Your current bike is NOT required to pass a smog test. California will implement tier 3 (Euro 3) smog testing in 2008 with the feds (49 state) in 2010. Most 2007's are already in compliance including the GSXR 1K with the dual three stage cats. What is illegal NOW is modification of the existing exhaust that is (mostly) ignored at the user level. Its the dealers and shops that are being scorched for the infraction. Our local Harley shop was fined $1500 for EACH Harley they have outfitted with Screaming Eagle exhaust kits and the total was somewhere in the neighborhood of $235,000.
Local farmers are also being forced to replace they're "static engines" (diesel powered water pumps) with C.A.R.B approved systems.
Wood burning stoves sold after 1/1/07 must also meet C.A.R.B. standards (catalytic combustors).
Lawnmowers and yard/power tools will also be required to meet the new standards so...yes Virginia.....your 20cc weed wacker will have a catylytic converter. Eco-war has been declared on the 2 cycle internal combustion engine. Say bye-bye.
The Eco-Nazi's are flexing they're bureacratic muscles and we are in the kill box.
