Pleiades is on a distinguished road
3mm of tread is fine. Believe it or not the legal limit is just 1mm for motorcycles!

Brake lever – OTR do one at 45 euro, which is almost exactly the same price as the Yamaha part (which is �40 from AJ Sutton). I don’t know of any anyone selling a pattern part?

As for the MOT, trouble is most likely going to come from the areas where grease was in short supply on the T�n�r�. Check swing arm/shock linkage play, steering head and wheel/sprocket carrier bearings. Other than that all the usual stuff on any motorcycle/car.

If it’s been laid up since November fresh oil would be a good move and a filter if it that wasn’t changed last service.

Make sure the battery is in good shape and well charged.
