Aftermarket Exaust Ownership

[laurencio]

Hi fellow bikers. A newbie here. Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year to all of u

 

Getting back to my issue. I just purchased a 2nd hand bike that came with an aftermarket exhaust attached already. I do have the certs and the inspection letters making the exhaust legal. Do i need to transfer ownership of the exhaust to my name as the cert and inspection letters are still of the previous owner? I went down to the shop personally a few days ago and the person there told me to come back in march. When i reached home the same day, i called their shop to specify the dates i could go back to do the transfer, they told me its not necessary to do an ownership transfer as exhaust goes with the bike n not the owner. I even called lta but the operator on the line sounded unsure. Im very confused now. Could any bikers kindly share their experience on this issue? It will help me a great deal. Sorry for the long story n thank u in advance.

The exhaust follow the bike number . Just bring certs and the inspection letters w/ you not necessary to do an ownership

I did a ownership transfer on my 2nd hand bike with an after market exhaust on it before but that was a few years back. Cost me $50 for an A4 piece of paper some ink on it to state that it is yours. Totally not worth it. Besides if you are going for your annual bike inspection, the will normally check if the serial number tallys with your exhaust cert.

Thank u very much Rom for sharing ur experience. My only worry is if i get stopped by TP or LTA, will i get fined or get in any trouble?

Of coz im also worried if i can't pass the inspection but looking at ur experience, i should pass the inspection without changing ownership of the exhaust?

Passing inspection should not be an issue. If so happens you got stopped, tell them the distributer told you that it is not necessary.

Once again, thank u very much Rom .. Hopefully the authorities will accept my explanation ..

From what we all know, you dont need to do an ownership transfer of exhaust if you are buying a bike with the aftermarket exhaust attached.

 

Only if you are detaching other bike's exhaust to be put on yours, you need to do so and go for reinspection.

 

I just bought an R6 with a temi slip on.. I just sold a cbr400 with a yoshin end can.

 

Deal done just like any bike, except that the previous owner would pass the new owner his muffler cert and LTA approval letter.
