This letter came today, from the Washington D.O.T. Feb 2, 2012.

This bike was legalized in Hawaii, imported to WA. My other CRF, legalized in Oregon in 2004, and My XR400, legalized in WA state in 1999, also got "the letter".

It looks like there is an avenue to get the license reinstated, by getting the bike inspected at a WA dealer or repair shop.
Anyone else have experience with this?

RCW 46.61.705 is HERE: http://apps.leg.wa.g...?cite=46.61.705
I will read thru all the other RCWs about the blinkers, mirrors, reflectors and more.

Here is the letter:

That sucks but it seems like an easy fix with an inspection.
The fender length in the RCW might be a pain. I always wondered why dual sports had such an ugly lower fender from the factory.

I really hope nothing comes for my xr... I would be calling day and night before I went to inspection. what a load of crap. cyclops motorsports can inspect your bike I think if you have to. contact Tod

I think they are makeing everyone jump throught the hoops again. I have a friend that just got a letter for his crf450X.

Kommiefornia reaches out and touches everyone!

This sounds like another way to generate more revenue for the state and control/regulate another part of our lives. When will the madness end!!

I have an 2000 XR650R, street legal, havent got a letter or anything. The DMV here is very leanient but i was kinda hoping to plate my crf70 (im a college kid and have good ideas) but id have to go outta state. i bought my bike street legal so its grandfathered in

Hi, I'm from the Government and I'm here to help you.

That letter isn't from DOT

They might have gotten the list of off road bikes from the great state of California. They made a data base for red or green stickered bikes so they all won't die from the massive amounts of smog us dirt bikers are putting out.

The same thing just happened to me with my XR600 here in Wisconsin! I'm so pissed! I got the letter from the DOT stating that they wanted a picture of the "Federal Certification Label" stating that the bike is manufactured for Road Use. I called her and explained that the bike was converted to street legal and she didn't care. She says there are no conversions and if it wasn't manufactured for highway use then it isn't legal and whoever titled it for me in Wisconsin made a mistake. I wasn't given any option for an inspection or anything to keep it legal. So now I'm SOL and I'm looking for a new bike I can ride on the road. What a disapointment. I can't find anything in the price range that's anywhere as cool as my XR. The title was already street legal when I got it and it was also a Wisconsin Title! She told me about their new software that they are using to search over existing VIN #'s to find off road bikes on the road. Good Luck to all of you that are currently titled and I hope this epidemic doesn't spread over the nation... I might call a lawyer to see if the laws here are really preventing this. I just can't believe that poeple are able to run around in Cali with plated CR500's and I get my 4stroke plate pulled. Not that I have any problem with a plated CR500 I do think that is awesome by the way! I wish I could make one fly down the street too... So I've been searching through supermotos but most of them are converted titles also and I don't want to risk having another title cancelled on me.

No it is not evil greedy government, it is stupid government.

We had the same issue for a while in NV which is broke beyond belief. Instead of collecting the license fee and making you buy insurance from a company that also pays lots of taxes, they said give us the plate back and keep all your money.

my dad has an xr600r which is converted. he was actually thinking of getting it out and riding it to work now that gas is so expensive. i guess off road only vehicles are no longer able to be converted???!!!!!!

Cool.
My CRF and XR LICENSE CANCELLATIONS were REVERSED!

Here's the letter I got today.
