I am getting ready to take the riding test for WA state. Do they check to see if the horn is working? I can NOT find the wires to hook it up.

Insurance company is hounding me about getting my endorsement.

Thanks,
Kevin

they didn't when i did my DOL test, but it's a terrible thing to neglect fixing for obvious reasons.

I agree, I'll get it fixed this winter when I tear it all down. It's a TL1000R with yosh pipes. It's loud!!

Thanks for the information.

No they do not check things like horns or lights. don't go with bald tires though.

You need to get a bumper sticker or patch for the back of your jacket -

If your insurance wants you to take the test and get endorsed just take the msf and get a discount on your insurance. When you pass MSF you get a card that's good for your endorsement when you go to DOL to pay for your new license. No test required by DOL.

only time they ever checked mine was when i was switching the title over to my name, then they just wanted to check the vin and that was it.

Hey maybe I should disconnect my horn...I always seem to accidentally hit it at the most un-opportune times...
