I'm in the process of importing my 2001 R1150GS into Switzerland. The final step is the technical inspection known as the Contrôle technique or Expertese.
The bike is well maintained, but I'm not clear what they will be inspecting and therefore what I might fail on. Couple of obvious things might be headlight alignment, or the fact that the speedo is in mph ( though it also displays kph)
So two questions.
1. Does anyone have experience of this and can advise on what I need to be aware of?
2. Is there a mechanic (In Western Switzerland) who can do a pre-inspection check for me?
