Do you watch TV ? What do you thing all these advertisements and shows on going green are pushing at us. Emmissions and saving everything. Their push is already starting.

Do y'all actually get your bikes inspected? I got one on my new bike so I could get it registered, but I have never had a bike inspected before and I've never gotten stopped for it either. I guess I'm just a scofflaw.

RE: How do you pass emissions testing?
Dependes on what state your in. Here in VA there is a safety inspection that a lot of people ignore, no big deal, but the emmisions inspection is required and you can't renew your tags without it. A dead inspection sticker might not get you pulled over but dead tags will.

We are lucky so-far here in Lane County Oregon.
No smog or safety inspection required on mc or cages.
I heard Portland does smog inspections. Not for sure ...

RE: How do you pass emissions testing?
I live in Goodyear AZ. I had to get emissions testing done on both my Honda RC 51 as well as my Road King Classic. The do a sniffer test on Motorcycles. They only test an idle. With a Fuel Injected bike you should not have any issues. They did not do any sort of a Visual inspection on the bike. I have aftermarket pipes as well as Power Commanders on both bikes. Both passed easily. The only bikes I see having issues are the older carb models. They can emissions test all they want, now if they start looking at the stamps on the aftermarket exhaust that say not street legal or race only, then I will be SOL. Then again that is why I always keep my stock pipes, just in case I have to do the switcharu come testing time

RE: How do you pass emissions testing?
Here is part of one article that was a link up a couple of posts, it is from the EPA....... that would be federal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new federal standards are patterned after
regulations already scheduled to go into effect in
California. The California standards will be
implemented in two stages, the first step
affecting all motorcycle sold there beginning with
the 2004 model year. The second stage takes
effect in California with the 2008 model year.
The planned federal regulations would adopt the
California standards two years later. This means
that the first stage would go into effect
nationwide with the 2006 model year, and the
second stage following in the 2010 model year.
The new standards reduce the level of
hydrocarbons that can be produced by
motorcycles from the current 5 grams per
kilometer to 1.4 grams in 2006 and 0.8 grams in
2010. Over the next eight years, the allowable
level of hydrocarbons will drop more than 85 per
cent.

[sm=icon_beat.gif] This thread is just BS rumors . Show us some real printed state or federal document that states that motorcycles will now be emmision tested.[sm=proof.gif] . If natzifornia isn't doing it you can bet your **** no other state will anytime soon.
