California EPA regs (Read 0 times)

w6k Ex Member	California EPA regs 09/12/06 at 20:19:53 I am thinking about buying a used LS650 from a party in Oregon. Question-- assumming the title is clean, will this bike meet Calif EPA standards and should I expect any problems when I go to register it here in Calif? suppose there are carb mods. (commen) Will the DMV check that? With all the new laws and BS I can't keep up.

I don't know about motorcycle but when I brought my car from Nebraska to CA, I still need to smog check the car before I can register it. But with my 05 Savage which I bought in CA did not require a smog check for the annual registration. Check out this web page for further Info.

I went through this last year. If the bike has 15K, it's considered used and you don't have to worry about the smog. If less than 15K, it needs to have a CA certified smog emissions label on the frame. It's usually on the right side of the down drop tube of your frame. Turn your front wheel to the right and look in front of your tank for a metal label. It must have CA approval on it. Over 15K, not a problem.

Email me of you need some assistance. I have a good friend who's a manager at the DMV.

Most bikes advertised have had the carb altered so theywill run better. If the inspector checks for the plastic plug in the carb adjustment that could be a problem. I need to do a little more home work before buying anything out of state.
