well yeah, that's what I saidXphyral wrote:depends on your MOT tester, most of the criteria is open to interpretation by whoever is doing the mot and some places are real monkeys where as others use a little more commonsense. My bike is always mot'd with a race can on because the tester i use doesnt think it's worth sending me home with a fail just for a can, it wastes his time with the re-test and mine. he just asks if i have a standard can at home..deviant wrote:
If it's a non-original system and it's not stamped as 'not for road use', then the tester is allowed to use their discretion. If it's a bit louder than standard, they'll probably be fine - there's no actual noise test. If it's making the plaster fall off the walls of the workshop, then you'll be very lucky to get is passed.
