Hey all,
Well it's winter and I'm planning a few little mods and updates to my sv650.
Starting with chopping the rear mudguard which houses the reg plate light.
I've search online buts it's all a little vague if a motorcycle requires a plate light or not.
I know I need a red reflector but what about a white light.
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Cheers
A mate of mine has a daytime mot and doesnt have a light, you could always fit one of the led type ones, keeping it small.
My current and previous never had them and it was never an issue
I would assume so, as you need them for your cars MOT unless you are going for a day MOT , ring up a motorcycle MOT station
vague, probably at testers discretion

I dont have one on my bike, i just stick a reflector on for the mot.
If it has lights or light switches they need to work and be complete. Often a tail light will illuminate the number plate so no additional light is needed.
There is no such thing as a daytime mot. They just test what is fitted at the time.

Yes there is marmalade, as my mates bike is basically a track bike with a number plate and can only be ridden in daylight hours.
My bikes do not have lights, you do not get a daytime Mot just an advisory to say "lights not fitted at time of test" do not use at night or in poor visibility

According to VOSA there is no need to have a working light or a light fitted to illuminate the reg plate, a reflector is needed and that is all.
Number plate just needs to be present and legible. Otherwise there would be thousands of mopeds and 125's failing it!
