Hi, need a little help please.
I've been away for a couple of years and a friend has basically been storing my bike. It was newish when i last saw it, so didn't need an MOT. Now it will.

I have standard length stainless Oval CCC's on the bike, an 07 XTX. Does anyone know if these will pass an MOT, or will i need to put the standard ones back on?
Also what about the K&N filters and power commander etc, will these affect the exhaust analysis at all.

Many thanks for any help. I can't wait to get back on my XTX, and i'm hoping this will not delay me any longer than necessary.

Nick

There is no exhaust gas check other than a visual its not burning oil. As long as the cans have the baffles in you will pass the MOT. Some testers may comment if they are too loud and may put an advisory on it but it will pass.

I had this dilemma but mine were the louder CCC stubbies so I took them off for the MOT as I was certain I would get an issue as I know the guys there as they are a main Yamaha agent so did not risk if for a 10 minute job.

if your ccc's are stamped with a bs number and have the baffles in then theres no reason why it shouldnt pass mot.
as far as i no theres no emissions test for motorcycles so your pc and filters shouldnt affect it either, just make sure if youve a stage 2 dna that you cover or remove the "not for road use"!!

Many thanks for your replies. That is a huge relief. Otherwise i'd have to drag the original zorts right from east London to Middlesex on the train to get them swapped. I love my CCC's, so want to keep them on and let them continue to save my life and the lives of dopey pedestrians in central London.
My neighbours probably don't share my enthusiasm as i set off all the car alarms on the street in the morning. Ho hum.

Thanks again, my mind is at rest again.

Thanks for the not for road use reminder too. I have scrubbed it out with a knife, but might just give it another check to make sure its totally illegible.

i bought a chrome cover for mine that hides it with a bit of bling too. i know it came off here somewhere but cant remember who was making them, might be worth you doing a search?



not the best pic but you can just make it out?

I have :CCC: carbon longs with PCIII, stages 1&2, drilled airbox, rebreather mod, snorkel removed on my 2004 R and it has passed the MOT like that for the last three years. Make sure you have the baffles in - the BSAU stamp is only valid with baffles.

I know the mot rules state that if the exhaust is louder than that of a standard car/bike ie modified exhaust systems producing more noise than the standard system is a fail but it is down to the tester to make the decision as we do not use decimeters when testing, Took mine for a test last week and it passed with ccc stubbys on no problem
