| ________________________ New 2013 Motorcycle Noise Emissions Regulation Frequently Asked Questions |
1. When does the new law take effect?
ANSWER: The new regulation or law is effective as of January 1, 2013. NHMRO will be
providing its members with information to help with the transition to the new testing
method and noise emission limits.
2. Who will perform the tests?
ANSWER: The tests will be performed by the SAME individuals that are in place TODAY;
such as the inspection stations during your yearly inspection or through a *vehicle*
safety inspection road stop. These are legal as long as they do not pull over JUST
motorcycles. If they do, please let us know!
3. Where will the tests be performed?
ANSWER: As specified in the new procedure (SAE J2825) - tests need to be perform
outdoors as to not have sound reverberated off walls/solid objects. That means
inspection stations - and yes - the roadside if necessary as it is today. For a little bit
more info - here's the youtube video on it.
4. Will it be a primary cause to pull motorcycles over?
ANSWER: NO! The same laws of TODAY apply under this new law. If you are running
straight pipes, then yes. If not - then you will be okay. Again - same situations as today.
THEY CAN NOT PULL YOU OVER JUST FOR "THINKING" you might be too loud! That part of
the bill has been removed!
5. What if we don't have a "tach" on our bikes, will we have to allow toothed clamps
on our wiring?"
ANSWER: NO! Not sure where you are getting this information, but they can't do that
today! Police are NOT supposed to "touch your bike" with the clamps you mention. NOW
- to your real question.
In order to test the sound of your bike - the test will be performed at an idle and should
be 92 dB or less. There is a 2 dB variance and as long as you are with in that zone, you
are fine. If you aren't in that zone and are "louder", then a more involved test will be
performed on your bike which will require you to increase your RPMs to 2000 during a
"sweep" test. The level of sound should be 96 db for engines with less than 3 cylinders
or more than 4; or engines with 3 or 4 cylinders should be 100db or less.
If you do not have a tach - the tester/inspector will have a meter that will measure the
RPMs by the sound vibrations from your engine. THERE WILL BE NO CLAMPS.
6. How would this impact me and/or my motorcycle?
ANSWER: The major difference between SAE J2825 testing procedure and our existing
procedure is that this test is at an idle. This makes it easier for the person testing and
for you - in that you don't have to worry about brining the RPMs up to 2800 like you do
today.
Beyond that, if you pass an inspection today, you will more than likely pass this testing
process also.
The major difference between now and the SAE J2825 is that this new procedure is more
accurate and appropriate in that the test was developed specifically for "street bikes".
The "old procedure", believe it or now was meant for "off road motorcycles" - aka dirt
bikes.
If you have any additional questions - please send them a long and we can add them
into our list!

| NHMRO's Motorcycle Awareness Poster |
| MAY is Motorcycle Awareness Month! |
Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month is
a national initiative designed to
encourage drivers of all other kinds of
vehicles and motorcyclists to “share
the road” with each other.
Now that warmer weather is here,
motorcyclists will soon be out in
force. Drivers of cars, trucks and
buses are reminded to look out for
and share the road with motorcycle
riders, and motorcycle riders are
reminded to obey traffic laws, wear
protective gear, and to ride as if "they
can't see you".
NHMRO will be offering safety and
awareness tips all month long on
their FaceBook page.
