Hoi!
OK, just had my second MOT- it passed with flying colours last year, but this year, the tester said" I'm going to have to fail you this year, because of a loose front brake disc.
I went over to the scooter to have a closer look..
He said " one of the discs just has a little bit of movement, not much as if the bolts holding the disc on are either loose or badly worn"
I took off one of the bolts..
he said "there's no wear there, and because it's got less than 9000 miles, it must have come out of the factory like that" with that, he exclaimed that the other disc also had slight movement! he also had a closer look at the hole where the bolt goes into, and it was not completely round, but slightly elongated
He scratched his head- "it must be designed like that, but god knows why" and he gave the scooter a pass in the end..
I said " i'll find out on the forum as to why and if the disc is supposed to have slight movement, as I've never noticed this before, and I've never noticed any problems with braking!"
So, the question is this- is the front brake disc supposed to have slight movement, and if so why?? but thank god it passed as I'm on an advanced motorbike course tomorrow, and off to Ireland on Wednesday, for World Vespa Day in Belfast!
