    Just spoken to my testers.

    As long as they cant get caught up in anything or dont restrict steering movement they are fine.

    A couple of cable ties arent recommended but would secure a pass on the brake lines if your worried.

    ;-)

    Agree, I take mine to Bike Treads, and they usually do it straight away without an appointment.

    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?
