Broken a bike, informing the DVLA?

[Thom]

Right having broken the gs500 i've now sold the engine, obviously for that engine to be registered on a new bike it has to be 'cancelled' from my own first?

Anyway, does this mean i have to now inform the DVLA the bikes been broken for spares?

If so what do i do?

My V5C doesnt say anything on informing them and i still have the frame which is all legit.

Any help much appreciated!

IIRC there's a little yellow bit that you fill out. You have to tick the box "Tick if you personally broke up this vehicle".

thanks i think i've found it!

Im just holding onto the v5 until the engines collected so i can show its legit and then it's off to the post box

The V5 is the frame, everything else is just an ancilliary part. If you sell the engine and the new keeper registers it on his logbook it will not matter that it's still registered on yours. Obviously if someone buys your frame and V5 then they will need a new engine and will probably register that with the logbook.

When I've broken bikes i've done just this, and sold the frame with the logbook as if I was selling the whole bike.

if you do not tell the dvla you will get a fin from them saying about £30 or more trust me on that i have done it

A fine for what?

And how would they ever know that you've sold the bike in pieces rather than as a whole?

[prawny1]

If the bike is recorded with the dvla as being broken for spares there is nothing stopping you from selling the frame as a spare part, the buyer won't be able to get the reg back but the frame is still fine to use, selling the frame as a spare part rather than a spare i.d. will stop any one using it to ring a stolen bike and remove any chance of the police turning up at your door if they do.

If you change a bikes frame you do not need to keep the registration for that frame, you just send off your bikes v5 with the change of frame number section filled in, sometimes they will ask to inspect the bike sometimes they don't.

If they ask to inspect the bike they will check if there is enough of the origional bike left to be considered "the same bike" it's points based so if you have only changed the frame you won't have to re-register it.
