YSR and titling your YSR's.

well I jacked this comment I made on another thread which dealt with the titling of a YSR.

Here's the original comment I made:
the bill of sale registratable issue is not that hard to acquire.

all you need to do is locate one of the online "title companies" that are out there and have them process the bike for you so you could get a brand new title. So, with the new title AND the bill of sale, you could easily register your YSR in your state.

here's some title companies.
www.broadwaytitle.com
www.its-titles.com

with any of these two companies you can create a brand new title, then simply go to your state's DMV with that new title and register the bike. Oh and these companies are completely 100% legite!
with reference to titling a YSR, what experiences have the rest of you encountered? give specific details on what you did to be able to "title" your YSR in your state. Most states require a title and bill of sale. How were you able to title your bike in your state?

thanks,

Is it a USDM YSR or a JDM YSR?
If it's a US bike then you should be able to get it titled at your local DMV with your bill of sale and by filling out a "lost title" form. It's when you have a JDM or EDM bike that you start to run into more problems. This is just what I've heard as I have no experience registering an non-titled vehicle, but I'll let you know when I get my JDM TZR50 at the end of the year, I'll be trying to title and register it for street use.

What is the diff between a JDM, USDM?

is a JDM the "Japanese department of motor vehicles"? and EDM is the "european department of motor vehicles"? explain, why do you run into problems. any ones had similar experiences please comment.

JDM have shorter VINs. It can be done. You'll have to find some clueless people at DMV.

Try getting a title on a Japanese Grey 400cc 4 stroke bike or a 250cc 2 smoker

Since YSRs are so old and only 50cc, I doubt getting a title would be that hard. If you can get the CHP or DMV to verify the title is clean, you'll just have to do the dirty paper work and get the title.

......you'll just have to do the dirty paper work and get the title........

what do you mean by that? what does it mean ,"dirty paper work"?

explain.

Oh sorry... USDM = US Domestic Market (Made for and sold in the US); JDM = Japanese Domestic Market; EDM = European Domestic Market.

I think he just means that you'll have to fill out some stupid forms, but as long as the title comes up clean then you should be fine.

Yup "Dirty" = filling out tons of DMV forms. Also you'll probably need a brake/light inspection check/certificate and a VIN verification form filled out by police officer in your city. In California, it would be the CHP - California Highway Patrol...er something like that.

how reliable are those two site to get the titles,i,m a little afraid to send money to a site that i have never use .

I've used the Broadway Title company. they did the trick. I got some paperwork back that I took to the DMV and I got my Florida registration and title for my YSR.

I only had a "bill of sale" from the previous owner. and I bought the YSR from ebay from a seller in kentucky so the titling companies do work.

Just keep in mind that you will not be recieiving a certificate of title for your YSR, only paperwork that will allow you to take the paperwork to the DMV and acquire a title from your state.

Another thing that i did was contact Yamaha Motor Corp. I called them so i could acquire my bikes original MSO (manufacturers Statement of Origin). the MSO or MCO as it it reffered to sometimes, is the a piece of paper that looks exactly like a certficate of title but the MSO shows when your bike entered the US. it shows to whom it was originally sold to here inthe US. with that MSO you can also go to the DMV and that will basically be equal to a certificate of title. Best thing about calling Yamaha Corp and asking them to print you up an MSO is that it's totally FREE!!!!! So now whenever I sell my YSR, I not only have the Certificate of Title, but also the MSO from Yamaha Corp.

I've attached an image of what the MCO looks like.
good luck. you can get a title.........just be persistant about it.

grat tha sound farly easy ,now ,i did the same thin i got the bike from a dud on NY that use to race i'm not sure if the engine is the original is that gonna be a huge deal ,thanks a lot is great to ask somebody to have ben there don that ,

Not to sound like a ****, but it doesn't seem like you're old enough to have a drivers license yet.

sorry ,some time my spanglish take control of me,lol

oh by the way i was a teenager when my ysr was produce i hope that answer your question,lol

so, if the YSR was in 1988 let's say and you were say, 13. therefore 13 + (88 to 05 = 17) therefore, 13+17 = 30 years old..........ahh a mere babe in the womb still..............when you hit 41 kiddo, we'll talk.......in the meantime, enjoy your "thirty somethings"...........they wont last long.

lol,yeap allmost there ,now that my kids are old i think is time for some fun ,i remember when young all the rich kids have them know is my time, some guys dreams are old camaros and stang, me i just want that little bike ,allmost done just have to finish that engine ,that's why i,m asking to how to get the title summer is almost here,.thanks a bunch

My apologies. I couldn't speak spanish to save my life... let alone trying to write it.

hey Junny, i hear you... i spent most of my summers in Puerto Rico as a kid. that also where i got my first look at the YSR50. English came a little easier for me sinse i came here pretty young. i will be 30 on Tuesday, so the way it looks i must be the pup of the bunch. no matter i pick things up pretty quick.

true is not easy ,i work all day with anglos and my wife that is half mexican like is like changing a tv station ,is hard as hell ,lol

don't worry, the whole title thing is prety simple.
the first thing you have to do is call your local hiway patrol office or state trooper considering the state you live in.
make a oppointment for a vin verrifacation.
make shure you have all your papers(bill of sale,mso,mco,etc.)
and it helps to know if your bike is not stollen.
now heres what usually happens, they run your numbers in the computer to make shure they even exhist, and if they don't or your vin is to short ie. japan/uro models.
they will place what is called a blue tag. on the frame.
basically the chp. gives you a new vin number.


so dont worry i know some times if you go to dmv first you get a by the book dummy and it turns into a nitemare.

hope this helps put your minds at ease
