Motorbike WOF testers

mals69, May 31, 8:16am
Went for WOF yesterday at a On The Go and was told
no longer doing motorbikes WOF's as motorbike
WOF tester gone.
What is the go these days do you to find a
WOF inspector that has passed some motorbike
WOF exam or can your local garage with WOF
ticket still do motorbike WOF's ?

look for garage that is motor bike qualified there is not many of us general garages that can do them

most motorbike shops with a workshop would do wofs

McLean's on Main South Road across from Springs road intersection do bikes, entrance around the back (go down next to the BP).

I think they want a rider to do it, what if they smashed it and the guy couldn't shouldn't ride? Makes sense to me they'd only do bikes if they have a rider there to do it.

Funnily enough the AVI's that are endorsed to carry out bike inspections also have motorbike license's.

They have tightened up on motorcycle inspectors - to stop VTNZ sending their guys out for a learners license so they can do bike WoF's. Now you have to have worked as a motorcycle mechanic or show enough involvement with motorcycles to show comprehensive knowledge. Grandfathered so all those guy who've just done a learners course can still issue them. but there will be less and less motorcycle testers out there.

AA Hornby, Suzuki at Main Sth roundabout both do motorbike warrants. so will all of the main testing stations. although I live at west Melton, I have the choice only of Kirwee, bike shop in Darfield, AAhornby . used to be one down Carmen Rd, but it's now a AA work shop.

Cheers for the answer and suggestions where togo - went to
VTNZ Northwood after the no go Shirley On The Go.
Two of the guys that worked at Shirley OTG were now at
VTNZ Northwood.

yes but learners can only wof a bike to 650cc and only lams approved ones

It all seems bit odd to this cowboy why someone
that can do car WOF's cannot do bike WOF's when there
is bugger all to a bike ?

Most VTNZ branches do motorcycle WOF's and Rangiora Mazda
