Failed MoT :(
Took me bike to get MoT'd and failed on 7 things :O,
one was exhaust excessive rusting, so buying a new stainless steel one tomorrow, that gets rid of two.
one of the points i find odd. (Front position lamp missing [1.1.1a] )
dont have one on bandit and that past :S anybody bodged this up? had a look at morris lamps and mine are diff.


other stuff is easily fixed,
but one thing im struggling with this didnt happen till the MoT tester started to jump up n down on bike,
Started to make a loud creeking noise from bad end. had a good look but i carnt pin point were it is coming from
bike is a 1992 GK73a

Re: Failed MoT :(
Id get the wd40 on it (plenty) if that dont fix it its prob one of the bearings in the linkage.
Regarding the lights im sure they have adjustment, download the parts list from the manuls section and see if everything matches the diagram.

ive sprayed loads of WD40 on there, not had chance to go back yet though, so many linkages dont know witch one lol. could do with axel stands, got front n rear paddock stands but they wont do.
