NH inspection ?

[nhtodd]

Well this might be a silly question but I cant find info on what all is inspected in a motorcycle inspection in NH. I've never registered a bike in NH and this will be my first year this spring so figured I'd ask now so I'm ready come spring. This is for my 95 zx6r. Everything is bone stock right now.
Thanks,
Todd

It its anything like Mass, and if it truly is bone stock, just make sure the following are safe/working:

Tires - plenty of tread left, no visual sign of severe cracking/age
Lights/signals - all working properly
Brakes - Plenty of life in pads
Exhaust - you say its stock, so no real worries here
License plate - as you said, stock so no worries. Plate light functioning
Brake signals - switches from front and rear levers working

Horn as well. I typically use my horn 2-3 times a year, once is for the inspection.

Most shops will have you in and out in 10 minutes.

no leaks in shocks or fork, at least 1 mirror

exaust 106db @2800rpm for thumpers and twins, @ 3500 rpm for 3+ cylinders, measured 45° angle 20" from pipe

Fork seals, good add. I forget about those.

Exhaust noise? Never. Maybe it's cause my bikes have always had stock pipes. But never even seen my guy reach for a meter. From the looks of his shop, I'd be surprised if he had one.

Me, I'll spend the next 5 months wondering if my tires will pass or not. (Which is probably a sign.)

...at least 1 mirror

Does anyone know if there are any real requirements on the mirror?

Would this handlebar mount mirror pass? http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Equi...le_mirror5.htm

Maybe it depends on where you go, or at least how much the place cares. The place that did my inspection checked not only the brake pads, but the thickness of the brake disks. They checked the steering head and swingarm bearings. I don't know the full list, but it was pretty long.

It's unobvious to me how big that thing is. Looks like it's probably close.

tires
brakes
lights (head, turn, brake (front and rear), plate and any other light)

these are usually the big ones
