MOTORBIKE MOT & SERVICING

SERVICING, MAINTENANCE & MOTORBIKE MOTs

It is really important to remember your motorbike is road legal, and part of that process is an MOT test certificate, which is required every 12 months by law.

A motorbike MOT is not only about being legal, it’s about being safe! We impress upon our customers that a motorbike MOT tests covers some important items on your motorcycle for your safety and the safety of others, its function is to check that your bike meets the legal UK standards.

However, we also make the point that a motorbike MOT it isn’t the same as having your vehicle serviced on a regular basis, as an MOT doesn’t check a motorcycle’s general mechanical condition.

So, make sure you’re getting the best from your bike both in terms of performance and safety. We can provide you that comfort, by having us provide a regular service routine. Also, check out our Restoration Projects to better understand our experience!

Remember a Motorbike MOT doesn’t cover the condition of the following items, but we can!

  1. Engine
  2. Clutch
  3. Gearbox
