Where the bike hit the floor the handlebars now hit the tank on the right side, this appears to be due to the stopper on the yok now having been bent back a bit and a small piece breaking off.

Will this be an MOT issue do you know?

For those out there looking for a new challenge, to lose weight or to just learn something new then have you thought about Taekwon Do? Hear is my Taekwon Do Training Diary as it is a great thing to take up. Great excercise, ethos as well as self defense.

Hi Ninja Warrier

Yes, this is an MOT failure. Basically I think the rule is that if your handlebar can touch the tank then it is a failure. The principle is that otherwise you are riding along and do a sidden movement (probably in the process of crashing Crying ) and your hand could get caught in between the handlebar and the tank.

You can imagine what kind of force there is and what it would do to your hand ThumbDown
