MOT advisories

[Pem Brooke]

Had 2 small advisories on my Storm's MOT last September...cush drive and a bit of play in rear wheel bearing. Haven't done the jobs yet (only done about 1,500 miles on the bike since), but just interested to know if a test station will pass a vehicle that had unresolved advisories? I'm guessing not...

Get an inner tube, cut it into strips and put those inbetween the cush drive rubbers.
Check that the spindle nut is done up to the correct torque too, if so and the cush drive fix doesn't take up the perceived slack in the wheel bearings, get some new bearings fitted.

you don't need to show your previous mot when you go for a new one and the info isn't stored on the testers computer.

cush rubbers are fairly cheap to buy and wheel bearings aren't a big or expensive job, if they've been advised get them done, they'll only get worse not better.

It isn't hard to fit cush drive, and I would get the bearing done just to be safe.

Advisories are just that but some are worse than others, I've got one for the front tyre but it's fooked, you can see that

Why mess about, Honda original cush drives are about £50, aftermarket ones (which I wouldn't recommend) are about £30, wheel bearings are about £10 both jobs can be done at the same time and will take about an hour
