Discreetly watch second bike TA 650 going though its MOT and I know that chain brings out worst of tester's OCD as it was marked as loose in advisory last year. I know it's in perfect condition and correctly tensioned but for him it's a fail for too slack. So he kindly gets the tools out and tightens it and passes it which is all shown on the new MOT paperwork :-)
Riding away stange noises are emitted from down by left foot. So when I get home promptly reset it back to how it was and all is well - I'm happy - the tester is happy! I'll still go back to him as he means well and is thorough in his own way.

That's actually quite short for a saga, john.
Can you pad it out a bit?
It's a chapter, not a book.
We'll struggle to get an episode commissioned by channel 5, and there's no chance of a series.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My theory, I think the problem is some testers forget to take into consideration how much slack in the main drive chain is taken up with the weight of the rider on board,

I had the same comment made at my last MoT. Sat my fat butt on the bike and showed him the tension, all was well.
