    Bikes up for the MOT.

    So my rs50 is up for the MOT On tuesday,

    And i got a front tyre today which was £38.00 Which i thought wasnt that bad.

    So all that need done now is lights set and shes ready to rock.

    I will hopefully get her through but i dought the rear tyre will pass but i am going to chance it.

    I picked up one of these today for £3.00 Since my rear brake light isnt working,

    A question i have to ask about the rear footpegs,
    One of them,
    The little spring that clips in into place to keep it tight is broke so i was wondering if i get a cable tie and just cable tied it tight , would it be ok for the mot ?


    And the bike doesnt start of the key so i have a flick switch to switch her on and off, Would she fail for that ?

    dont think any of those points would be a fail, since you cant have a passenger on the back anyway you can just tywrap the footpegs up, shouldnt be a problem than.

    So i got everything right on the bike and was going to the MOT, And i head ths crunch on the road every so often wile going there and about 15 mins away from the mot then the back wheel started wobbleing about everywhere at the back and me doin around 50mph Got her pulled in fast and was lucky i wasnt threw off. The wheel bearing had completeley bust, so ill have to re test her

    the tnt clutch would be okay for a stock setup, but the polini one would be better for a modified bike, a rs50 with 70cc would probably make the tnt clutch slip
