    Needs little work put through MOT.

    : (Under braking) Steering Headbearing has excessive free play.

    Already know how to sort the exhaust out - new gasket.

    if your going to change your headrace bearing then make sure you get some hight quality grease (lithium i think is the best) and use a good amount.
    Bad grease will make the bearing wear faster. when putting it back together make the races a touch tight, this should loosen up after 1-2 miles. its a good idea to check them after a small ride .
    hope this helps
