The VS-1074M is available online at dmv.ny.gov.

The Vehicle Inspection Record (VS-1074M) is used to record inspections performed on and inspection certificates issued for motorcycles. It is

also used to record information about motorcycles that are rejected after inspection. When completed, the form must be kept by the facility for two

years after the last entry. The inspection station must enter the facility name, address, and facility number in the space provided on each form.

When a motorcycle is presented for inspection, you must perform a complete and thorough inspection. If the motorcycle fails because of items

that need repair, adjustment or replacement, you must notify the customer of this and request authorization before performing repairs. If the

customer authorizes repairs, complete the repairs, enter the repair order number in column 8 and the certificate number in column 9. If the

customer chooses not to have the motorcycle repaired, write “Rejected” in column 9. After repairs are completed, the inspection data should be

recorded on the VS-1074M. This includes any items that were cause for failure. These items must be noted in column 7. Any items that would

cause the motorcycle to fail if repairs were NOT made, must be recorded on the VS-1074M.

For each inspection performed, enter the following information in the appropriate numbered column:

1. enter the date of the inspection (Month/Day/Year).

2. enter the odometer reading, as it appears on the motorcycle, followed by an “M” if the reading is in miles, or a “K” if the

reading is in kilometers. If the odometer is broken or missing, write the word “Broken” or the word “Missing”.

3. enter the model year of the motorcycle, as it appears on the registration or other documents. If the year of the motorcycle is wrong,

tell the customer that it should be corrected, but do not reject the motorcycle for the wrong year.

4. enter the make of the motorcycle.

5. enter the license plate number. If the motorcycle does not have a plate, or displays a “Dealer” plate, enter the vehicle identification

number (VIN) instead. If the motorcycle has an out-of-state plate, enter the state and plate number.

6. indicate how brakes were inspected. If brake inspection was by road test, write “T” in this column. If one or more wheels were

visually inspected or pulled, indicate which one(s).

7. if the motorcycle fails inspection, list the items that failed. Use the number(s) from the code list in column 12.

8. enter the number of the repair order, if one was prepared. (If repairs are to be performed, an invoice must be prepared, and the

customer’s authorization must be obtained.)

9. if the motorcycle passes inspection, enter the number of the certificate (VS-1082.1) issued. If the motorcycle fails inspection, enter

the word “Rejected”.

10. from the certified inspector’s card, enter the number of the certified inspector who performed the inspection.

11. check this box if tire pressure is not within specifications. Do not reject the vehicle. The motorist must be notified of the

problem.
