I haven't had my bike inspected in 6 years. I have even gotten pulled over once and they didn't check my stickers. Obviously now that I say this, it will happen.

Still, just curious if you guys all get your bike inspected, and if not, how long have you gone without getting in trouble?

 

Is this inspection for insurance purposes or a DOT requirement?
We only have inspections for out of province equipment or recertification of damaged bikes here. Otherwise, I do a pre-ride inspection each time before I ride.

 

Mine is inspected, but it is not a requirement for the sticker to be adhered to the bike - I carry it with my registration.

I doubt most cops around here would ever ask for it, they use inspection stickers as a reason to pull cars over, I figure most motorcycles give them some other reason.

 

Here in Cali there are no inspections. Just pay the registration and be on your way

 

only need tags in ohio. i dont do a full pre-ride inspection, which i probably should. but once a week everything is checked over.

 

in missouri u have to get ur bike inspected b4 theyll give u plates so yeah its inspected

 

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about pre-ride inspections.

Like Crashking said, here in Missouri we HAVE to get ours inspected or they will not renew the plates. I think there's an exception if it is less than 5 years old but other than that you'd better show up at the DMV office with your renewal notice, personal property tax receipt showing the motorcycle listed on it, proof of insurance, a passed inspection paper and money to pay for the renewal or they'll just send you away.

 

I get my bikes inspected each year (PennDOT requirement), however, the previous owner had gone 3 years out of inspection. said he'd been stopped by LEO's a few times and they never hassled him about it

 

I still can't get my head around the fact that it's not a country wide requirement to do an annual inspection.
Here in the UK the test is logged on a central data base along with insurance and road tax. They can detect you on cameras and automatically cross check that everything is in order. If you're out of date on anything expect a knock at the door.
It keeps the uninsured, badly maintained idiot pieces of crap off the road and in the long run benefits everyone.

 

Texas we do inspections. I pull the bike in the stall, guy says "Headlight, low beam, high beam, left signal, right signal, tail, brake light. Insurance." Also is supposed to check tires, mirror, reflectors, but who knows.

Lots of my buddies have expired inspections; the sticker is required to be affixed "near the license plate".
