How Often Should Motorcycles Be Inspected Under New Traffic Regulations?

[VonGarrett]

Motorcycles must undergo inspection every 2 years within the first 4 years, and annually thereafter. Below is relevant information about motorcycles: 1. Characteristics of motorcycles: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles powered by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, agile, fast, and widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, as well as sports equipment. 2. Types of motorcycles: Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes. 3. Components of motorcycles: Motorcycles consist of five main parts: the engine, transmission system, running gear, braking system, and electrical instrumentation equipment.

Many people are really confused about the annual inspection schedule for motorcycles, but the new regulations have made things much more convenient. Based on my experience helping a friend with the inspection last year, newly registered motorcycles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years. However, you still need to obtain an electronic inspection mark every 2 years, which can be easily done with just a few clicks on the Traffic Management 12123 App—super convenient. After 6 years, you’ll need to take the bike to the inspection station for an on-site check every year. If your motorcycle is over 10 years old, then sorry, you’ll have to go for an inspection every 6 months. Don’t assume that being exempt from on-site inspections means you can ignore it—remember to get the mark when it’s due. Also, make sure your insurance is valid, otherwise you won’t pass the inspection at all. This policy is quite rider-friendly, saving a lot of time spent running to inspection stations.

Oh man, talking about vehicle inspection timelines, I've personally witnessed the policies change several times. Back in the early days, motorcycles had to undergo annual inspections. Thankfully, the new regulations have really eased the burden for riders. Take my 3-year-old bike for example - didn't need to queue up for inspection at all this year. Just applied for the electronic label on the 12123 app and it was done in three minutes. Key reminders about pitfalls: modified bikes or those with unrepaired accident damage lose their exemption from physical inspection. Cross-province inspections are now supported, but remember to bring your ID card, vehicle license and insurance documents. Policies are stricter for yellow-plate motorcycles - riders of large-displacement bikes need to be extra careful.

According to the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", the annual inspection cycle for motorcycles is clearly divided into three categories: motorcycles registered within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection and must apply for an inspection compliance mark every 2 years; starting from the 6th year of registration, an annual on-site inspection is required; for motorcycles registered for more than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted to every 6 months. It is important to note that the exemption policy only applies to non-commercial motorcycles that have not been involved in any fatal accidents during the period. Before the annual inspection, all traffic violation records must be cleared, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy must be held.
