Ok I went and had a look anyway (what a waste of internet!) and as I am pleased with my progress today, I will now list what I think are fun changes in the
Jan '21 updates to the motorcycle MOT inspection manual:
0.1. Identification of the vehicle - Registration plates - Changed bullet from 'be mounted at the rear of the motorcycle' to 'be mounted towards the rear of the motorcycle'
Wicked. So that's my plate going on the left rearset!
4.1.4 Headlamps - Compliance with requirements - Sentence changed from 'Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.' to 'Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID or LED bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.'
The offending sausage of amusement.
Well, that wasn't very exciting. The last change was 24th Sept 2019.
This one is amusing (my bold):
2.2.2 Forks and yokes. Added information to clarify how to raise the wheels clear of ground. Changed defect 2.2.2.f.i wording to 'Steering head bearings excessively stiff, notchy, or with excessive wear or play’.
