So then I gather it's an import. It was never fitted with a sidelight, therefore it should not be an MOT failure. Your tester is in the wrong. You only need a sidelight if the bike came out of the factory with one. Yours will have had running lights (twin element indicator bulbs). Take it to a proper bike MOT tester who knows his stuff, this guy obviously doesn't :down:


BTW, your username seems familiar....... :?:
