gsxr renegade Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Does anyone know if a bike will fail an MOT because of a dent in the frame? It’s nothing major, just a very slight dent where the forks have contacted the frame in a crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weemonster Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think its one of those things that. yes it should fail but will the tester notice it or fail it for it? prolly not. I remember reading years ago in PB in a Blade buying guide If it does fail the slap a frame protector over the dent. if they cant see it they cant fail it.

fatfuk Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think its one of those things that. yes it should fail but will the tester notice it or fail it for it? prolly not. I remember reading years ago in AN ARTICLE IN SOME OTHER MAG. If it does fail the slap a frame protector over the dent. if they cant see it they cant fail it. Fix that for ya before some one comes along to spank you. As for the aforementioned question then it depends how deeply boshed the frame is. My frame has a little war wound in the same sort of place and it hasn't failed an MOT yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollygiant Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I seem to remember that unless it's creased or a weld it cracked it will pass But as said stick a frame protector over it and jobs a carrot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
