Everyone seem to Misunderstand the very concept of Modification of motorcycles here in India. Here is what I learned … “as per the Indian law Sec 52 of the M.V.A - Motor Vehicles Act” “No motorcycle owner or vehicle owner shall alter their bikes & cars that the particulars contained in the RC are at variance with those which are originally specified by the manufacturer” There are 2 different MVA … One from Central Gov and other from State Gov. Each state has its own laws depending on their traffic and situation.. In Simple terms : “ Any alterations to the vehicle other than specifications recorded in the RC are considered a violation of the law, i.e.; illegal. “ Usual questions I get on Fb or IMs … are : 1. Can I change the color of my bike? Yes you can. After the RTO approves it … there are certain colours which cannot be used such as , Olive Green, Military Green, Navy Blue & Camouflage Pattern. 2. Can I remove my bikes Mud guards & Silencer /rear view mirror? No. 3. Can I paint my vehicle without informing the RTO? No, you cannot as You would have to get a permission first. If you get caught by the traffic police and your RC book mentions a different color than the one on your bike, it will be considered as stolen, so be careful. 4. Can I change the engine ? Yes you can .. Only when you are opting for a different kind of source of energy or fuel, you cannot change from single cylinder 100cc Petrol to inline 4 600cc petrol … 5. Can I use Songs or patterned sounds instead of normal horns? [ Are you crazy ] --- No. absolutely not. The decibel level of any horn should not exceed 115. 6. Can I use Bright head lights or customized colored bulbs like blue or green or red for indicators ? Yes /No, as long as it becomes a safety issue using very bright head lights … and No, the indicators must use only amber indicator bulbs. 7. How about free flow Exhausts? The exhausts should not protrude out. The decibel level should be below 88. Unless the manufacturer has given you an option to install after-market exhaust upon delivery such as Arrows from triumph or IXIL from Benelli .. Can I change my Tires ? Yes you can, there is no law that prohibits vehicle owners from changing the tires.. Things to Remember : 1. Any changes or modifications to your bike require prior permission from the RTO. For eg: Body Kit / Color etc 2. RTO can validate only the internal changes ie: engine. which may be done for performance enhancement. 3. External modifications like paint job, No. plate etc. can be done with the permission from authorities.
