 MOT
Requirements
Not
only are damaged and underperforming forks dangerous
on the road, they are also an MOT failure. The conditions
of the MOT test require that:
- There
should be no oil visible on the fork tube or leaking
down the slider around the fork oil seal areas
- The
forks must be adequately dampened
- Fork assembly component must not be loose,
cracked, or excessively bent, misaligned or corroded
- Seals must not be compromised
- Forks
must
not demonstrate excessive stiffness in their movement
This
means that if any of the above symptons prevail your
motorbike could well fail its MOT as well as proving
unsafe to
ride on the streets.
