papa al Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How many bolts need be disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 What do these checks actually check. When you see the state of some motorbikes on the road it can't be too onerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The checks are actually quiet extensive, lights, brakes, noise, emissions etc. If you see otherwise its more a case of skipping the test and not registered.

kickstart Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 15 hours ago, steve187 said: i have to remove mine It depends on how old the bike is if it is more than 5 years old ,then yes you have to remove the side-car ,they now take photographs ,if the bike is less than 5 years no need. I had to remove the side-car from the wife's bike ,and also put the chain guard back on ,it should be in the original condition when it is checked ? The side-car is mounted in 3 places ,the side stand bracket ,the bike headstock ,and normally at the back on the rear grab rail ,not a difficult job ,our bike it was 4 bolts . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
