Thinking you have to have 7500 miles on it first to bring it into California as a used bike.
The manual says O is USA (All)
So it sounds like yours is 50 state legal and should have this dumb thing.
CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
All new 2014 EBR motorcycles sold in the state of California are equipped with an evaporative emission control system. This system is designed to meet the CARB regulations in effect at the time of manufacture.
Yes, they mentioned that but it doesn't help me.

Brain, Your bike is a 49 state motorcycle with a 3 meaning not legal in Ca, I know its after the fact but when I bought mine I asked if it was ok for CA.
Used with more then 7500 miles on it is the only way to register it in California. Going to have to register it in another state, put 7500 miles on it and then register it in California.
Know anybody who lives in AZ or NV or OR whose address you can use?
Otherwise you’ve got a great garage conversation piece or sell it to get a California legal model.

I just finished saying that it's 49 state bike. So maybe they aren't being A Holes at the DMV and I know what hind site is but didn't know there was such a thing as a 49 state motorcycle until just a few hours ago. I've never purchased a new car or bike in my life.
This wasn't a private sale, it came from a dealership that's sold motorcycles for a long time. I don't know who's ultimately responsible but I'm trying to find a solution instead of focusing on blame right now. Maybe an EVAP and whatever else is required in CA can be retrofitted if parts are still available but I need to find someone involved in the building of these bikes to know for sure.
Forum members, please don't take anything personally. I had a long day yesterday and a sleepless night and I'm just incredibly frustrated by my dream slowly evolving into a nightmare.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a cousin in TX but shipping a bike out and racking up that many mile would be a huge inconvenience for me. Much more than locating a CA legal bike but if I have to sell it, that's going to leave a bitter taste in my mouth and don't know if I'll have the stomach to look for another one. So far it's been one problem after another.
Sorry you have learned the hard way , as I did a few years back with a similar buy with a 49 state Aprilia bike. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr29/!ut/p/a1/nZFNT4NAEIZ_iweOZIZvOG60loK1JjUt7IUsC1swslC6JcZf71 ITPTXGzumdwzyZeQYoZEAlm9oDU20v2fvcU79IVw8LK15iuvSe CJI0jje7xc5eRg7sgQLlUg2qgbzqpoL3UtVSFbU0UPcGDufyZG A59rw5j7WOgp1UIRhXcxbTaEczY-BtBbnl1p7j2sJE7qHpurVrMs64GVWVYIHv8ICXkENOgyJaYWiF W0w32-cACUliK3FfMHq0YHsT8NqVnv9vYPKXtgxye1zfrw8ay1RjtlL0 kM2qIPtRBdmvKp2_VenJ9u14pERrn1V_KMhu9n75nt4UrxRBGL oudLxh-nwV3Z6EKlqRuy8mV9Hd/
