Headlight

[Macca2321]

I think i will need to change my headlight when i return back to UK in a couple of weeks.

The manual says and shows you how to change headlight around for UK...but am i right in assuming that this will not be good enough for an MOT? Which will be due in Feb 08.

Maybe someone got one begging for an 1150 Adv.

Working on my KMH/MPH problem now, think that side is sorted

head light

My 1150 is a german import, the head light has just been "adjusted" i.e. turned around no problems with mots ever, but have alook at the links as mine unlike britsh models has the oblong in the lens cocked to ojne side wilst
set up for the left hand side of the road. It is in the normal position for r/h driving.

You should be fine for an MOT. Provided your glass isnt cracked and the lights actually work. See bike MOT lighting requirements below.

LIGHTS

Of the 20% failure rate on bike MOT tests, over half are for defective lights. Quite amazing since these are amongst the simplest items to check yourself before going to the test.

The requirements are simple, and quite straightforward to replace or adjust, without the need of a mechanic.

HEADLIGHTS & TAIL LIGHTS must be free of chips or cracks; the headlight must also work on main and dip beam, the main beam must shine directly ahead and the dip slightly lower and to the left.

INDICATOR LIGHTS must all flash at a steady rate and the warning lights function properly.

If a HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM is fitted, all 4 indicators must flash at a steady uniform rate.

Bikes must have a red REFLECTOR on the rear of the machine, either bolted on separately or as part of the tail light lens.
