Afternoon all

Had my gen 2 mot'd today and passed..... But a question arose?

When I turn my bars lock to lock there is very little room left for my hands. The chap at the mot garage said he would ignore it but apparently it's a fail if you cannot retain complete control of the bike at full lock.

Is that the case and if so, is it a case of 'they all do that sir' (bit like the rear brake etc)?

Cheers all

Depends what he deems 'full control' I know on my Gen 1 that unless I borrowed Jeremy Beadles hands there's no way I can operate the indicators, lights, horn etc, but can just about pull the brake and clutch.
Did he explain what he meant by his comment?

He said there had to be sufficient room to operate all the controls and be in full control of the vehicle..... He turned a blind eye any way. I wouldn't mind but it's not as if I have changed anything!

I don't think you'd be wanting to operate any buttons when on full lock,chances are you'd have more immediate concerns.

I know what you though,clearance is really tight on my bike as well. Not helped by ethanol causing the tank to deform slightly I would think.
