megabusa euro 3 or euro 4
veld - 22/2/12 at 04:13 PM

Hello,

i have yesterday an appointement for the RTI of my Megabusa un France.
Everything is ok with the dreal and now i have to passed the test UTAC.
And i have an important question : since the last year there a new test , if the car is euro 4 and of course euro 5, witch seem to be impossible for a BEC.
So do you know if in England the Megabusa is euro 3 or euro 4 for the polution and do you have a lambda on your motor of Yahabusa ?
Thanks in advance.

I think you will find that 99-2002 engines are euro 1 compliant, 2003-2007 are euro 2. Only the new Hayabusa from 08 onwards are euro 3. There are no Euro 4 motorcycles as the latest requirement is euro 3. Lambda sensors have been fitted since 2003.

My motor is 2007 and i don't see lambda ?

Alphasports suggests lambda on 2008 bike



not on 2007



but that is a US site, so could be different to UK.

thanks for the picture, i see the lambda on the exhaust but where is the lambda on the motors ?
Do you know if there is a really difference between euro 3 and euro 4 ?
And is it possible possible to have an attestation than in UK the Megabusa passed the tests to euro 3 ?
Thanks .

Since this year,

for UTAC every car imatriculate since 2006 need to pass the EURO 4, what it's impossible with a BEC....
So i need to have the prove that in UK the Megabusa is EURO 3...

Have you tried contacting Suzuki UK? They might be able to tell you whether the 2007 is Euro 3 compliant or not based on the engine number. They may also provide you with written proof. Either way, I would suspect that the Euro 3 compliancy is achieved due to a combination of the engine and the exhaust system. I'm not so sure they would provide written proof for an engine with a custom fabricated exhaust. In which case it might be best not to mention that it's fitted in a kitcar, or alternatively, tell them you're using the standard factory engine and silencer.

Obviously, if it isn't Euro 3 compliant you may have a bigger problem.

UTAC - Union Technique de l’Automobile, du motocycle et du Cycle is a private French company with an official mandate for vehicle approvals, safety testing, and vehicle inspection.

RTI - Reception à Titre Isolé Before being able to register a foreign vehicle in France and receive the Certificate d'Immatriculation registration document, the vehicle must conform to the French road standards. The simplicity of the process can vary depending on the make, age and country of origin of the vehicle. There are two ways to identify that the car is of a recognised type in France or in the EU. Either by the identification number given by the manufacturer for cars produced in series (Certificate de Conformité Europeen) or with a “Attestation RTI" (Reception à Titre Isolé) from DREAL

Euro 3/4/5 - European emission standards which define the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in EU member states. The emission standards are defined in a series of European Union directives staging the progressive introduction of increasingly stringent standards.

All the above is courtesy of Google and Wikipedia, so it's probably incorrect.............

You seem to know the subject....
The problem is in France , the autority don't want we import exotic cars....
So if we don't find solutions for euro 4, it will be impossible to passed RTI with BEC....
Like you say , i will try to contact Suzuki and to try to have an attestation for euro 3.
You havn't problems with VOSA with euro 4 or euro 3 in UK ?
Thanks

Oui, je vois, peut-être si vous donnez ces un anneau qu'ils pourraient être en mesure d'aider

The Westfield Dealer in France can't do something, because the Megabusa never been imported in France....
So the last chance is Suzuki or Westfield UK...

I needed some info regarding my Busa engine and contacted Suzuki customer service. They were extremely helpful, but the number I have is for UK customers only. You maybe able to contact them by fax http://ccr.suzuki.co.uk/faq.php but I am sure if you go on the Suzuki France site the number will be there.

Cheers, Nick
