Is there a Harley in the picture....it must be behind that truckWell, there's a conflict mate, having a Harley in the garage
That's a bugger!
Presumably the centrifugal force created by the extra weight on the valve stem. That sucks as you'd be well advised to remove the TPMS sensors from your bike & your Dads.
Try a complaint to the seller mate. If there's an option to leave a review with photos? I reckon they'll refund you to buy your silence.
Unless that tyre (tire) valve was old/perished. The TPMS sensors are f#ckin dangerous! That would have resulted in a very rapid deflation.

It failed
Front disk is worn, but its where the two parts of the floating disk meet, so not only is there side to side movement, as there should be, but there is vertical movement which there should not be. Also headlight aim was out, and the throttle cable needs adjusting as it increases the revs slightly when the bars are turned on full lock.
It was a different guy that did my previous few MOTs on my other bikes, and It was the most thorough MOT I've ever witnessed. Before he started I was told he apparently had a row with his boss and was in a bad mood
- But I have no complaints, he was right and I'd rather it fail so it can be fixed, as having a brake disk failure in use would not be fun.They also gave me a good price for sorting all, no markup on parts. However having said they would give me a price within the hour, and they didn't get back to me until two hours later, then me being the impatient git I am, I had already ordered the parts
- I'll change the disk bolts, and front pads whilst I'm at it. Parts should arrive tomorrow, so hopefully I can get everything sorted out and in for a retest ASAP.

My MOT man never checks things like my throttle operation or headlight beam. As long as the headlight works OK and points in roughly the right direction that's all he cares about. He does give the brakes a good check but unless he spotted something seriously wrong he would simply tell me to get whatever was the problem fixed.
