im happy, if i would have gotten a red, my friend has a pink to a 1990 that he sold all the parts to so i coulda used that and hoped i didnt get caught doing anything stupid.
later

smurfsdad · 06-30-2001, 06:24 AM

enjoy it while you can because they will probably ask for it back when they figure it out. that has happened to a couple of my freinds

Chazzworth · 06-30-2001, 12:12 PM

I do not understand I have had green stickers with all my bikes what are red ones? Could someone please explain?

Brad · 06-30-2001, 05:37 PM

well first off they arent getting it back <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">
well the red sticker is supposed to be given to any bikes made after '96. it means you can only ride during certain parts of the year, your local ohv has a list of riding seasons for red stickers

smurfsdad · 06-30-2001, 07:25 PM

chazzy it has to do with air quality there are only a few bikes that are epa legal for a green sticker. the rest get red ones. during certain times of the year you cannot ride a red sticky bike at the parks or in the forest. the green sticky bikes can go year round. 96 and earlier are grandfathered in so they get green

J-Dogg · 06-30-2001, 09:52 PM

I believe this is a 2 stroke, 4 stroke thing. My sons JR 50 has a red sticker but they always let him ride at Prarie City.

its because 2000, and 2001 are serving as warning years

Kyron · 06-30-2001, 11:45 PM

This sure is a complicated issue... It's NOT a 2 vs. 4-stroke thing!! it's a EPA thing <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> if the bike is "smog" legal it gets a green sticker, if it's not "smog" legal it gets a red.

I've tried reading through all the crap and what it boils down too is if a bike is non-EPA legal, the VIN number IS different. that all was suppose to start with the 97 model years... but they really started paying attention in 99/2000. AND it was only going to affect riding during the "save the air days"??? but that part hasnt been in writing for awhile....

I work with a guy who got a green sticker and license plate for his Suzuki DRZ400!! Then the DMV revoked it and sent him a red sticker!!!

I have a 2001 PW50 for my kids and I got a red sticker for it, I sent it back and asked for a refund (Ya right) and sent my $$ to Oregon to get one of their off road permit's <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I do beleive they will catch their mistake and ask/demand for it back..... my advice <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> get it street legal through the state of Vermont <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> you can do it all through the mail LOL or get a Oregon off road permit

thats why I'm keepin my st legal 95 CR500

FoxxMotoGirl · 07-01-2001, 01:07 PM

You know, I just got the Green sticker for my 97 CR 250 also, but them my friend has a 96 CR500, and he had to get a red sticker. Why are only some of us getting greens? Anyone know what is going on with that?

Brad · 07-01-2001, 01:50 PM

i read something on hollisters site about if the 8th digit in the vin number is a C or 3 that its not compliant with something, it was confusing to me

marie, did you buy your bike new? if so your probly got a green cuz it was early in the new model year. did your friend buy the 500 from someone? if so theres no gaurantee that the green will transfer over to the new owners. plus the higher displacment bikes are more prone to getting them ive found. im just happy i got a green. and ive never heard of anyone getting it taken back,atleast around here. plus if it does, i always got the pink to the 1990 bike

Its 1997 and down not 1996 and down for the green sticker.

noonan · 07-02-2001, 06:03 AM

wow this must be a kommie california thing cause i have NO idea what you guys are talking about. The downfall of the free world seems to start in cali, i sure hope this sticker thing doesn't spread like that states silly gun laws and other infringements.

Was he able to keep the plate\street legal registration?

I am thinking of getting a DRZ400e to commute to work on. Would be very nice.
There are a few OHV parks around here.

It would just suck if I got this bike then later had the street plates pulled

Maybe next year the DRZ will have the smog crap.

Kyron · 07-02-2001, 11:42 PM

NO... he had to give back the plate and the green sticker.. I swear to god, this is so FUCKED up!!! the only "good" part is that he did'nt spend the $$ on the kit, there is another guy here at work who has his lighting critifect so he signed it off....

I'm serious about going through Vermont though <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I just found out about doing it that way yesterday. I might even have a friend register mine out of state at first when I get one.

77bronc · 07-03-2001, 01:44 PM

hmm...never heard about the vermont thing...can you fill in the details...got a yz426 that needs a plate!

Kyron · 07-03-2001, 04:37 PM

I have heard all this Vermont stuff second hand... so I dont really want to spread any shit around... BUT.. on the last dual sport my friends went on there were WAY too many bikes from Vermont for it to be just a rummor.... Try calling the tec line at Baja Degsigns, there great on the phone and your going to need a sourse of power anyhow.... and a light or two <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

77bronc · 07-05-2001, 04:32 PM
