Approved parts
Why drive with approved parts?
The main principles
Original, of equivalent quality, adaptable, used or refurbished, there is a very precise classification of the spare part.
When it comes to changing the brake pads, spark plugs and other filters on their motorcycle, some swear by par original spare parts. However, adaptable motorcycle parts have more than one string to their bow, especially because they are less expensive ...
The use of spare parts does not affect the manufacturer's warranty! These are indeed parts - often wearing - adapted to each model of motorcycle, and approved as such: fuel filters, clutch discs, silencer, etc.
For obvious reasons of safety and environmental protection, a great deal of equipment and parts must be approved before being placed on the market. This requirement of compliance with technical prescriptions was reinforced with the decree of April 30 transposing the European directive of September 2009.
The safety of other road users is a priority for manufacturers and equipment suppliers.
The safety of a vehicle depends in particular on its compliance with technical requirements. Consequently, before putting a vehicle into service, it is mandatory to have it approved par Public powers. The main objective of the vehicle approval legislation is to ensure that new vehicles have a high level of safety and environmental protection.
The different categories of spare parts
Original spare parts
Spare parts which are of the same quality as the components used in the assembly of a motor vehicle and which are produced according to the specifications and production standards provided byar the automobile manufacturer for the manufacture of components or spare parts intended for the motor vehicle in question. spare parts manufactured on the same production line as these components are included (art. 1.t of regulation n ° 1400 / 02)
Replacement parts of equivalent quality
Spare parts whose quality is equivalent to that of the components which are or have been used for the assembly of the vehicles in question (art. 1.u of regulation n ° 1400 / 02).
Adaptable spare parts
Replaceable spare parts, but which are neither original nor of equivalent quality.
Counterfeit parts
Parts made par a manufacturer in violation of the intellectual and / or industrial property rights of a third party (trademark, patent, design and model, etc.) whose manufacture, import, marketing, possession or use may result in penalties criminal and civil.
Used parts
The sale of used parts responds to a need to be able to have their vehicles repaired at a lower cost and for a quality perceived as sufficient. This answers par elsewhere the need for recycling, which continues to grow. Genuine used parts are used parts, which have already been used on a vehicle and which are then sold for re-use as is.

What risks?
Helmets must be approved for your safety and to avoid having to pay a fine in the event of an inspection. Go to our page "Approved helmets".
The biker or scooter rider who does not wear an approved motorcycle helmet or who wears one but without attaching the chinstrap opposes the administrative and financial penalties provided for inar the Highway Code. He then incurs a fine of 135€ and a withdrawal of 3 points on his driving license. Yes, motorcycle offenses are expensive. Same sanction if these offenses concern the passenger.
Much more than fines, the worst is the physical damage that a fall or shock could cause to the head if it is not protected.ar a good quality helmet.

License plate approval
Considered as the identity card of your two-wheeler vehicle, the license plate is also subject to approval. It can be in aluminum or in plexiglass. However, it must absolutely obey the regulations in force, being in the format 210 x 130 mm. In the event of an infraction, we are here in the 4th class motorcycle infractions, punishable by a fine of 135 € but without withdrawal of points from the driver's license.
Non-compliance of engine power
To be salty, this fine really is! 1500 € is that you risk paying if you increase the engine power of your machine. But why is this unbridling of the engine so dearly sanctioned? Because this action could reduce the braking power required during emergency stops.
Non-compliance of the braking device
The device braking plays an extremely important role in your safety, that of your loved ones and that of other road users. A motorcycle offense at this level cannot be forgiven! Even for the biker or scooter community. Also, when buying a good second-hand canker, however, make sure that it has not undergone any disturbing modification. In the event that the braking device shows obvious signs of modification, you risk a ticket of € 68. No point withdrawal on the driver's license.
Tire modification
In the list of motorcycle offenses that hurt the wallet, the pneumatics are not left out. It must even be said that they are the subject of numerous controls. In the event of lack of conformity, the 4ème class contravention is established, ie a fine of 135 €, without withdrawal of point on the driving license. If the tires on your two-wheeler are starting to deteriorate, it's time to consider changing them. A wear indicator is appropriate to assess the level of degradation of the tires of his bike.
Exhaust muffler approval
Even the exhaust could not escape the motorcycle offenses. Driving with an unlicensed muffler is a traffic violation. Non-approved equipment mounted on your machine will cost you 1 500 €, and it could even go up to 3 000 € (maximum) in case of recurrence
Any operation tending to eliminate or reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system and / or silencer is condemned par the law. This can be translated par change the silencer, remove the baffle, the catalytic converter, or even drive in free exhaust. But also par drilling the baffle or silencer par example.
You risk then two fines of 4 class, i.e. € 135 each (reduced to € 90). To which can be added another 11 € for the use of an unapproved exhaust, as well as immobilization of the vehicle.
Sound non-compliance
Real sources of excitement, frenetic acceleration very often causes adrenaline. We know it ! But when we're driving around town or proximitated by people, it is important to adopt responsible civic behavior and to reduce the noise pollution of your motorbike or scooter as much as possible. If the agent judges that the two-wheeler seems excessively noisy, he is now sworn to give you a fifth class fine, i.e. € 1500 and confiscation of the motorcycle even if this is your first offense!
To know : the noise level authorized for your motorcycle at a standstill is entered in box U.1 of your vehicle registration document. This can be used as a reference in the event of a sound level meter check.
The other "inconsistencies"
• The defect or absence of compulsory motorcycle parts (mirror, buzzer, headlight, etc.) results in a fine of € 68 without removing a point on the driver's license.
• The fault of'lighting results in a fine of 35 € without withdrawal of point on the driving license.
Conclusion
The approval of different spare parts is a process of comparison between the original equipment part and the part to be approved for the aftermarket. This process assures the end consumer and the installer that the part to be installed is identical to that designed forar the vehicle manufacturer.
This fact ensures that the installation of said part will always maintain the level of performance of the vehicle.
It is important to note that the installation of silencer or unapproved catalysts is prohibited and is considered an illegal activity in the European Community, as is the fitting of unapproved tires. Failure to follow these guidelines will be penalized par local authorities.
It should be borne in mind that the main characteristic of an approved part is that it has been successfully subjected to tests to ensure optimum performance.
On recent vehicles (after EURO 4), the use of non-homologated exhaust systems can seriously damage and cause the premature failure of sophisticated exhaust systems.
It is important to remember the difference between a standards and homologation :
Homologation is the certification of a product's conformity to a standard.
A standard is a technical standard defined during production for optimal operation.
Beyond the fines is the problem of insurance. In certain extreme cases, an insurer could refuse its guarantee if the vehicle no longer corresponds to that indicated in the special conditions of the insurance contract.
Here is a mix of the modifications which, although common, are theoretically prohibited, except to have the vehicle returned to the mines: change the size of the tires, the reduction, the blinkers, the wing mirror, lights, install rear controls, fit a wheel arch, replace half-handlebars par a flat handlebar (or vice versa), change the master cylinder brake, replace the silencer par an unapproved device.
On the other hand, all purely aesthetic modifications are authorized. like riding a engine guard, an seat cowl or radiator scoops.
