Ducati Monster Forum

I am selling my monster (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=58203.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=58203.0) and a friend in CA is interested. The bike had its emission system stripped by BCM as soon as I got it; I assume I/he needs to restore the emissions system, so I'm curious if anyone has one kicking around. I also have SIL high pipes and I'm not certain of the noise/epa crap for aftermarket pipes out there. Any one care to educate me on the situation?

how many miles does it have?

Definition of a nonresident vehicle

A nonresident vehicle was last registered outside the state of California. Anyone who brings a vehicle into California, or purchases a nonresident vehicle while in California, should be aware of the registration requirements.

NOTE:California law prohibits California residents or businesses from importing and/or registering a new vehicle with less than 7,500 miles at the time of purchase unless it meets or is exempt from California emission standards. If you acquire a 49-State vehicle (manufactured for all states except California) from another state or country, you may not be able to register your vehicle in California.

8k on the clock, so that means it is exempt?

There is no smog certification for motorcycles at present in CA.  As long as the bike has more than 7,500 miles on it there should be no problem.

Registered an out of state 2000 M750 in San Diego.  The DMV was pretty meticulous about the numbers on the paperwork matching the bike (no brainer) but they also wanted
To read the emissions info on the bike (on mine its a big sticker between the seat latch and the fuse block under the seat). Frame #, engine #, emissions sticker in addition to the plethora of items listed below.  Oh, and lots-a-money

Beautiful, thank you for your help. Yeah everything is there and matching other than the emissions canister.  Regarding the cans, should I just check there are epa stamps on the interior, or is that also somehow overlooked as well?

Im my case i dont believe the DMV people would have know if the emissions equipment itself was on the bike or not.  They were just looking for the emissions sticker.  FWIW my M750 did not have the canisters installed when it went to the DMV either.  No issues

As far as I know, this is correct.  MY NJ registered Yamaha R6 only had 5K miles and I got it registered here in CA under a new owner when I sold it.  I would like to point out that he registered it at the local AAA office.  If you are a AAA member, you can do simple things at their office vs. the DMV.  You can avoid the long lines and they usually don't give you a problem if the bike is under 7500 miles.

When I was there, the lady even mentioned, "Oh, it's a motorcycle so having less than 7500 miles isn't a big deal."  Whether or not this is true, who knows, but it worked. 

No emissions for bikes, but they did document the frame/engine numbers pretty thoroughly.
