Aprilia RS125 pre mot check list
------------------
i cant really tell you how to do a thorough mot check , but ill
tell you what id do before an mot , i rarely have a failure.
in no particular order
check for play , wear , damage and correct adjustment :
check tyres
check chain
check sprocket
check cush drive for play
check rear and front brake pads and measure discs and top up brake fluids
check brake operation
check wheel bearings for play
check exhaust system over for leaks , holes etc
check forks over for damage . bend or pitting to chrome
check forks for correct operation
check fork seals for wear / leakage
check rear shock for leaks and any play up and down and side to side
check all indicators and bulbs are working
check number plate for damage
check free operation of steering
check steering head bearings for play
check speedo and clocks all work and illuminate
check all switch gear
no obvious leaks anywhere over the bike ?
runs and idles well
give it a thorough clean (id not like to mot a filthy bike)
make sure all cables etc are adjusted correct
generally clean and tidy overall well maintained bikes pass more easily
which is obvious but i am amazed at the state of some bikes i see at mot stations .
Buy engine rebuild parts here
er... thats all i can think of right now , if or when i think of more ill
update , motorbikes are very easy to mot ,
