863charlie Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Does anyone know if it a Yamaha YZF Thunderace 1000, 2003 would pass the Euro 3 emissions diagnostic test if I get a new full exhaust system, spark plugs, get the carbs sorted and fill it with premium fuel or will it be a wast of time and I'll have to fork out for another bike, which I don't really want to as I love the bike I have now. I commute to central London every day all year and paying £12.00 + is going to kill my pocket. No more drinking with the lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 My bike is compliant yay!, of course there’s the separate issue that if I took it to London and parked it anywhere it wouldn’t be there when I got back as bike theft in London is insane and unfortunately the police arnt well equipped to deal with it no doubt due to policy from the morons in both Westminster and City Hall.OP I hope you manage to get your bike through, having to pay £12.50 for the non privalage of having to ride in that cesspit of a city just isn’t fair!.

Bender Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 At 12 quid a day you could keep your bike and buy a cheap hack to commute with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKERDAD Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think shitty kan can shove London up his poop shoot if he thinks I would pay to ride in London. . As my log book don't have the NOx filled in if asked Honda dealer if they know what it is even when I went in for my MOT and asked the tester he said don't know as its not part of the MOT so I can't help .. and there is no way im paying £175.00 to the ONLY bike tester in London approved by TFL or shitty kan .. . . Hope you get yours sorted m8 I guess 2003 bike it should be ok . It should be on your log book as my bro in law got a 03 bike and his is filled in mine is 96 and its blank . As said above by an run around just for London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I guess 2003 bike it should be ok The general cut off is post 2007 is ok as it's down to the euro...3? regulations and delightfully if they deem your bike as not compliant as standard regardless of what you do you won't be exempt unless you get a piece of paper from their tester. and as a general rule all carb bikes will fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 This is another VW emissions scandal waiting to happen.I reckon any bike could be tuned to pass the emissions test. It won't be very nice to ride, but so long as it's passes the test that's all the matters.So setup the bike/carbs just for the test, deliver it to the test center in a van, pass the test, van it home, re-tune to make it rideable.Two fingers up to khan and his idiotic tax on motorbikes.

I would contact Honda UK and not a dealer. I cannot say 100% it is true, but from another form I have been reading up on ULEZ- " Yamaha, Harley Davidson and KTM all charge for this certificate; Honda doesn’t charge for the first one but does charge for subsequent ones. The oldest bike we have found so far that has a CoC pass is a 2003 ST1300 Pan European." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKERDAD Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi I did yesterday and they got back to me quite quick too . They don't keep a recorded before 2000. As mine 96 .they said I need to have a recognised garage to do the test .. (shitty kant and TFL only recognized tester ) . I guess I'm just have to find another cb750 rider who's got the info and I'm not paying them toasers to tell me . I'll park the bike up or clone the plates lol before I pay them Ps any one know where to get false plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabn Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi, my wife has just got a letter through the post to say that, with the pending London ULEZ expansion, her beloved 2004 Suzuki GN125 (in VERY nice condition) isn't on the "OK list". The Riverbank emmissions test centre is booked out until second week in December so her choices are either to shell out £12 per day (ouch) or swap it out for a more modern bike (last resort - she LOVES that thing!). Does anybody know the likelihod of a 125cc like this passing the emissions test - we could tread water paying the daily fees until December but it's not really feasible in the long term? Thanks in advance for any helpful advice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 That's not good news. A lot of the newer Chinese 125s are based on your very engine but I'm not really sure of the answer. If she was to sell she should get a good price for the GN but not the answer you want. I hope it does pass the emissions test fingers crossed for you !

Blackholesun Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Now he's talking about expanding the ulez to all London boroughs wonder if it's worth me having the coc thing through Yamaha for my 01 fz6 as I drive into a London borough everyday and would have to sell it otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
