    Howdy.
    Just wondering how easy it was to get through an MOT when you have a race slip-on with a PCV (+K&N) and no Lambda sensor?


    Do you flash the PCV with the zero map for the MOT and then re-flash it with your custom map again?
    Or are MOT stations generally pretty sensible about non-cat pipes on bikes?

    i always had to change my exhaust, but when your setting car alarms off what do you expect :)

    i would like to think most places will be quite sensible, just make sure you have the baffle in your exhaust and put the lamba sensor back in and i cant see you having a problem, it wont hurt having the fueling out for a quick 5 min run to the M.O.T centre and back

    Many Mot'ers are bikers themselves, as long as your not taking the piss you'll be OK.

    I had a Leo Vince can an decat and PCV passed MOT with no problems. As far as I know there is no emission test (yet) for bikes so no need to put in a zero map.


    If the can had 'not for road use' or something similar you might wanna check with them first to save you having a retest.

    My MOT place is absolutely hilarious. They're all bikers and so long as the bike's not on fire when you take it in there, they'll pass it :D
