How Often Should a Two-Wheeled Motorcycle Undergo Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
For two-wheeled motorcycles within the first 4 years, an inspection is required every 2 years; after exceeding 4 years, an annual inspection is mandatory. Below is an introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Required Documents: Vehicle license, duplicate copy of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles, ID card of the person conducting the inspection, triangular warning sign, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications to the vehicle body are allowed.) 2. Document Explanation: The compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles consists of an original and a duplicate copy. The duplicate copy must be submitted during the inspection and will be retained by the inspection authority. The ID card to be carried should belong to the person driving the vehicle for inspection.
When I first got my motorcycle, I knew nothing about it. Later, I found out that new vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first two years after registration, but the used one I bought requires an annual inspection. Every time, I get nervous, afraid it won’t pass. The annual inspection focuses on the braking system, light brightness, and exhaust emissions—government requirements to ensure we ride safely. A reminder to everyone: check the chain tension, tire pressure, and headlights a week in advance to save a lot of trouble. Delaying the inspection for too long can lead to fines of several hundred yuan if caught by the police, not to mention possible vehicle impoundment, which ruins the fun of riding. Last year, I almost got fined for a lighting issue, so now I make sure to get it done on time.
