First MOT for offroad bike
Discussion
TvrJohn said:
Have a UK Yamaha WR450 with headlight and tail light no number plate light, no horn, no speedo mileometer fitted but broken, has main beam and dip headlight no indicators
What do i need to pass an MOT ?
If the rules haven't changed, you need number plate light (which you can take from tail light), brake lights for front and rear (universal switches are a couple of quid each) and horn (can be a squeezy manual one if easilly accessible and loud).What do i need to pass an MOT ?
Indicators are not required if not fitted as standard (as far as I remember).
Speedo and odometer needed but don't need to work, or should I say, I've never had them tested on hundreds of bikes I've put through an MOT over the years.
It'd be worth a quick call to a bike test station (that you're not going to) for clarification on the above

Don't think you need a no plate light if it's daytime only MOT? so you only 'need' a horn & speedo but not sure about the odometer or brakelight?Indicators are not required if not fitted as standard (as far as I remember).
Speedo and odometer needed but don't need to work, or should I say, I've never had them tested on hundreds of bikes I've put through an MOT over the years.
But as you say speedo/odo never actually tested and a £5 battery powered bicycle jobby would do.
Make sure the tyres are not marked 'offroad use only'............
