Throttle Works Motorcycle Repair & Maintenance

When your motorcycle is due it’s MOT, you want to know it is going to pass first time — without stress, surprises, or wasted money. At Throttle Works, we specialise in professional MOT preparation for motorcycles, making sure your bike is safe, compliant, and ready for the test.

We don’t just “have a look” — we properly inspect, service, and prepare your bike against MOT standards so you go into the test with confidence. And if you’d prefer, we can arrange and manage the MOT test for you, saving you time and hassle.

What Is MOT Preparation?

An MOT test checks that your motorcycle meets the legal safety and environmental standards required to be on the road. Even well-maintained bikes can fail on small things — worn brake pads, incorrect lights, chain issues, or something as simple as a loose number plate. Our MOT preparation service ensures that:

Your bike is inspected in line with MOT criteria
Any issues likely to cause a fail are identified early

Repairs or adjustments are carried out before the test
You avoid unnecessary retest fees and delays

The result? A smoother, quicker, and far more predictable MOT experience.

What We Check

Our MOT preparation covers all major inspection points, including:

Brakes

We inspect brake pads, discs, brake lines, and fluid condition to ensure proper stopping performance.

Lights & Electrics

We check headlights, brake lights, indicators, horn, wiring, and warning lights for correct operation.

Tyres & Wheels

We inspect tyre tread depth, condition, pressures, wheel bearings, and wheel alignment.

Steering & Suspension

We check for play, leaks, stiffness, and worn components that could affect safety or handling.

Chain, Sprockets & Transmission

We check chain tension, lubrication, wear, and security.

Frame & Body

We inspect for cracks, corrosion, loose fixings, sharp edges, and anything that could be unsafe or illegal.

Exhaust & Emissions

We check exhaust security, leaks, noise levels, and emissions compliance where applicable.

General Safety

We check mirrors, number plates, stands, throttle operation, and overall roadworthiness.

Repairs Before the Test

If we find anything that could cause a fail, we’ll:

Explain the issue clearly
Tell you what’s required to fix it
Give you honest advice and pricing before doing any work

We only carry out repairs with your approval — no surprises, no pressure.

We Can Arrange the MOT for You

If you don’t want the hassle of booking, transporting, or dealing with the test centre, we can:

Book the MOT on your behalf
Take your bike to the test
Handle any small adjustments if needed
Return the bike to you ready to ride

You get a fully prepared, tested, and legal bike — without needing to lift a finger.
