ORV Sticker Help

[CP]

There is a on road plate and an off-road plate there isn’t stickers anymore

This is not the case for dirt bikes 

What do dirt bikes need?

My son just bought a new one and for just off road you need the license plate sticker and current year tab. Only need the metal plate if it’s a dual sport. Then if you want to ride on trails too you have to have both. Almost Costs more to dual license my 1984 Honda 200 than it does to license my 2016 f250

I didn’t know that.  I thought if it had a street plate you can ride anywhere.  Which trails need an ORV plate?

Maybe I’m better off remaining ignorant.

I was told once on a single track trail in central WA  it had to have orv tags also. But I’ve never had anyone look twice since when they see the metal plate on the back so if I were you I would play the ignorant card As it really seems like it’s to each individual’s discretion. Grey area they could get you on may be if actual signs are up saying only orv travel and you have a bike that is only street legal licensed. Can’t really think of ever seeing a sign that actually stated that though. Hopefully someone who is more educated on the actual laws than me can speak up if they know otherwise.

I just bought a new quad.  They asked if I wanted to register for ORV and I said yes.  I received a green license plate and an ORV tag for the plate.

So, it turns out you do need a title on your 2 wheeled lawnmowers, another $40something to the bill. 

DNR land requires ORV sticker, not sure where else.  I also needed them to get the ORV sticker in MT otherwise I would probably not do it here.  Somebody gets their pound of flesh.

Is that all DNR land or only ORV areas like Reiter Foothills and Walker Valley? 

The requirements on the Dept of Licensing website are very unclear.

Your guess is as good as mine.  The designated ORV parks for sure, unclear on plain old DNR land and not sure what other places would require it. 

From what I gather, only DNR land requires a street plated bike to have something in addition to the road license plate.  It sounds like that may either be a Discover Pass or the ORV sticker/plate.  That's pretty confusing if true.

At least you don't have to worry about a spark arrestor, that is an even worse nightmare.

The other thing I noticed was that if your motorcycle is street legal you need a Discover Pass for the motorcycle and a second Discover Pass for the truck you brought it up there with (assuming you didn't ride up there).  So, for a street legal bike you brought up in a truck you would need a metal plate, orv sticker and 2 Discovery Passes on DNR land?!  Offroad only would only need an ORV sticker but then might not be legal on all the DNR roads?

Sure would be nice if there were a published set of rules, DNR's website gives some clues but not all the info to be legal.  I'll probably try giving them a ring or e-mail to see what other paperwork I need.
