just remove the "katalisator" (don't konw the translation) and you'll be fine. the lead affects the platinum-nikkel inside it, meaning killing the thing, so you want to remove that verry expensive part

Is the only way of removing this to cut it out of the exhaust box? If so once cut out it is obviously destroyed so would it pass an emissions check for an MOT?

you could also buy a new exhaust system
sure somebody makes replacment pipes
...
we dont have mot on bikes in holland

Just some translation today. "Katalisator" is in English

catalytic convertor

(sorry for any spelling mistakes, but you should get it anyway!!).

Motorcycle emissions are not a part of the UK MoT.

I think there is no MoT needed in Africa and many part of Asia
