Street legal?

(1/2) > >>

Marco810:
I'm thinking about buying a wr250 with papers and putting a k5 engine in it. Would the engine swap make it illegal?. I live in BC and have searched but couldnt find anything related

On a side note has anyone here ever riden a AF wr250, how do they handle?

sandblaster:
What I always tell people who want to do this is go down to your local Department of Motor Vehicles and ask them.
Be sure to get their name and any documentation they can provide you.
If your Department of Motor Vehicles does not do the inspection then go to whatever agency does the inspection and ask them.
That is the safe way.
Then again if the bike is already street legal you could just go for it and see what happens  :lol:
I'll bet that if you set the bike up correctly it would handle great.

I always ask for forgiveness rather than permission :evil:

Yeah, I always find that when I learn something after I think I know it all, then it really counts  :wink:

Danger4u2:
If there is no emissions test I would say go for it, for sure if it's all ready tagged. 
In Oklahoma we don't have vehicle inspections.
When you convert a dirt bike to a street legal bike all they inspect is the odometer reading.
If you don't fully look street legal you will get stopped by law enforcement and ticketed.
Here they would not know if it was the original engine.  Engine number is not listed on the title.
