Hey all,
Going to get back into road riding.
What's the chance of getting defected with a full exhaust? Never considered it back in the day, are things stricter now?
Places or times to avoid around sydney?
Cheers.

Are there defect stations? Heard mention of them but maybe covid stopped all of that.

Re: Chance of being defected and how to avoid
Think your safe mate. All of my bikes have been able to be defected but never had an issue. If worse comes to worse we can get a blueslip

Interesting. You'd want to be careful riding a ZRX past a heavy vehicle inspection station - get pulled over for avoiding inspection for sureMadKaw wrote:There was one on the Bells last week. Mainly stopping 4wd's..tim wrote:MadKaw wrote:Keep off the thottle around police...Thanks boss.
