OK guys, havin rec regd 4 bikes in vic(inc crf50) let me just state the facts as some of you have it all screwed up.
For rec reg you need: A headlight, a taillight with a clear section for numberplate illumination, a right hand mirror, a chain guard, a guard or cover for the front sprocket, and a horn.
The horn does not have to be and electric type, a bicycle horn fulfills requirements.
The electrical system must not be a total loss system, ie if you run them off a battery, the battery must be charged by the engine.
To rec reg a bike in your name you must at least have a learners permit, if you dont have one you will have to reg it in the name of someone with a license.
As for a receipt Vicroads will accept any receipt with the engine and frame number and name of person you bought it off, even if it is handwritten.
Once you are rec regd, if you have an accident you are covered by TAC insurance, as long as your accident occurs on a named track/road.
. This is what i used on my crf 50 as it is the same as a crf/xr one but it has lighting coils. Once you have swapped stators, the wire for the lighting coil needs to go to a regulator and a rectifier, buy a combined unit of ebay.The rectifier converts ac to dc and the regulator keeps the voltage at no higher than 12v dc. Heres a wiring diagram for it
.Put in a switch between the stator and reg/rect unit as these will burn out without a load on them. And also as for brake light switchs, you only need it on one lever (front or rear) to fulfill rec reg requirements, so just buy a cheap universal rear switch as its alot cheaper than a front one(especially if you have a disc brake). Hope this helps
hey i was under the impression that in qld riding moto's was always allowed in the bush! nothing needed. our local police tell us to go out bush and there are young kids everywhere riding!
You dont need to be licensed or have a leaners but you do need to be over 17 years and 9 months to get reg in your name, i have no license, but i rec regged my bike, been a bit slack getting my learners
NSW- For anyone wandering about trying to get rec rego for a moto in NSW,News Flash!......Well unless your a farmer on a property........with an ag bike...... forget it.........
Further.......I think the clowns in VIC ROADS, have really messed up, beacuse the REC rego is just supossed to be that and nothing else, you cant ride back streets in suburbia, it's just meant for farmers on farms who has need to cross or ride on a small part of the road.
This stuff up by VIC Roads is going to cost them dearly............................wankers!!!
Ive found a place that will set it all up for you for 350$$. lights break cluster and all!!

But there dirt cheap! i had a look around at other bike shops around my area (live in bentleigh) so napean hwy and what not most of them wanted 600 plus for everything and an install!!
Ill post the address up when i get home!
They also do a good job with the lighting kits!!
