What to Do If a Motorcycle Cannot Be Licensed?
2 Answers
If a motorcycle cannot be licensed, you can reapply for the vehicle's certificate of conformity to include it in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's announcement catalog for licensing. Below is relevant information about motorcycle licensing: 1. Licensing regulations: Motorcycles can be licensed immediately upon purchase, with a maximum grace period of three months without a license. Temporary license plates generally have a validity period of no more than thirty days. 2. Types of license plates: There are four types of temporary license plates: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, cross-administrative jurisdiction temporary plates, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special-type motor vehicles. Note: When a motor vehicle is driving normally on a highway, the minimum speed must not be less than fifty kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed one hundred ten kilometers per hour; for large passenger vehicles, freight vehicles, and motorcycles, the maximum speed must not exceed ninety kilometers per hour.
I've been through the experience of not being able to license a motorcycle. In my case, it was because the modified exhaust system exceeded standards. First, check if all your documents are complete—the purchase invoice, ID card, and vehicle certificate must all be originals. If any documents are missing, contact the dealer immediately to get replacements. If the issue is with the vehicle itself, like mismatched engine numbers or unclear origins, you'll need to go to the DMV for a professional inspection. I recommend visiting an authorized repair shop to restore factory settings rather than trying to fix it yourself, as you might damage parts. The whole process might take some time, but don’t rush—safety comes first, and riding an unlicensed bike could lead to heavier fines if caught. Always go through official channels to avoid future trouble.
