Forgive the question if it is really obvious, but I am quite a new biker and this is the first time I have rebuilt a bike.

Does the Bike MOT have an emissions test?, bike is all but finished and ready to go, but I am sure the carbs are not that well tuned, there is no black smoke however.

they turn it on while they check the electrics.. eg do the indicators/headlights etc work/not work if engine is running etc...

But always worth getting it set up on a dyno especially if you have aftermarket, filter, downpipes or can

Yes, planning to ride it down to a dyno once its MOT'ed, nearest one is some distance away, unless anyone knows different? I am in Wiltshire.
