Has anyone passed a SVA with digital bike clocks?
I have some KOSO ones with digital speedo, rev counter, and all the required lights and want to know whether to fit them now or later.
Cheers
I am not even in the UK, but I am 90% positive that it is OK. I have seen pics of tons of them.
digital speedo is fine as long as it shows mph and is illuminated when side lamps are on.
there is no requirement for any other instruments i.e. no rev counter, no fuel guage.
telltales - usaully lamps - required are:
- indicator
- brake warning
- fog lamp
- high beam
(I think that is the complete list)
I'm having difficulty getting the rev counter to work. If I took it out, how do they do the noise test ? Does tester have his own rev counter ?
yes i passed with a koso. take the instruction manual with you as my tester wanted to see max sped of clock whic was 228 or something silly,

i have koso and passed with no issues.
just had a problem with the revs on the r1 as the instructions are wrong here.
got through emissions first time without a cat too.
When I took mine it had no rev counter, they also had no rev counter!
For noise test he said hold it at 5,000 rpm, I said "how" he said "just judge it" - I think I may have erred slightly on the low
side!!! - passed the noise test tho'
Even when a tacho is fitted they don't bother calibrating it.... Often tachos can unfortunately over-read by 20% for the noise test
Cheers - Better start cutting holes in my nice shiny Carbon Dash then!!
