MOT question

I know this may sound like a really stupid question but does anyone know if you have to have a chain guard on your motorbike for the MOT?

Thanks

Hi there, the answer is yes, just googled the final drive MOT requirement

The chain/belt must not have excessive slack and be in good condition, the guard must be secure and not fouling
On shaft drive bikes, the drive unit must be free from oil leaks
Both sprockets should be securely mounted and not excessively worn

OK thanks a lot mate.
