OLD bikes with it in red but I wouldn't take the chance. You don't even have to have a seperate left and right repeater, as long as it flashes with the indicators.

take the piss and remove your entire engine!,

other points of note:

suspension (fork seals) leaky rear shock

more than 1.5mm on unsquared tyres

bars that are not too bendy like mine

working lights

brakes that work on the brake test machine

pads with visible amount of material (its supposed to be about 2mm but they generally can't be fucked to take out the pads and measure it).


oh wait I didn't read it right:

for £5 you can make any light work on your bike , not fixing it just wire up some wires to the battery and stick in some switches here and there, mine just have loose conncetions

but I;'ve seen dodgy wiring to make it work ie connect a wire from the bulb in series all the way up to the instrument panel, for both bulbs hey presto it works again.

Cheers for all the replies everyone,mine is newer than 86 so i guess it needs indicators.They are on there anyway so it's not a problem.I will have to get a winker sorted out though to show the indicators working.I have bought a blue light today for the high beam so it's slowly coming together
