Title: M.O.T Questionn :)
Post by: Kinggy on 06 June 2012, 08:01:49 pm

Anyone know if my fazer needs sidelights to pass mot ??  Don't think they've ever worked since i've had the bike and this is the first mot i'm giving her.. I have working headlights ( low & High beam ) And there's obviosly no parking lights involved so in my opinion I don't see why I should need them but obviously I don't have a clue :/


Any Ideas ??

if its an early one (twin square lights ) it does have a side light in the bottom of one of the lights,easy to change if the bulbs gone,not to sure if its a later model  :)

from the mot testers manual "A motor bicycle (with or without a side car) fitted with a headlamp need not have a front position lamp (but must have one on the side car, if a side car is fitted)."

however I'm pretty certain that any light that is fitted, must work... so if its a square eye, then it'll need fixing - as red says tho, I dunno either about the foxeyes...

The foxeye has a pilot light in each one. i.e. 2 pilot lights.

this is from the latest mot manual http://www.motuk.co.uk/mcmanual_110.htm (http://www.motuk.co.uk/mcmanual_110.htm) the only fail if the bulb that is working is the wrong colour,not if it is not working or not

Sorry guys I forgot to mention ( Stupid me ! ) That mine has had a subtle streetfight... So I have the twin headlights on it.. But judging by the comments on this it does appear that hopefully it'll get through when there're not working.. Cheers :)

From past arguments with MOTers the basic rule is "if its there its got to be working!"
