LTO / CITOM: Rules and Regulations for motorcycle use / operation

[omar50071]

1. Changing of the headlight assembly to an aftermarket design - aftermarket designs usually changes the look of the vehicle. much more kung headlight assembly pa gyud. usually headlight aftermarket assemblies are installed to accommodate HID or very bright bulbs. mao na.

2. Changing of the rear shock absorbers. - i don't think this is a violation. what if kung naguba na diay nya imo ilisan ug bag-o? what may be meant here is kanang pang lumba nga shocks which is dili pwede.

3. Changing of the original rims to aluminum magwheels. - magwheels for motorcycles are only for racing. dili pwede.

4. Changing of the tires to wider and better compounds. - i don't think this is a violation. same like sa awto. unless pang racing imo tires di gyud na pwede.

5. Changing of the footpegs to aftermarket rearsets - i don't think so.

6. Changing of the light bulbs to brighter brands - not a violation unless its HID or something like that ky suwaw na sa imo kasugat. kuyaw sa disgrasya. same sa awto.

7. Changing of the front wheel fairings to an aftermarket design. - most do this ky para pang racing. di pwede.

8. Changing of the brake discs to a larger diameter for more accurate braking. - again, very large brake discs are only for racing. that's why it's a violation.

ALL these u mentioned from 1 to 8 is more or less modifying the orig design for "racing" (or if u didn't intend to race, just the looks) which is a clear violation...common sense.

SCOOTERS are supposed to look and function like, well, scooters.

matay, lugi ang mga aftermarket parts sellers ani...hikhikhik

actually this is long overdue. it's about time we erase this mentality that scooters can be modified anytime to make it look like a racer or function like one.

Daghan na na dire sa Mandaue going Consolacion ay. mag lumba lumba inig ka kadlawn.

OMG, changing spare parts that looks like for racing is a violation nowadays? Absurd!


How about those ninja bikes bro, dakponon pud diay na kay its looks, design and spare parts are for racing also. It could run 3x much faster than those ordinary honda XRM.

Might as well regulate the sales of all types of sports cars and bikes para wala nay illegal racing, or are they singling out the bikes only?

Absurd? Suwayi kno...(i'm talking about scooters ha)

how about racing type tailpipes? di ba pang racing ra man unta nya pero gitaud lng para to look and hear loud like one? now kana ang absurd. how about magwheels? di ba pang racing ra man unta na? and how about very large disc brakes, di ba pang racing ra man unta na?

Scooters are scooters. Not racers.

hehe, Bro, of course ninja bikes runs faster than scooters coz ninja bikes are not scooters. Yes, they are for racing but that is what they are, ninja bikes. Just like sport cars. And they don't need to be modified for daily use.

There's a big difference with scooters making them into racers than ninja bikes as is.

Nkakita na diay kag ninja bike nga gi modify to look like a scooter? Sarcastic this may seem but that is to prove my point.

they are focusing more now on the scooters coz this is usually the mode of transport of robberies and other crimes. before, ila sad ni gipang operation ang mga modified cars.

mahangyo ra na! tunoli 100 ang enforcer, di ba moingon pa nag "ayaw e-paklaro dri sa kilid etunol"..
bisag pila pa na ilang penalty diha wa gihapon nay au, atong mga enforcer mga nawong na og kwarta usa pa nabatasan na natong mga pinoy nga naanad ta og suhol, taga lihok puro underground. law enforcement dri pilipinas? loslos!!! ang naghimo ra sa balaod maoy mag una-una sa kaboang!!!!!
busa mga kids padayon gihapon ta modify sa atong mga motor

[murdock]

Tricycle are under D , in which a motorcycle is not intended to have a sidecar...it even stated in the user manual...

sakto gyud ka bro. tricycle is a modification on the part of the motorcycle. karahon kaha ta ni ang D.

[murdock]

letter E. kung mag.sandal ka? ok lang

[james_chaw]

seems to me that all of this is just a clever ploy to gain more revenue for the city government. All in all, it's absurd to think that such rules will be enforced to the full extent of the law.

