mot advice

[WR6133]

whilst we have an MOT thread going, my bike has the FI light permanently lit up at the moment due to the butterfly valve in the exhaust stuck open. is this an MOT fail?

Shouldn't be it's not mentioned here http://www.motuk.com/bike/7-1.asp#Menu_Top

You'd be surprised what you can get away with and pass an MOT. I passed my last one with debaffled, unmarked pipes and a bent gear linkage where I had to use a leatherman and a hammer infront of the garage to put the bike in neutral (dropped bike and bent gear linkage day before MOT), they just put an advisory as "Gear linkage slightly loose".

Sound guy - always makes me feel at home (Tea e.t.c. Whilst I wait)
I had my valve clearances checked (he cleaned my air filter & plugs as an extra - which he didn't charge me for)
Lots of knowledge and skill - he even re-spokes wheels
I Heartily recommend Phil
