I'm still not quite understanding what agreen sticker gets you.If your bike has a green sticker.Can you ride year round in any fed or state forest that allows dirtbikes?If your bike is street legal and has a green stikcer does that get you into more areas or into areas closed to green stickers part of the year?Am I just totally not getting this?    |

A green sticker is given for a bike that is certified for emissions and noise. It can be ridden year round. A red sticker is given to a noncomplying motorcycle. Depending on the riding area, riding is restricted during parts of the year. A few riding areas have no restriction.
A street legal bike can be ridden all year and in areas that are designated for street legal use only. |

| They give the green sticker based on the model that meets the epa standards. The XR is one of those models. You can do what you want to it after you buy it. I don't see them doing inspections on the bike other than noise and spark arrestor. |

To add to the above, only a green sticker bike can be made street legal.  |

No I do not believe there is any legal basis for a lawsuit. I'm sure its written somewhere that a condition of use of the land is that you cannot sue the state for anything arising from the use of said land.
haveablast is right on, green/red sticker is based on model. My bike is so old that I am not even included in the new noise regs in CA. But then again neither are 1997 and earlier CR's, YZ's, RM's, and KX's(correct me if I'm wrong, but all those are considered competition bikes, not off road bikes) and the new reg cuts off at Jan 1, 1998 for competition bikes.
btw...sizzler, red sticker bikes can be made street legal, theres tricks to get around it. |

The cut off for green sticker is 97' or 98'(not sure) for any dirtbike that does not meet EPA standards. You can not green sticker a WR or DRZ400(not sure about the rest of the DRZ line up), those are "offroad" bikes. If the factories would get a YZ, CR, RM, KX, to meet EPA standards you would be able to green sticker those as well, but.... that aint gonna happen though That is why there is such a push on 4-strokes. Saddly the factories are losing the battle on two strokes The 4-stroke is the way of the future, for public riding anyway. |

I had actually stated that in my original message and then erased it. I have seen a WR made street legal but I don't know how they did it. Technically it's not supposed to be done. I'm curious how they did it. What are the tricks?

I know several people that have licensed XR's and of one guy who has done it with his CRF.
Some people register their bikes in Vermont. Yes, I live in Ca. Vt allows out of state motorcycle registration without an inspection. The guy with the CRF bought the motorcycle outright with just a title, no registration. Then he kitted it, got it inspected, and got his plate from the DMV. His wife said it was a piece of cake. I think it depends on the DMV too. |

The trick to registering red sticker as street legal for CA is register it out of state, and then bring to CA and it will register as street legal since it is already street legal.
My buddy just purchased a WR400 that was street legal in Oregon and he registered it street legal here, that way no Red sticker violations at the parks during the heat of the season.
You can ride everywhere outside of these riding parks with a rewd sticker and no worries. It is only a problem at some of the designated areas between May and Nov. |

| I too thought the year was 97 for a green sticker, but a guy with the forest service was telling me it has to do with the vin number. Something about the eight digit being this or that designates whats green or red sickered. What I don't get is when you look in the cycle trader there are all kinds of new bikes that have green stickers including DRZ'S. Do these guys have connections at the DMV or do they fudge on there paperwork or what? |

| Some is connections, but I think the people that work at the DMV don't pay attention. My uncle said half of his friends have gotten green stickers for their 00+ Banshee's, but he happened to get a red sticker. It probably depends on the area the DMV is in. Less populated areas where more people are riders probably will fudge more often than big cities where the DMV workers are less likely to know anything about motorcycles. Just a theory. |
