is a yz titled like a car? if so, hit up Yella, he is rapidly becoming the title pro!

is a yz titled like a car?

It shouldn't be. A good bill of sale should be quite adequate. Should you decide to make it street legal, I believe you would need to take the bill of sale to the DMV and go from there, along with having an inspection on the bike, to make sure it has working lights and all that is required. I'm no expert tho, this is just what I remember from my fathers dirt bike dealings. It's been several years since i've been in the dirt bike scene.

hahaha well no, most dirtbikes dont have a title, but a "pink slip" kind of like the temp registration you get from a dealer, but thats it...
but it does have a vin, so i imagone some sort of 'title' is available?

 

[hurley842002]

I don't think there is really anything required by law, for transfer of ownership on a dirt bike. We just always printed out a BOS as a CYA. But again, i'm no expert, hopefully someone that knows will chime in, now i'm interested in knowing.

Ive been riding dirt bikes for 30 years, bought and sold MANY bikes and have never got a title for one even my brand new one from Vickery Motorsports, as far as riding one on the road these days takes a small miracle to license one especally a 2 stroke.

dont plan on riding around town, just around the mountains or on the road to trails

I got my CRF250 road legal a couple years ago, but I had a title and this was in the state of VA. I took my bike to a sketchy inspector and got the safety inspection, then took that, proof of insurance and title and got plates for it.

I dont' know what the process would be here in CO, but I imagine emissions and safety would need to be done and as long as you could get past those I'm sure you could get it registered.

Check out supermotojunkie.com forums - plenty of guys on there who explain how to street legalize your bike - you need a rewound stator for more power output (unfortunately results in pulsing lights with engine rpms) and a light kit - baja designs has a pretty badass kit that has a horn, blinkers, bar controls, small battery and resistor setup, and full wiring which I had on my CRF but it was rather pricey - worked well though

my setup:

i would run the acerbis light they make for streetbikes, they wire them for batteries if you want (like a 9v or a few AA batteries) then i would just have to figure out a rear/brake light and turn signal setup.
here in the springs the only things required for emissions is diesels...so thats not a prob, insurance is cake, its just how to do the title thing...

The only experience I have is regestering them for the trails, you can get this done @ rockymountaincycle. They check the vin to make sure it hasn't been reported stolen and this is as close to "becoming registered as I have seen"

Your problem is aquiring a title for a 2stroke bike. 2 strokes aren't allowed in the states for the roads, Sorry Im not much help. Call the dmv fooEL/

 

[xj-grin]

If its not titled, it isn't to be titled? :dunno: I would think if its not for street use, its no different than a chainsaw. head to the hills and run it (not that I endorse you 2-stroke folk, I find the whine incredibly annoying -- but then I'm old, "fatherly", and cranky).

 

[in4aride]

I'm more partial to 4stroke bikes. But in the little bit of dirt bike riding I've done, 2strokes are more similar to the stunt bikes I'm used to. So it will be a good ween into dirt bikes.

This is of course assuming I get it.

Should not be a problem. I bought a XR400 and then got Colorado OHV registration. I don't think they even needed to see the bill of sale. My next step is to title it.

From another forum:
You need form DR2686 "Certificate of Equipment Compliance".

This form states you need:

A completed DR2087 "Verification of VIN",

and one of the following:

"Manufactureres Statement of origin (MSO),
Bill of Sale (stating sold as off road)
Dealers invoice"


That's it, then you sign DR2686 and you get your title.

From another site:
Dirt Bike Registration

Dirt bikes (or off-road bikes), on the other hand, are not considered motor vehicles by the state, but still need to be registered with Colorado Parks and Recreation. You can download and print the registration application, complete it, and mail it with the appropriate fee ($25.25) to:

* Colorado State Parks

* Registration Unit

* 13787 South Highway 85

* Littleton, CO 80125

You can also fill out an application in person at this address. It takes about two to four weeks to receive the Colorado Registration Certificate.
Making it Legal

Now for the tricky part: You can transform a dirt bike into a road-legal motorcycle recognized by the state of Colorado as a motor vehicle. With a bit of tinkering and upgrading (generally new tires, a horn, a new muffler, and proper lighting) the bike can be titled and put into the periodic registration process as a regular motor vehicle.

Of course, you will need to fill out a couple of forms. First is the Certificate of Equipment Compliance, which lists all the equipment needed for the dirt bike to become street legal. The second required form is the Verification of Vehicle Identification Number.

Along with these two forms, you will need proof of ownership for titling, which can entail a manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO), bill of sale, or dealer invoice.

Mike just have the seller get the paperwork if he wants to sell it . Used to cost me right at 600 bucks to make a dirt bike street legal baja design kit is 400 tires 150 exaust 75 so plan on that and i used a remote control car battery

 

[hurley842002]

Well, it sounds like my dad is finally going to sell me his XR250, so i'll be looking to make it street legal as well. If you get the bike, we will have to hit some trails next summer Mike :thumbup:
