Bike Inspections in Texas

[The_Incredible_Hulk]

So, I have been riding my kat for 6 weeks or so now, and it is not inspected. I have had several cops behind me in town, and not been hasseled. I have yet to see another bike with a sticker. Anybody in Texas do or not do this???

Oh I would do it.. They have that added sticker under the plate..
I think it's pretty basic, I wouldn't worry about passing/failing

Ya its $15 to get it inspected and takes 10 min to do....

Do I go to any inspection palce? Or is it specific to motorcycles?

Here in NJ, they upped the registration fee last year from $37.00 to $67.00 , and did away with inspections and stickers - everyone is now responsible to inspect their own motorcycle for compliance, at an increased cost to register, no less.

Now this is way off topic, but I'm curious.
Does yearly inspection rules differ between the states in the US?

Yes, Jimmie. Some states have no inspection at all. My state (Pennsylvania) is even more off kilter. Here, some counties have an additional inspection for emmissions (exhaust etc.) and some dont. it's wierd...

Ya any one should do, Just ask them if they have any motorcycle stickers. Some places never get them and won't to bikes. It took me 2 tries to find one. Just drove out of the neighborhood on the bike and started asking. I was back home in 30 min..

I found that going to the dealer was a waste of time. They do inspections but are overly anal and tend to make you wait. I've had one place tell me they wish they could stop doing them since it ties up their mechanics. (can't blame them for that)

I would hit the kwik kar and every time they just had me pull around back, stab the breaks, done.

Got the pickup inspected last week and asked about getting the Kat inspected while I was there. I was told that it costs $14.00 and it is only the safety part of the inspection. Should only take 10 minutes to get'r done.
