Engine change dvla tax question
As you might of read in a thread i'm thinking about an engine change 05R1 to 06/07 zzr1400
now at sva march last year it was tested on emissions for an engine of that year
it was also registured on a current plate so 09, and i'm paying £125 a year tax which i think is band F in the new tax class
what will happen if/when i change to the zzr1400 will it need to be tested for emissions or will i stay in the same class as it's still a bike
engine? Hmmmm
ETA the class i'm in also looks the same as the old before 1 march 2001 ie under 1549 £125
so as kitcars are we put in the old class

as far as i know all kitcars are put in the old class based on cc's. CO2 emissions testing costs a fortune so its not done unless your a major
manufacturer.
Still be under 1549 so wont change. Not sure if theres a charge for changing an engine number. Probably is knowing dvla!

MOT emissions
"Vehicles Fitted with a differnt engine
Test according to which is older, engine or vehicle.
e.g. A 1995 car fitted with a 1991 engine (of whatever make), test to 1991 standards for emission purposes.
"

Yep at MOT time i know i'd have to be emission tested on the current engine at the time of test? 2006/2007 zzr1400

Emmisions limits at MOT will be the same as at SVA.
Tax will remain, as with all kits, based on capacity of the engine: So that won't change either.