Scooters are scooters. Not racers.

Mag wheels are not used only for racing oi, sus maryosep! Mag wheels are much more durable than ordinary wheels with spokes, that is why I replaced mine with it. For the very large disc brakes, they perform better than the ordinary ones in terms of braking, dili ra na pa choy oi. Dili man tanan motor bike owners ni replace ug parts para magkig lumba-anay, kundi para mo maayo tan-awon, safe padaganon and comfortable during the ride. I'm sure kabalo ka ana, pero nganong wala man cla ka huna-huna dinha dapita. Broad ra lage kaayo ila guidelines, wala gamiti ug common sense.

Sa imong pangagpas bro, kung ang ninja i modify into scooter, dakpon pud na nila? Ni fall baya na sa letter "D" which is "Modifying original designs" klaro ana.

Now if you say kato rang motor na naay parts sa pang racing ang dakpon, kay mahadlok cla ug illegal racing, ngano lagi ang mga racing bikes wala man nila pang dakpa kung mao na ila rason. My point is, kung illegal racing ilahang gi likayan, apilon to nila ang motor na built for racing purposes, dili lang katong looks like for racing lang. Parehas gud anang airsoft guns, kung ma kit-an ka ana flaunting it in public places, pwede ka dakpon, how much more kung real guns imo dad-on, get my point?

they are focusing more now on the scooters coz this is usually the mode of transport of robberies and other crimes. before, ila sad ni gipang operation ang mga modified cars.

I know, that is why they had random checkpoints on motorcycles only after every block in the city and I dont have a problem with it. Pero I cant seem to connect why having your rims changed would makes it a violation, did they do that on cars too before, as far as I know wala,

I'm sure kabalo ka ana, pero nganong wala man cla ka huna-huna dinha dapita. Broad ra lage kaayo ila guidelines, wala gamiti ug common sense.

na hala, if u think the guidelines is broad, it is ur opinion. mine is based on common sense lang.

i did not say nga people modify their scooters para makig lumba-anay. It's more on the looks. Now, whether pang looks ra imoha, u can't blame TMG or LTO to suspect u r modifying it for illegal racing or for committing crime...And the extent of modifying them depends if nka lapas ka ug rules.

I dunno lang ha about disc brakes but i think it's the other way around. Changing to a very large disc brake compromises safety for a scooter originally designed with its orig braking system. why? pilit lage kaayo kung makuratan ka pero pilit pud imong nawong sa atubangan...or kuyaw pa gyud ka ma slide.

and btw, mag wheels is originally used for racing. But since the pop culture like "dubs" came to being, owners use it to increase performance, manipulate handling and suspension, and/or signify luxury, sportiness, or wealth.

Mag wheels is short for "magnesium" alloy wheels. I don't think changing to mag wheels is a violation. There is a safety issue though coz magnesium alloy wheels are flammable; fires occurred with this type which are very difficult to extinguish.

And Aluminium wheels are often mistakenly called "mag wheels". it's not.

Sa imong pangagpas bro, kung ang ninja i modify into scooter, dakpon pud na nila? Ni fall baya na sa letter "D" which is "Modifying original designs" klaro ana.

of course, dakpon gyud ghapon na...laliman ka ninja bike ang naa sa imong OR ug CR nya scooter na ang dagway...but anyway that was just a sarcastic point of my argument.

one thing lang, i didn't see (since my childhood) that a ninja bike was modified to something not a ninja bike anymore.

talking about tricycles, they are not illegal as long as correct lng imong registration nga 3-wheeled vehicle or something like that. naa man gani na sa LTO category.

