Friend recently got a safety done for an R6 here in Ottawa.
Price across all motorcycle dealerships for the safety are $319 plus tax.
Failed for:
- Leaking right fork seal (shop was supposed to perform the fork service BEFORE the inspection but didn't)
- Front Tire (Enough tread, but aging and cracks visible)
- Rear rotor thickness (4.5mm thickness min. 4.48 measured)
- Tinted windscreen
- Fender Eliminator - They wanted the OEM "mud guard" fender in place - even though all 3 reflectors in place and turn signals properly mounted 9 inch apart.
Aftermarket Hindle exhaust wasn't an issue.
Hope this helps.
I've heard the 9in claim for turn signals before but I've only seen that mentioned in US laws not in the Ontario ones. If I am wrong though I'd like to know.
