Relocating to AZ from N'east. I did a search but could not find an answer. Does AZ have emissions testing for bikes? Someone I know who lives there has a '06 model and he believes that the bike has to be 3 or more years older for emissions testing. I have a '07 FLHX with a PC III and the o2 sensors are removed and replaced with plugged with 18 mm bolts. Am I going to have any issues when the bike gets inspected? I really don't want any problems. I can't jut put the o2 sensors back in because the front cylinder was a sob to remove the o2 sensor because the sensor was cross threaded, as I feel was put in incorrectly @ factory. When I put the plug in it was a sob and I think it is stripped. Thanks.

 

Live in the desert. Its 5 years after new purchase. My 2003 is due in 2008 for emissions. My 95 is due every year. It takes about 20 minutes and around $25. Welcome to the dry heat. Just ride up north early in the middle of summer and you will love the state. It has so much to offer.

Thanks forever. In 5 years I will have a new bike!!!

 

Sweet! Maybe you will have two or more!! I did not mention that only Maricopa County has emmission testing. If you are far south or north you get a free pass! No emissions. I will try to locate some current info for you or you could try az.gov and they may have it on site.

None on the east side. Welcome to AZ.

 

Thanks all. I am moving to Queen Creek, 1 block into Pinal County!! I guess I am safe from emissions.

 

I believe Maricopa, Pinal and Pima are the only counties with emissions testing. It can be a real biotch for some bikes and it's annual for all bikes. It doesn't matter how old either. They all have to pass the same test a new bike has to pass. I'm glad I left. I do miss the riding though.

 

Tuscon had it repealed already and hopefully so will Maricopa, it's in legislation right now. What a pain in the ***.

 

move to the n.w. (or) wa, have zero bike checks,

 

I read this artice this morning on azcentral.com.

Motorcycles would get a pass on the state emissions test, under the terms of a bill signed into law last week.
But there's a catch: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must determine that the exemption would not harm Maricopa County's plan for maintaining healthful air-quality levels.
State air-quality officials think that will be a pretty easy thing to do - even though as recently as two years ago, the agency determined that an exemption would increase air pollution. Currently, there are 40,479 motorcycles registered in Maricopa County.

In a statement, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality said current motorcycle emissions are "not significant" and could easily be compensated for by a pending program that will check for oil leaks during vehicle inspections.
That program, dubbed the "liquid leaker" program, is scheduled for a regulatory review soon by a state agency. It would do more to cut ozone-forming emissions than the continued testing of motorcycles, agency officials say.
Getting rid of the emissions test also would put Arizona in step with the rest of the country, ADEQ said: This state is the only one that requires a motorcycle-emissions test, and only in Maricopa County.
House Bill 2280, sponsored by Rep. Jerry Weiers, R-Glendale and himself a motorcycle rider, moved through the Legislature with little comment or controversy. The House of Representatives approved it on a 59-0 vote; in the Senate, it passed 22-6, with the "no" votes coming from some Democrats.
Gov. Janet Napolitano signed it into law last week.
The bill requires the EPA to verify that exempting motorcycles would not endanger Maricopa County's clean-air plan. It sets a July 1, 2010, deadline for EPA action.
Niloufar Glosson, a spokeswoman for EPA's regional office that covers Arizona, said the agency needs to examine data from the state before signing off.[/align]
