h2focus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I moved to Cali recently and spending my 2nd visit at the DMV right now. We are looking for the Emissions Label or sticker telling me/them that my bike is legal to operate under Ca emissions laws. I cannot find this dang thing! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Premium Member DavidS Posted June 26, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted June 26, 2017 Not sure if you need it to be fixed. See this website from the state of California https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr29 Towards the bottom, it says: Does This Apply to Someone Moving to California? If you are moving to California from another state, you may register a new 49-state vehicle if it was first registered by you in your home state, or for military personnel, in the last state of your military service. When applying for vehicle registration in California, you must provide evidence that the vehicle was registered. So, if you first registered your bike in your previous state, you should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2focus Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thank you David! I'm not sure that the two people that tried to help me knew 100% what they were doing. They sent me to the CHP for my EPA label haha. They sent me away again obviously. Anyways, it may have come off the swingarm location where I would think it would be located. I see a blank space there. I'm going to reach out to Yamaha or a dealership and see if it can be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The emissions label is under the rear subframe just below the cut out... ?... I dunno if you can buy a new "emissions" sticker from Yamaha...at my work the "emissions" labels are highly controlled documents and if someone asked to buy replacement(s) we cannot as we cannot assume the emissions are still legit or if the emissions system was modified... They actually have to send the product back to us for to get a new emissions sticker... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2focus Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks Norcal, That does make sense and I 'did' check the labels location on the swingarm and it is gone! Bye-bye, not there, which puts me in a real pickle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partypat Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You might just try going to another DMV location. The smaller town the better normally for this type of stuff. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyivan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 A long time ago (well over 15 years) in I did some work for a vehicle leasing company in their title and license department. (Business leases, not consumer). I recall, there were some strange rules with regards to state transfers into the state of California. One such 'rule' was not to transfer a vehicle into California that has less than a few thousand miles on the odometer. (I forgot the exact figure). Literally they told lessees to drive the vehicle around for a few thousand miles before doing the state transfer. I'm not sure if this was a law, regulation, or a business rule. But it was explained to me that the California DMV makes it difficult if not impossible to transfer 'new' vehicles into California. I recall the word 'blacklisting' was in the context of this, that is CA DMV would blacklist vehicles being transferred in with low miles, preventing any future transfer attempt. I'm also not sure this would apply to motorcycles. Hopefully that doesn't scare you too much. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2focus Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks to norcal616, I will check on the bike momentarily. I went as far as going to a dealer in Hayward and looked at their bikes, none of them had labels or stickers on the bike as far as we could find. YES!! That's exactly what I'm after, or rather the DMV !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
