What is the inspection cycle for motorcycles?
1 Answers
Previously, the annual inspection regulations for motorcycles required an inspection every two years for the first four years, and then annually thereafter. Starting from June 2019, new motorcycles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, after which they must be inspected annually. Below are some key points to note regarding motorcycle annual inspections: 1. Advance Inquiry: Not all motor vehicle inspection stations can perform motorcycle inspections, so it's advisable to call ahead or check the local traffic management bureau's website before visiting. 2. Strict Inspections: Emissions and lighting inspections are particularly stringent, so modifications to exhaust systems and lights should be noted. If the inspection is not passed, there are three opportunities for re-inspection. 3. Bring Cash: The environmental inspection hall at the inspection station only accepts cash, so remember to bring cash. 4. Complete Within the Validity Period: Motorcycles must be inspected every two years within the first four years, and then annually thereafter. The annual inspection must be completed within three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period (as indicated on the vehicle registration certificate).
