Bike compliance?

[Holcombe]

Hi all,

Good forum. Have purchased a BMW K100 that will require compliance. Any advise and suggestions as to where to take it will be most welcome.

Thanks

CraigYa need the old plate to make life easiest, but it can be done without it.

Brake declaration can be done at most bike shops, (infact if you go get the form from a VTNZ or similar you can do it yourself).

They'll have all the paperwork you need to fill out, at which point search for your Nearest VINZ and book it in for a compliance test.

There are of course obvious checks you should do before hand. All lenses and tyres mast be DOT or E marked. Loud pipes seem to be quite a grey area. Technically they should be E marked too, but seem to pass so long as they don't have 'Not for highway use' stamped onto them.

Good luck, have at it.

Have got the old plate. What is the brake declaration, I presume they must be tested at compliance? (still have to fix the ABS first)
Good point about the headlight DOT, its not the original, so will check it.
Pipe is aftermarket and a bit loud but have managed to source original one which I will fit for test.
Tyres are shot so will have to replace anyway.

Pretty much just a bit of paper that states the discs are the correct width (minimum thickness should be stamped on the disc itself). If you have to appropriate tools you can do it yourself, although I think it states on the form that you need to take it to an appropriate professional.

Someone adequately trained/experienced is the wording I think. Disk thickness is checked in the WOF check, the declaration simple states that the bits are bolted together as the manufacturer intended. How well they work is not covered.

K100 is an old bike. Not that old though, surely?

You can do your own declaration and is only required on bakes after 1991.
Is this the k100 blue bike. Assume this is Craig from K100 site.
If it is and you said was insurance write off yet you have old plate are you sure it was written off?
I thought plates were taken on written bikes.

I think Craigs is the last of the 1000cc K100 so will be 1990ish. If its 1100 then will be after 1991

pre 89? cause i've had my CX turbo in there for Vin and they said it was deemed a classic and limited time on the road so didn't do an intense check.
