Yes only if they did not meet spec, if specs were met then NO, they would not be a cause for concern or flagged for any reason....
yes and no.
Yes, if they did not meet spec they wouldn't have passed the safety. That part was mentioned earlier in the thread and no one is disputing that.
...and you are also correct that if it did meet spec it could pass safety. Also mentioned earlier and again no one is disputing that.
However, since the Motorcycle shop that did the safety flagged the chain as needing adjustment, something not necessary for the safety, you'd hope they would have also flagged the more serious issue to be looked at. (the brakes)
i.e. "The bike Passed safety. The chain could use an adjustment. However, more importantly, the front of the bike shakes like a leaf when you apply the front brakes. feels like a warped rotor. We recommend you leave it with us to diagnose it further."
...or something along those lines.
