NC Inspection

countrylovin85 · 07-10-2022, 09:28 AM

Hey guys im Mike and recently purchased a Hawk. So far I love this bike. I do however have a concern with the safety inspection. The key has to be on in order to turn on the lights, signals, horn, etc. Is their a way to bypass this? NC can be strict sometimes and I can see them failing me for this.

This is exactly how every Japanese motorcycle I have ever owned operates. You must have the key in the run position for horn, lights, turn signals, etc. It cannot be a problem.

This is my first. Going through other peoples post I saw someone saying it would probably be an issue upon renewing registration. Thanks for that information

live in NC, had my hawk inspected about two months ago and it passed just fine. don't think it'll be an issue.

A lot of bikes, like both my Kawasakis, won't provide power to the lights until the engine is running.

I live in NC and have had my Hawk inspected 3 times without problems.
