I took my 14 for a MOT today without remembering to do anything except clean the number plate first.

It failed as it needs rear pads  :doh: worst thing is I'd cleaned up the fronts due to a slightly sticky piston on friday & forgot to check the rears :facepalm:

Oh well, they are ordered from Wemoto now, so it'll get sorted by the end of the week. The el'cheapo pads from Wemoto are great, they out last & out brake (in all weathers) the EBC & other better* makes I've tried.

Your dog looks unimpressed  :stir:



I took my 14 back to get it retested this morning. It seems they prefer it with pads that aren't worn out & it's all good for the year.

Mrg

I washed mine yesterday to celebrate spring & then took for the MOT retest this morning, which it passed of course. So the obvious thing to do next was to go out for a bit & check washing it hadn't broken anything...

Despite the miles covered and age she still scrubs up well Hooli, I purchased one of the same year and model last year but with a lot less miles, yours gives me confidence that there is life in the old girl yet!

Do you mind? it's taken me over a decade of neglect to get it that bad!

TBH, apart from the fork lowers, engine covers & rear shocks most of it is pretty good. The only other bit that looks bad is the rear wheel, but that's due to a leaking bleed nipple throwing brake fluid over it years ago which wrecked the paint before I noticed.

Do they pass MOT with no chain guard in UK?

Mine has done for years since it fell off. I think the rules say it has to be secure, but not that it must be there.
