Side lamp Mot rules.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Unless it's fake news there is no mandatory UK requirement for a motorcycle to have side lamps. I slipped up not ordering my 7" unit with a side lamp fitting. At present my DTRL is powered from the old side light connector quite happy to ride in the daytime on side lamps as its a low wattage lamp with an LED rear bulb.
Bryanj:
If its there it must work, if it was built with one it has to be there, at least thats whst it was when i was testing.
You can download the testers manual and peruse it at leasure but then for most of our bikes it dont matter
Nurse Julie:
Here's the testers manual guidelines.

Thanks NJ looks like my DTRL will do as a sidelamp & it does not need to dim.
Laverdaroo:
I think Bryan's right Ted, when I was working with Suzuki at a dealership a few years back. If it was there it had to work, so if you had rear pegs and a single seat, that was a fail.
Likewise if you had a double seat but no rear pegs that was a fail also. They change regularly and a great deal of them dont really matter for our bikes but it might be worth a look.
