My stock exhaust has been laying around my garage for 6 months now and I'm tired of looking at it. Who wants it? It only has about 10 hours on it. I'll even throw in the smog crap I ripped off my bike for free. LOL

This should sell quick to someone in CA since those smog laws will soon be in effect.

 

What smog laws? Am I missing something? Will our bikes need to get smog checked?

 

Here's a cut & paste from a New Zealand web site,

All motorcycles of 280cc or larger, manufactured in 2000 or later will be subject to biennial smog checks if legislature currently being considered by the California State government is approved.

The legislature – which would effectively target illegally modified exhaust systems (eg. y removing the catalytic converter or using straight-through pipes – would come into force in 2012 if approved by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a motorcyclist himself.

According to the California Air Resources Board, bikes account for 3.6% of vehicles registered in California, but account for 10% of smog-forming emissions. The ARB estimates that 5.2 tons of pollutants would be prevented from entering the atmosphere daily if motorcycle smog checks become law.

gotta love the 1999 model

 

280cc or larger, your safe!

 

If your from california you'll want to write your local legislators to let them know your against the rediculous idea. I don't ride my bikes everyday, how do they come up with the 3.6% statistic? This law if implemented is another waste of our tax money, once again trying to spend money this state has little of to waste. Sorry for the hijack/rant.

 

Can anyone confirm that this smog regulation in California is only for 280cc and larger? The 280cc number seems pretty random to me. I'm thinking that might be a typo.

The implementation of this regulation in 2012 has me not even wanting to mess with the smog stuff on my bike. As it is I am concerned that I will have to remove the Dynojet kit in the carb and replace the Muzzy full exhaust with the stock just to get it to pass. What a pain!
