Haw. Code R. § 19-133.2-38.6 - Motorcycle inspections
(a) In general,
motorcycles are inspected the same way as their vehicles. Autocycles shall be
inspected using applicable criteria for both motorcycle and car inspections.
The following failure criteria need special attention when inspecting a
motorcycle:
(1) Wheel alignment can be
checked by making three parallel lines one inch apart on the floor. The lines
should be twice the length of a motorcycle. Center the wheels on the centerline
and observe tracking of the rear wheel as the motorcycle is moved forward on
the centerline. If the rear wheel alignment of a two-wheel motorcycle, in
relation to tracking the front wheel, is misaligned by one inch or more, or not
within the manufacturer's specifications, it is a failure;
(2) In addition to the normal criteria, the
vent tube of a motorcycle battery must not drip on the drive chain, or
belt;
(3) A three-wheeled
motorcycle must have a parking brake;
(4) Brake levers must have a little free play
and not contact the handle grip when fully depressed. They must move smoothly
and snap to the resting position when released;
(5) A clutch lever must have a little free
play and not touch the handlebar prior to full clutch disengagement; it must
spring back to the rest position when released;
(6) A motorcycle must have a properly working
engine kill switch if it was manufactured after September 1, 1974;
(7) All tire treads must be covered with
fenders;
(8) Final drive belts and
chains must be adjusted to manufacturer's specifications. Drive shafts must not
leak. Sprockets must be free of damaged, hooked, or missing teeth;
(9) Footrests must be securely mounted for
all riders and must fold upward or rearward and upward when not in use. Seats
or saddle must be securely mounted; side-by-side seating requires seat
belts;
(10) The fuel petcock, if
present, must be able to move to all three positions;
(11) The motorcycle stand must hold up the
motorcycle and continue to hold it when turning the handlebar from stop to
stop. The handlebar must not be more than 15 inches above the portion of the
saddle occupied by the operator; and
(12) The swing arm must not have play or have
damage that adversely affects tracking.

paragraph (a) above, the following vehicle inspection criteria shall be used
