Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

PrivatePilot said:
To be fair, all those drops of oil, from each individual cars, times tens of thousands of cars a day……is what results in the roads becoming as slick as snot right after the first rainfall in a few weeks.

So I’m not sure complaining about that on a motorcycle forum of all places is necessarily the wisest option.

As for what would fail versus what would pass, I think that any active dripping or signs of oil spray on the bottom of the car suggesting that there is a seriously leak would end up with a fail. If the under car area is clean (so if someone drives a leaker, it would seem prudent to pay for the fancy super duper car wash with the bottom blaster, or get in there yourself with degreaser and a power washer beforehand), and it doesn’t drip during the cert, it should be fine I’m sure.

But really, if you are driving a vehicle that is actively dripping during a 1–2 hour certification, or is leaking so badly that it is spraying on the bottom of the car, it probably legitimately shouldn’t be on the roads anyways. And cars aren’t like they were even 20 or 30 years ago anymore, leaking is much less of an issue even on old cars. My 2011
volt doesn’t leak, same as my sons 2012. His 2008 Saturn he had before it even was every bit the definition of a beater, and it didn’t even leak anything. It’s not the 1970’s or 80’s anymore.



Umm, the Prime Minister has absolutely nothing to do with provincial safety standards.

Sorry guys but did you not read my post? What more do you want.
The FACTS are nothing has changed with regards to the requirements only how it's documented. That's not chit chat or speculation.
 
Trading in my Duc and had to order a factory cat/exhaust setup off eBay to get the deal done. I do get to keep my HP Corse slip-on now and hopefully can use on a future bike. I can see cats on bikes now getting stolen or the whole bike for the cat.

I sold a bike a few years ago and told the guy to take the stock exhaust and tailfender. He said nope done want that shitte! Probably regrets that decision!

I have at least 5-10 rear fenders and a few stock cans in my garage that might finally be worth something.
 
Can you get a newer bike certified with a deleted cat?
 
Not sure about motorcycles but I recently gave my son-in-law (master Ford and Nissan mechanic) a set of very expensive vernier calipers as he now has to document, measure and photograph everything... It's a PITA for him but now a reality. I imagine motorcycles are not exempt from this process.

You are 100% correct. That's IS the only change, now things must be photo'd and documented via a special tablet.
 
Has anyone actually gone for a motorcycle certification after march 31? Or, has anyone performed a motorcycle certification inspection after march 31?

Also interested in hearing anyone's experience with the safety changes as I'll be needing to get one done on my gsxr soon.
