I believe the label you are looking for is part# 713733. It doesn't show whether it is still available, but it is worth a shot. I've restored a couple of bikes and between bikebandit.com and the Honda dealer, I've been able to find most anything I need.

Thanks! I had asked bike bandit last week about those labels and they said it was part #714937. I will find out in a few days when I get it lol...

ok, so it's NOT it! It was a chain replacement sticker!!! I called up bike bandit and he searched and searched and said that because it's not a CA bike, I need to get it smogged and get a sticker from the smog place. DOUBT IT! CA is not set up for smogging bikes that I am aware of, otherwise the DMV would've told me so instead of telling me to call Honda for a damn sticker! If I could get it smogged, I would do that right now because this sticker is more hassle. I specifically asked the DMV if it mattered that this was an Illinois bike and she said, no it doesn't because it's a federal requirement to pass emissions and get this sticker on before it leaves the factory.

well, I got 320 miles left to reach the magic 7,500 miles. Hope I don't really need this damn sticker.

bikerchick,
did you by chance look under the tank? Looking at this diagram........

Look at label #2, I know it says High Altitude but with what looks like a Honda emblem on the right side of it, it looks like the emblem that is on the side cover of my '97. Maybe they moved it??

Bikerchick,
I looked in the shop manual which states the following:
"After '99: An Emission Control Information Label is located on the frame. The fuel tank must be removed to read it."

I bought a bike in Utah with 6100 miles on it, by the time I got it to the DMV here in Sacramento,CA it had 7900 miles. No Emission Label, all they did was check to make sure it was not stolen and gave me my registration. That 7500 miles is the magic number.

Get a temp and take it for a ride to get to 7500.

The solution sounds so simple.

Cal DMV is a wonderful state agency. One of the more messed up in a state of messed up in a state of messed up state agencys. Stick with it. It will get sorted out someday. Good luck.

Bikerchick - just wait until it has more than 7500, and it will get passed without any need to look at stickers...

I had bought a 2003 Kawasaki from Washington, and it had 2000 miles on it. I looked on Craigslist for someone with a Ninja that had over 10K miles on it, and asked to rent their speedo from them for a day for $40. Took the bike to DMV, they looked at it, checked the mileage and sent me on my way.

Went home, put the original speedo back on and returned the one I rented.


If you were any closer to me, I'd be happy to lend you my speedo, which has 50K on it! They wont even blink!
