    Whelp, I'm still struggling with gettin' this title transferred over... Perhaps one of y'all can help me out.

    The DMV has lost all record of this bike, so I've got to create a whole new file. This requires 2 x VINs, engine number, and 'emission sticker'. The main VIN stamped on the headtube is easily readable, but the sticker on the left side is pretty hard to make out. Engine # seems to be revealing itself underneath the rust.

    The emission sticker has me stumped however. I can't seem to find one, unless its the verbiage stamped onto the muffler itself? I'm starting the process of setting up an appointment with the CHP, but apparently they're 3 weeks behind currently.

    I read somewhere that emission stickers didn't show up until '86?

      Just apply for an abandoned title. The DMV wont tell you to do this because you kind of have to lie and maybe sign an affidavit. (LOL?) I in VA and maybe that only works here? It is pretty quick too. Tell them it has been abandoned on your property for over a year and you want an abandoned title.

        The emissions sticker is typically under the seat somewhere.

          I'm not seeing anything under the seat, or on the frame below the seat unfortunately... Do you have a picture of an emission sticker for this era? Can't seem to find anything on an image search.


          Also, I got your carb o-ring kit today. Thanks!

              I think I gave you an inner fender like that. It may have a sticker

                Ah! You're right! I looked at it originally, but didn't double-check the inner fender. Sounds like now I've almost got everything needed to get this thing titled.

                Now I just need to hope that my VIN Sticker on the headtube is legible enough to count. The last 5 or so digits are stamped onto the sticker, so I'd think that'd be close enough!

                  Make sure there is a sticker showing the VIN somewhere else as well when you take it. If it's hard to read people have been known to print a second sticker out themselves and apply them under the seat on the frame somewhere.... It's just a Suzuki logo & a Vin number. (In theory a Suzuki dealer should be able to give you a "re-print" according to DMV. Yeah right...!
