MOT question - Lawrence - 09-08-12
Quick MOT question for you guys... is it a fail if the bars/controls touch the faring? On full lock left the throttle cables just about touch the faring because a little bit of the stopper thing is broken off.

If it's such a tiny amount can you not just move the bars so that it's a couple of millimetres away on full lock?
Re: MOT question - Lawrence - 09-08-12
That's a good idea, I could just rotate the bars in the mounts a bit... didn't think of that one :think Mate of mine welded a bit of metal on where the old bit broke off but that's snapped off too :\
Re: MOT question - Fazbaz - 09-08-12
I'm fairly sure that the lock-stops are part of the MOT test. I've heard stories of the repair superglue failing during the actual test.
I might be wrong and if not, you may be lucky and the tester will miss the fault.

Re: MOT question - Lawrence - 09-08-12
The stopper is still there, just one side (about 1/3 of it) has broken off... I reckon moving the bars back will clear it, just make it feel a bit funny to ride to the MOT center.

Like FazBaz says hopefully you may get lucky, but looking at this it should be part of the check:

I'll see if I can get a photo later on to show exactly what mine is like

clearence is part of the test,mostly clearence between tank and bars ,as already suggest,move bars to get a pass and then return to origanal position....or take a chance he may not spot it

Mine goes through touching the fairing due to a bent sub frame. The fairing is actually cracked due to this too.
The wording in the manual is for it to not interfere with the motion, if I remember correctly.
