New bike, no clue

[Calum]

@dazzagtir It is not a legal requirement for bikes to have indicators. Provided there is no switch, or tape is over the switches, it eill pass an MOT.

@Calum yeah a bike can pass mot with no lights or indicators but the the thing is it's either all electrics or none as far as I know

[castrolsniffer]

Yeah daytime mot, but then u gotta be home by dark

[Calum]

@castrolsniffer Uuhh what?

No just tape over the indicator buttons.

As said don't need indicators on bikes.

The other one is that Day Time MOT is no different from a full MOT. Same slip just in the notes it'll say no lights upon inspection. Literally no reason why you couldn't, although probably shouldn't, fit lights to it once it passes. And then don't have to be in at night.

Ahhh thats very interesting to know, certainly put my mind to rest knowing I can actually take it out for a ride. I have been avoiding riding it as much as possible.
I have ordered some cheap £6 ebay indicators this evening so when they arrive I will fit them.
I will however put some tape over my switch tomorrow just incase I do get pulled over.

Indicators have never been a requirement, and I certainly don't have them on Enduro/Off-road bikes like the GasGas. Then it just becomes an inconvenience as the electrics add weight.

@Minia not only that but the slightest of brushes and they commit suicide

[castrolsniffer]

Nice one guys,you learn something new every day as they say,I've always known it as a daytime mot haha turns out there's no such thing

[declan]

@castrolsniffer yep day time mot is just an easy way of saying no lights lol

[dazzagtir]
