will it Fail or Pass M.O.T ??

[Diabolus]

I've had the storm for nearly a year and MOT is due (test on Tuesday), the only concern are the Yoshi cans that are stamped 'not for road use', i'll cover that bit up with some carbon wrap.
If it fails i'll be asking vtr forum members for a standard set to borrow for re-test. Their 102db but I think they sound fine. Just a poll for fun

It's not the volume that will cause any problems (at testers discretion) but the marked Not For Road Use is a definite no no. It's whether you can pull the wool over the eyes of the tester with carbon wrap.

I had the same problem with my old Microns at MOT time - so the MOT tester ground & polished the stamping out before passing it. Problem solved

I believe it all to be a load of ******** the more noise a bike makes will make it be heard therefore safer period

As mentioned, depends on the tester at the end of the day!

Old CBR had one marked not for road use, covered it up with some electrical tape and the tester noticed, laughed and commented on how they're loud bikes anyway and passed it.

You need to adjust the poll with an extra option....'It depends on the tester.....'

had my art can with stamped not for road legal use 3 years now covered them up with some red tape just before mot time.all i have got from the tester is that there a bit noisy(incidentally do not think if the stamp is covered up they are allowed to remove the tape)

my cans are well loud, and my mot guy didn't care, as he said loud cans save lives....

every year , last week in fact i get an advisory on my quill,s. just says exhaust noisy.

[Diabolus]

PASS ! Just an advisory for 'slight play in rear
bearings' I saw a smile on the mot testers face when
he was reving the storm. I made a last minute
desision and dabed metal polish over the 'nfru'
stamp to hide it, don't know if it worked or he passed
it anyway. Nice bloke we had a chat about puncture
repair kits and how he runs a tyre for the rest of its
life on repairs till there bald.

Well done good news I have had tyres in the past with over half dozen patches/repairs. I think there is a legal limit of something like four. There are good and bad kits out there. But when done properly they work very well.