Now if you say kato rang motor na naay parts sa pang racing ang dakpon, kay mahadlok cla ug illegal racing, ngano lagi ang mga racing bikes wala man nila pang dakpa kung mao na ila rason. My point is, kung illegal racing ilahang gi likayan, apilon to nila ang motor na built for racing purposes, dili lang katong looks like for racing lang. Parehas gud anang airsoft guns, kung ma kit-an ka ana flaunting it in public places, pwede ka dakpon, how much more kung real guns imo dad-on, get my point?

bro, illegal racing is only one factor of many. nka kita na diay ka ug ninja bikes ga lumba illegally. ambot lng ky kung sa akoa wa pa man gyud ko kita. Mga scooters ra man dire ang cge ga lumba ug kadlawn.

Another is modifying it to change what is indicated in the CR. Like color for example.

Another is modifying it to make it a public nuisance. Like changing to loud tailpipes (trambotso).

Another is modifying it to risk the factor of safety. Like extension sa seats sa habal-habal. Like removing the side mirrors.

I know, that is why they had random checkpoints on motorcycles only after every block in the city and I dont have a problem with it. Pero I cant seem to connect why having your rims changed would makes it a violation, did they do that on cars too before, as far as I know wala,

for motorcycle rims, wa pa ko kadungog nga na isyuhan...im not even sure if this is a violation.

But i have to cite an example regarding my newly bought car. Honda said that ma waive automatically kno ang akong VEHICLE WARRANTY if i modify it using bigger and wider rims. I just dunno if it applies to newly bought bikes.

re cars, cars with loud tailpipes parahon na ky maaan ug racing car. dayon ila tanawon kung gi modify ba imong engine for racing. daghan na naparahan did2 sa may starmart recla inig ka gabii bro. hasta pud kanang nigamit ug HID bulbs...

[hobie]

Sa cebu lng bah na mga bro?

[omar50071]

na hala, if u think the guidelines is broad, it is ur opinion. mine is based on common sense lang.

when u speak of mag wheels, the rims will be wider. so u also have to change the fittings para mag igo. i dunno lang ha kung wa ba ta ngkasinabot ani. when i say change the rims from spoke to solid type but has the same width and diameter as the original, that to me is not a magwheel. correct me lng if im wrong.

Wala jud ta magkasinabot dinhing dapita, mag wheels for motorcycle for me meant katong solid type na walay spokes ex. racing boy brand.

of course, dakpon gyud ghapon na...laliman ka ninja bike ang naa sa imong OR ug CR nya scooter na ang dagway...

Kung ang disc plate, rims and shock absorbers ra ang usbon bro parehas sa scooters, all the rest as is where is, dakpon diay ghapon na?

bro, illegal racing is only one factor of many. nka kita na diay ka ug ninja bikes ga lumba illegally. ambot lng ky kung sa akoa wa pa man gyud ko kita. Mga scooters ra man dire ang cge ga lumba ug kadalwn.

Katong nag lumba ra unta ang ilaha dakpon, dili katong nag ilis ug parts or better yet klarohon ang ilaha guidelines and give specifics sa mga parts sa motor na dili angay gamiton, not issue sweeping guidelines showing how stupid they can get.

Another is modifying it to change what is indicated in the CR. Like color for example.

Another is modifying it to make it a public nuisance. Like changing to loud tailpipes (trambotso).

Another is modifying it to risk the factor of safety. Like extension sa seats sa habal-habal. Like removing the side mirrors.

Mao ni ako pasabot, they should have sat down with motorcycle clubs or any organizations for that matter before they even implement it para dili kaayo cla tantong bogo tan-awon.

akong pangagpas bro, changing the rims of motorcycles differs a lot from changing the rims of a car. im not even sure if this is a violation.

as of now, cars with loud tailpipes parahon na ky maaan ug racing car. dayon ila tanawon kung gi modify ba imong engine for racing. daghan na naparahan did2 sa may starmart recla inig ka gabii bro. hasta pud kanang nigamit ug HID bulbs...

but for motorcycle rims, wa pa ko kadungog nga na isyuhan...

I hate those saba ug tambotso pud bro, kay para nako disturbing the peace kaayo labi na kung subdivision ka puyo unya mo uli ka kadlawon, ma motor or ma four wheels, pabor ko anang i regulate na, pero sa rims, murag lahi ra bro.
