Took the 250 for the MOT and he wanted to fail it because the headlight "wasn't bright enough and a bit erratic".
I told him there was nothing else I could do to improve the lighting. 12V kit. 120W BGM stator and an Xenon bulb. The brightness is the best I've ever had on my Lambrettas. He tried again with the reading thingmie and reluctantly passed it, but what am I supposed to do to improve this?

Ricspeed, gone but never forgotten RIP my friend #59
mate of mine fellow scooterist runs a bike shop, recently took my standard GP 125, points ignition and he remarked that its the only lammy he has had where he could see the light pattern correctly.

The key to a successful MOT seems to be more and more: find a sympathetic tester.
i.e not a pushover or someone who'll pass anything, but someone, like my tester a old school trials bike champ who knows old bikes sometimes don't have fantastic brakes or lights or indicators that flash perfectly because purely and simply they weren't built like that.

I have yet to get a scooter passed on the MOT light test up here in the New Buildings test Centre Bilko without a whole handling, they usually give it a by-ball or just hit the NOT TESTED button on the computer. That`s modern PX`s to old Lammies

You can't do that here in Northern Ireland. MOT centres government run.
