Motorcycles

Before you hit the road, Saskatchewan law says that your motorcycle must meet the following Saskatchewan motorcycle regulations and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear properly fastened and approved helmets.

Saskatchewan references the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards to determine acceptable motorcycle helmets (PDF, 1.04MB).

Motorcycle registration in Saskatchewan

A motorcycle must meet the motorcycle requirements included in The Vehicle Equipment Regulations and be registered in order to operate on a public highway.

Motorcycles that have a Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Label of Compliance indicating the motorcycle was manufactured for street use (MC, LSM, MVL, or LSM/MVL) may be registered to operate on a public roadway.

SGI, as the administrator may approve the registration of other motorcycles that meet the requirements of the administrator and The Vehicle Equipment Regulations. Contact Vehicle Standards and Inspection 1-800-667-8015, extension 6188.

New motorcycles

If you are registering a new motorcycle, you must provide the New Vehicle Information Statement (NVIS) which the dealer should have given you. When you purchase a new motorcycle be sure to ask the dealer for the NVIS because you cannot register the motorcycle without it.

You will also need a Bill of Sale to register your new motorcycle. An inspection is not required.

Used motorcycles

If you are registering a used motorcycle with an engine capacity of 474 cc or greater, you must have the serial numbers inspected prior to registering. To make an appointment for inspection, please contact your nearest SGI claims centre or municipal police force.

Transfer from another province

A current out-of-province registration is acceptable as proof of ownership provided that the same name also appears on the Saskatchewan application.

Imported motorcycles

A K22 Customs Clearance Card must be presented to register an imported motorcycle.

An inspection is not required if:

• you are renewing the registration of a motorcycle which was previously registered in your name
• ownership of the motorcycle has not changed since the bike was last registered
• all the serial numbered components are the same as the last time you had the bike registered
