    I got a cert of conformity from Danfay (Yamaha) by just emailing them with the VIN etc (info@danfay.ie). That was the easy part - I sent it to Shannon with the VRC and a cover letter explaining the categories that need to be corrected. They sent it back with a preset letter saying to contact Revenue which I did (01-7383619) and was advised to send everything via MyEnquiries. Took 3 weeks to get a reply saying they had changed the CO2 figure and informed the Dept of Transport to do the rest 🙄 . Got a new cert in the post yesterday - they only changed 3 of the 6 incorrect categories but at least they did change the power output and the mass (but not the power to weight ratio...) so I hope that's enough for a test to go ahead 😏


    TLDR - Do the freepost method Varik posted as following their instruction gets you a half assed response.

    Guys I have graduated from the learners permit today so while its fresh I'll add a few points.

    Parked cars - leave a doors width minimum as I got faults for coming too close to them even though I knew you had to give room/ and did.

    Life savers - if you do them early, make sure to also do them when just before turning also.

    Got a sign wrong, H sign with 100m on it. Never knew it was Hospital sign so I just said I didn't know.

    Got few minor faults for observation and throttle control when doing the U-turn and slow speed control.

    Lastly a speed limit fault - no sure if I was too fast or too slow.

    Tallaght route

    On the speed faut, it'd be too fast. You get a progress fault for too slow.

    Hi all,

    I wish I’d seen this post earlier, had my test canceled today in Galway over the power output not printed on the logbook.

    out of curiousity : what bike - is it marked on the bike itself ?

    they're not going to go rooting for info : if it's not at their fingertips, they generally just cancel.

    Maybe not, and in particular not in the unlucky riders case above, but, my particular tester did on this occasion, guess it just depends.

    It doesn't just depend... This is the information you are expected to have prepared when you attend for your test... Any good instructor will question you on all of the requirements and make sure you have properly prepared. It's a mistake on your part, but not the end of the world... just reschedule...

    Can't expect the tester to work from hearsay off a source he's not familiar with.

    Don't think that's for me.

    I got my test, the tester thankfully used a bit of initiative and found what he needed. Just saying the info is there if it happened to be overlooked. Just a shame that the other tester could not of done that to the other poster who didn't get their test recently.

    The bike I used is an 02 Fazer 600,I bought it from a guy who passed his test with the same bike at the same test centre.His logbook didn’t have the output on either,guess i was unlucky with the tester I got.

    I did mine this week in Galway. I got a cert from Ivors to prove the kws. Even though it is on logbook. I was told they're looking for it regardless now.

    Not the other poster's fault if Shannon don't do their job properly.

    Scrap the cap!
