    Do I need an odometer for a WOF?

    Done a search and couldn't find any answers - do I legally have to have an odometer fitted for a WOF? It will have a speedometer but won't be recording km's.

    Cheers

    No. Just a device to indicate speed. Unless you have a diesel.

    My understanding is that you do not but you do need a speedo. However, if there is no odometer fitted then you need a log book of the kms that you have travelled and this needs to be up to date. Not sure this applies to a post 1978 bike though. A friend does this and gets through a wof fine.

    Perhaps others may know something different or clarify this point.

    Failing this you can always ask the wof person or even lvvta or someone like this.

    Have managed to get a bike through wof with a cycle computer, but did to be lit.

    If you need to re-comply the rules are generally tougher...

    Cheers,

    Rego on hold so hopefully won't have to re-comply.

    An odo reading needs to be enterd,but it doesn't matter what the reading is....unless it's a diesel,they check WoF odo readings for RUC.

    what kind of wof place are you going to? They sound tough.

    Where I go they just check the headlight and indicators and ask me to do my own road test.

    The road test involves locking up the back wheel and getting the forks to dive when I apply the front brake. That's it.

    Forget the speedo.
