serpentracer Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) so if you guys haven't heard all motorcycles sold in europe has to meet a pretty strict set of emissions standards coming. some are applied to bikes starting in 2017. the new GSXR has them, and a few others. so far Yamaha has had to remove it's awesome onboard diagnostics on the R1 that I know of. the 17 owners are upset that if you remove anything emissions related the check engine light comes on and you can't turn it off. (like installing smog block off plates) and you have to have the dealer read the code. no more users turning things off or reading their own codes and troubleshooting issues from the service manual. bikes will start off being ODB1 compliant then move to being ODBII compliant . that's right, it's the same system in use in cars/trucks etc. so no more codes that tell you exactly what the problem is on a yamaha for example. nope, thanks to some dick politicians in europe we have to deal with bikes that have very vague codes that never pinpoint an issue just like a car has. say goodbye to aftermarket exhaust too I guess... http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/january/mcn-plus---emissions-impossible-what-euro-4-really-means/ Edited May 19, 2017 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
