make sure you ride the brakes as much as possible on the way to the test centre, clear off as much rust/oil as possible
thats the one thing that i always fret over, i know the brakes stop the thing, but are all 4 brakes working right? one year my back axle wasnt doing any at all! it felt fine to me ;)

Ooooooopppsss, didn't you notice before you took it in  [-X [-X anyway can't you just drain the left tank (I think the fuel pump feeds off the right tank??)  then make sure the crossover tap between the tanks is closed and take it in again, (no fuel in tank = no leak!!!) just a thought :-k :-k

.................cheers, Jack.

lol no m8 i didnt notice b4 i took it  :oops: to be honest it has sat at the top of the drive for the past 2 years as a oversized cat basket  :oops: i just slung some go go juice in her and trotted off :)

but yes im going to try the drain the tank route but im certain theres a return feed into it so unless i can find it and route it back to the right hand tank it will still do it  :'(
