• The date of registration is before 01st July 2007, TFL will consider it non-compliant.
  
• The date is as above but the Exhaust Emission section is populated, then all you need to do is send a copy of the V5C to the ULEZ dept at TFL and they will then update the website to show it as compliant.(may not require having to create a TFL account so good).
  
• But if the date is before 01/01/07 and the Exhaust Emission section is not-populated, then you can either request a letter of homologation from Yamaha stating the Euro3 status (I believe there is no charge for this, which is the route I am going down).
  
• Or you can just pay the £75 to Yamaha to get a CoC if the bike is older than 2002 (Euro3 came in for motorcycles in 2002)
  
• Honda don't charge for the CoC, while all the others do - Yamaha(£70), Kawasaki (TBC), Suzuki (£90).
  
• An alternative (albeit scam) option, if you can't get a Euro3 status letter or a CoC, is to get it emissions (NOx) tested (see below)
  

• The owner has a family member who works inside TFL. This may or may not explain why -
  • [li]This shop (Riverbank m/c) is only place with the ability to do the emissions test for ULEZ compliance.
    
  • The charge is £175 and is what most people would consider a scam.
    
  [/li]
  
• If your bike fails the emissions test, RB m/c charge £75 to jam a catalytic convertor into the exhaust (link pipe) of carburetted vehicle.
  • [li]As understand it, fitting a cat to a carburetted vehicle will at best last few months before the cat is useless, therefor fitting it would appear to be fraudulent?
    
  • The owner has been quoted as saying 'it doesn't matter, once the bike has passed the test you can just remove it'. I will leave the obvious conclusion to you the motorcyclist.

• Here is a report of a Yamaha RD350 & TDR250 passing the above test, which shows ULEZ is basically a scam.

It was a bit like Mad Max 2 with everyone searching for the fuel, the precious fuel!.
