Do bikes have to pass smog tests, tire tread tests, blinkers..etc etc

Does it vary per state?

 

[NoLegs]

That's an interesting question. We don't have State inspections here, but I am now wondering if bikes need them in states such as TEXAS that have state inspections.

 

[dangerousR6]

Yes TEXAShas inspection laws for bikes, we are required to have them. But I just cary mine under passenger seat.....

 

[WildWilly]

in PA, you have to have your inpection sticker on your front left fork. Anyone who cares about their bike enough to take care of it will have no problems passing inspection in any state. Most of the stuff is all routine maintenence. oke

hahahaha see Texass does suck!! we dont need anything in Cali. or washington (but who cares about washingto?)

 

[picass1850]

is it the same process as a car? Go to a gas station and they do it? 25 bucks to get it done?

Yea Texas sucks.... That's why our bikes are about 15% faster than yours because we don't have to have catalytic converters, exhaust restrictors, etc put on our bikes from the factory.

They don't need to inspect yours because your wonderful government takes care of your bikes before you get them.

I would pay $20 a year for that kind of power increase any day.

uhhhh, and how easy is it to take those things off? pretty easy, and then, i still dont have to pay 20 bucks a year! the government can try to control us, but theyre influence can only go so far. other than telling me when i have to go to war and whatnot.

We don't have a test for bikes here yet, but we have e-check for cars. The government blows.

You have a completely different engine map. It's actually difficult to undo what they have done to your engine.
Regardless, you spend your money making yours as fast as mine is stock, meanwhile I'll spend money making mine faster than yours will ever be. MUHAHAHA!!!! :mrgreen:

 

[yoda]

and what is with those "noise regulations" in California??? Muffler can only be so loud from 50ft of center?

I guess they don't believe that "loud pipes save lives" there! haha

i never realized that you don't even have to ahve turn signals in Texas....interesting...

 

[deserteaglepoint50]

Same in Oklahoma! + No inspections!! (Even though you can fudge those in TX pretty easy. Just go to certain back alleys and give 20 bucks and get sticker) I hate emissions laws!! And I can run as loud a can as I can handle!!

 

[deserteaglepoint50]

I love Coastal regions it's just the assholes that run those areas that I can't stand.

 

[04focaR6]

I bought my bike in CA, and they did what to it? Thank you liberals...they just love to :hump us conservatives...

dude, that blows! what about WA? is the motor restricted same as Cali?
and **** you for being right! :moon

 

[njk27]

I'm pretty sure the only model that is different is California's, hence the R6 and R6c on your manual. I believe all the others are the same.

 

[twistad]

Damn inspections for bikes, that sucks. Do they harp on aftermaket pipes that are over the noise regs?
