I took the new to me 1125r to inspection in good ol New Fricken Jersey. Went through the hoopla of checking signals/horn/brake lights/helmet (reflective). He is about to go inside and asks "where is the exhaust?". I point to the muffler under the bike. He says "you got baffles in there?". I explained it was stock. He didn't believe me. He made me rev it a few times and he didn't look convinced. I showed him the EPA cert. Finally he just walked away and came back 5 minutes later with a sticker. Welcome to NJ...even STOCK bikes get criticized. BTW: Registration is $65 now instead of $31.50! | ||

The stock exhaust is a little deceiving to the eye. I had no idea how HUMONGOUS that thing was until I saw some photos of me cornering at NJ Motorsports Park during California Superbike School. That thing is HUGE, but it's well hidden underneath the bike. | ||

reg is really cheap in NJ compared to CA. My 1990 Kawi police run out cost 69. I don't even look at how my reg fees for my 25r or my vehicles...just hurts the wallet. | ||

That thing is HUGE, but it's well hidden underneath the bike. Have you ever seen the back of the can when the rear wheel is off? That's the first time I realized how huge it is. YOu are right, it is hidden extremely well. | ||

It is funny. The inspector was the 2nd guy to ask if the exhaust was stock. Another guy waiting for inspection with a Ducati Monster commented that it "looked cool". ac | ||

No inspections here in MT. Perm. Registration and licensing for $86 and no sales tax... I like the stock exhaust, until I can afford to like the HPE and a Factory Race fairing that is...  | ||

Avc8130, I took mine in for inspection in Flemington, NJ last year. The guy started inspecting it and asked me what year it was. When I told him it was an 08 he said it didn't need to be inspected. He asked me for a yellow card from the dealer and I didn't have it. So he sent me to Motor Vehicle up the road to get said card,which amazingly took only 15 minutes. When I returned he filled out some paperwork and slapped on a 4 yr. new vehicle sticker. Next inspection 2012. Don't know why bike dealers can't do that like auto dealers when you purchase. | ||

BTW: Registration is $65 now instead of $31.50 Holy mole! $14 a year here in NY. MT. Perm. Registration and licensing for $86 and no sales tax Try Indiana. I just renewed the plates on my 2003 XB9R. It was $100.00. | ||

Palerider, Dealers should do that...most just suck. I thought about that but I didn't know I could go get the yellow card from a "real" DMV. Darn. ac | ||

A lot of states are broke and poorly run. High vehicle registrations are a way to help generate fee revenue to support programs. | ||

if he didn't like the stock muffler's sound, you can forget about the D & D exhaust then! It's the loudest exhaust system I've ever heard, but me likey!  | ||

If I had an aftermarket exhaust I would just do what everyone else does...pay $25 to a dealer to get a sticker. I just figured with a completely stock bike I could get my inspection done since I paid $65 for it through registration! ac | ||
