| Howdy,
I'm wondering what constitutes a "dual sport" bike in the eyes of Oregon law.
I'm totally new to all this. I'm thinking of getting a used TTR250 for use as a trail bike (I'm 6'0'', 190 lbs). I want to maximize the number of places I can ride legally, hence my question about dual sport. What kind of mods would I need to make a TTR250 "dual sport" in Oregon?
Thanks,
-Oncorhynchus | |

| Welcome HI
Not sure about Oregon but here in Washington I believe It's
License plate turn signals Headlight Horn Mirrors
Basically you end up taking it to a place that does these things and then gets you licensed for a fee. Hopefully someone from OR will set us straight. | |

| Turn signals lights are not required in Washington. Hand signals are ok.... | |

| Your comments here have been helpful. I ended up buying a 2002 TTR250, but one that was ALREADY PLATED. I have not figured out what it takes to get a dirtbike like the TTR250 through the Oregon DMV inspections.
Though my bike was classed as a "MC" (motorcycle; ie. street legal) on the title and came with an expired plate, the bike did not have turn signals, etc. It's a stock TTR but with this open door to making it street legal. So I go to the DMV to transfer the title and the clerk asked me if I want to renew the registration for the plate, which I had in my hand. I declined registration because it cost around $110 and I don't even have a motorcycle endorsement on my license and really don't want to ride on the roads until I get oriented (as stated in the original post, I'm a total newbie). However, I'm inclined to get the street-legal mods eventually if only for resale value or to connect myself from one patch of dirt to another.
I could spend a lot on a kit, but I really don't need much more. For example, the stock rear light could be converted to a street-legal brake light if it just flashes when I use the brake: https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/816.100. Finally, my question: What kind of fuse would I need to install so that my stock rear light flashes when I hit the brake?
