What kind of dirt bike is it.
Year, make model.
You beter make sure it is a "California legal" bike.
Google "California off road red sticker green sticker motorcycle".
A dirt bike MUST have a title and registration in order to operate it on public land.
Google "off road motorcycle registration California".
At the State ORV areas that rangers will check to make sure your bike has either a green or red registration sticker and a spark arrestor. You can get a "real" ticket (points against your record and loss of money) for operating a dirt bike without registration.
Be aware that on MOST National and state property you can not operate a non-street legal "dirt bike" (meaning you must have a real liscense plate, turn signals, horn, headlights, DOT compliant brake systems and DOT compliant tires) "off road".
Too bad you were not around the San Diego area 10-30 years ago.
Otay Mesa used to be some of the best riding areas in Southern California.
I think that the closest legal true "dirt bike" riding area in San Diego is Orosco Ridge in Ramona. And you can go shooting up there too.
If you like sand you can go to Glamis.
Quoted: I have wanted a desert toy for a while, just something to ride around and explore with in the desert/dirt.
Today I saw a kid selling a SUZUKI dirt bike for 600bucks. If I offered him 500 cash he would take it, i am tempted because the seller is near my house,the bike looks fun and is cheap.
But I dont know jack about bikes in general. I know about engines and like working on them but dont have any experience with riding. One thing that I thought was weird was it had a radiator, i just figured it would be air cooled?
so how are suzukis? Can you go wrong if it runs ok and costs 500? anything to look for.
