Tyres do not rub
Type A: one fails the test

Tyres do not rub

Neither tyre touches a mudguard, the frame or the suspension, even with the handlebar turned.

Turn the handlebar lock to lock and push the motorcycle down on its suspension. Look for shiny rub marks.

Mirrors firm and whole

The mirror glass is not broken and the mirrors stay in position.
