1 Answers
Changing the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle is not considered illegal modification. Since the exhaust pipe is a part prone to rust and damage, it is normal to replace it when it is broken, and it also reduces noise pollution. Relevant regulations on motorcycle modification: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," for registered motor vehicles, if any of the following circumstances occur, the owner of the motor vehicle shall apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority that registered the motor vehicle for modification registration: changing the color of the motor vehicle body. Precautions for motorcycle modification: Appearance cannot be modified, the horn cannot be modified, and modifications must be legal. Illegal motor vehicle modification refers to modifications to the vehicle's appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system that exceed the original design standards allowed by national laws and not approved by the manufacturer, including the replacement of key components. Article 16, Item 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization.
