What are the new regulations for motorcycle annual inspections in 2021?
2 Answers
2021 motorcycle annual inspection new regulations are: 1. Nationwide inspection for motorcycles: Motorcycles registered within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection, and motorcycle inspections can be conducted nationwide. Additionally, motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years are also exempt from environmental inspections. For applicants applying for inspections in provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) other than where the motorcycle is registered, the requirement for an out-of-region inspection authorization letter is abolished. For motorcycles that have already obtained such letters but have not yet undergone inspection, the new regulations will apply, and no further review or storage of the authorization letter is required. Motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years can apply for inspection labels across provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities). 2. Motorcycles exempt from inspection within 6 years have clearly defined exemption periods. The main scenarios include: 1. Vehicles registered after June 1, 2017, can enjoy the policy of exemption from inspection 3 times. 2. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2017, having already undergone inspection once, can enjoy the policy of exemption from inspection 2 times. 3. Vehicles registered between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2015, having already undergone inspection twice, can enjoy the policy of exemption from inspection once. 4. Vehicles registered before May 31, 2014, must still follow the original regulations and undergo inspection at inspection agencies once a year.
As a veteran rider with over a decade of motorcycle experience, I think the 2021 annual inspection reform has significantly simplified procedures, especially benefiting beginners. In the past, new motorcycles had to visit inspection stations every year, but now motorcycles under 6 years are completely exempt from on-site testing, saving me considerable time and money. For example, the 125cc bike I bought last year has been ridden worry-free for two years without annual inspection hassles. Of course, this doesn't mean maintenance can be ignored - brake lights and tire wear still require regular self-checks, otherwise you'll face big troubles during police spot checks or accidents. Overall, the policy is more user-friendly, with core adjustments based on vehicle age: 6-10 year motorcycles require annual inspections, while those over 10 years need semi-annual checks. Older bikes demand more frequent inspections to avoid hundreds in fines. I believe this change encourages more people to ride, but remember - safety first! Don't neglect vehicle condition just to save effort.
