Green sticker in CA
 

So my 2006 200cc Chongqing (viva) has a green sticker. Am I going to be able to get this plated? It has a sticker that says it's epa certified as an ohv in all 50 states. Does that mean it can never be street legal? If all I need is a CARB sticker, can I just go get an emissions test?

Welcome to the forum. As I understand it few Chinabikes are street legal in the PRK. Q Link being a notable exception.

Thank you! I've been lurking for a while and finally got the courage to make an account. I thought as such. I just don't really want to take off work to go to the DMV just to wait in line then be told it can't be registered.

I might be wrong. 2LZ and other Kalifornians may know better, but I don't think it will get a plate.

Welcome!

Like Doc says, others here will know the answer. We'd love to see pics of your bike. :D

Haha alright. I'll bump with a couple pics. I got both of these for 825$. The red one has an electrical problem though and isn't running yet. Both under 100 miles when I bought them though.

I'm gonna go grab a picture of the emissions label too.

Those are good bikes and the price sure was right. :D

If they can't be street legal in Kalifornia I'd do what 2LZ did and stip off the street harware. Less weight and less to break. He posted a great thread on the topic recently.

Thanks. I'll go take a look.

Good score! Is that a faux toolbox on the left side of the blue bike, disguised as a muffler?

Have you tried troubleshooting the red bike yet?

It is! And yes. I've purchased a new CDI box for 150cc gy engines (hopefully compatible) which will hopefully fix the problem. If not I guess I need to get a new coil. If it still doesn't work I'll probably have to tear down and rebuild the entire bike.

It's usually the CDI. 8)

My vote is to tear down and rebuild the entire bike. Then add a big bore kit. Then a turbo. :lol:

Changed it but apparently it wasn't the problem.

that's probably what I'll end up doing. They make turbos for enduros?

Not exactly, but a little creative plumbing can fix that. :D I laughed when I saw what people on Youtube will stick turbos on. I even saw them on Briggs and Stratton engines.

What is the exact symptom?
