This rule incorporates by reference the standards found in 49 CFR 571 as the minimum standards a motor vehicle must meet to pass a safety inspection, unless state law provides a different standard. In Section R714-161-5, the title has been changed. It also states this rule is applicable to all motorcycles. In Section R714-161-6, the title has been changed. If a test drive needs to be performed off the station's property, the customer shall be informed. Inspection fees have been removed from the rule, but are found in statute. In Section R714-161-7, the title has been changed. Some of the wording for inspecting license plates has changed, but violations are still an "advise". License plate positioning is more clearly defined. In Section R714-161-8, the title has been changed. In Section R714-161-9, the title has been changed. In Section R714-161-10, the title has been changed. In Section R714-161-11, the title has been changed. Some of the wording has been modified, but is essentially the same criteria. If a tail lamp bulb or lens is tinted or covered with any material that impairs the intended original performance expectations of the light, it is a "reject".

In Section R714-161-14, the title has been changed. The rule now states that a chain or sprocket is rejected if worn beyond manufacturer's specification rather than stating a chain or sprocket is rejected for being worn. The words "A stay strap or bar is acceptable" have been removed from the part related to inspecting handholds on a seat designed for two people. In Section R714-161-15, the title has been changed. In Section R714-161-16, the title has been changed. "Excessive noise" has been removed as an item the inspector checks for. In Section R714-161-17, the title has been changed. In Section R714-161-18, the title has been changed. This section replaces the "Two Wheel Dirt Bikes" section. It has been simplified and requires that a motorcycle originally designed to travel off-highway and has been modified to be street legal is subject to the same vehicle standards in Rule R714-161. The section for inspecting street-legal all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) will be replaced by a new rule (Rule R714-163). The section titled "Mopeds and Mini-motorcycles" has been eliminated because safety inspections are not required for mopeds and are exempt from registration. Mini-motorcycles do not need to be safety inspected or registered in Utah. (Editor's Note: The proposed new Rule R714-163 is under Filing No. 40542 in this issue, July 15, 2016, of the Bulletin.)
