Which inspection class requires specialized training to inspect motorcycles?

The requirement for specialized training to inspect motorcycles is associated with Class C. This classification is specifically designed for those who will inspect vehicles that are not typically covered under the general classes, which mainly pertain to passenger vehicles and light trucks.

Motorcycles have distinct safety features and mechanical systems that differ from those of standard vehicles. As a result, inspectors need to have comprehensive knowledge and skills specific to motorcycle mechanics, safety standards, and equipment in order to conduct proper inspections. This ensures that motorcycles adhere to safety regulations and are roadworthy, thereby protecting both the rider and others on the road.

In Maine, licensing and training provisions are structured to ensure that inspectors are qualified for the specific classes of vehicles they will be inspecting, and Class C reflects that necessity for inspecting motorcycles.
