OK, 1 day after my dealer plates expired, my new plates arrived. But it left me with some questions:

1. My bike has no inspection sticker
2. Shouldnt I get a title with a leinholder listed?

I bought the bike in NJ so it confuses things a bit. Hence the huge delay on the registration.

 

do you have pa or nj plates?

 

PA. Sales tax for PA was part of the out-the-door. I know jersey doesn't require MC to be inspected but PA does.

My thought is there should a been at least a New Vehicle inspection sticker or something.

 

My tags and title came seperately. I'm in OK though, so can't swear to your procedures.

I would think that the dealership should have done the first inspection and sticker
for it as the initial prep. I'd be asking them about that.

Good luck, Ern

 

Yeah but the problem is NJ not requiring inspections anymore I think.

I'll call them on Friday / Saturday.

 

i doubt they could do the inspection for PA even if they wanted to. in my past years working for a car dealership, we'd have to drive the car to the registry in the state of ownership. And i'm not sure about bike loans, but i believe the lien holds the title until the bike is paid off. which means a little more paperwork at the registry

 

yeah lienholder usually keeps title until loan is done or in some cases you get a title
with the lienholder listed on it depending on state

here's a handy link

 

To9 be safe (and for peace of mind) you could just take it to a shop that does inspections and have them inspect it...if they try to tell you it needs ANYTHING to pass, tell to go jump off a bridge!

Being it's a new bike...you should be able to just take it to a shop and buy a sticker for it.

 

Everything that I've had a lien on , the lein holder (my credit union) has held the title while the lien was applied. I usually leave it there until I need it (selling the vehicle).

You should have a proof of registration (or application thereof). As far as inspection sticker goes, you'll prolly have to get that yourself if the bike was sold in a state that doesn't require it. Like others say, a state can't inspections for a different state, although one state has to accept another state's certificate of inspection or lack thereof. (Full Faith and Credit clause) But since your bike is registered in PA, it needs to have a valid PA inspection (if required by law, like you state).

 

I was curious bout the title because the guy I bought Ororo from had the title with the bank listed. That was the delay getting her: getting the bank to stamp the title clear so Pennsylvania could destroy it and issue me a new one
