Ummm ok you live in OHIO, so do I.
Getting a title for a bike in ohio is like ******* mission impossible with the retards here. We tryed for over a month to get one for my dads timberwolf. Omfg they traced the title back to a company that went out of business. So we never got it, 2 months after we started and we gave up.
Well heres the onlything that i know of that will work. You go to a salvage yard or find someone that has a frame with a title. You buy the title off the person, write down the vin on there frame. Then grind it off theres, and stamp that vin onto your frame, after you grind the present number off. Then go to the dmv and get the title transferd into your name. Its really hard to find someone with a frame with a good vin and title that there not useing but its worth it in the end.
Thats the only way i know of on how to get a title in ohio, unless you get a merical and they get you a title some how.
You can always try just going to a yamaha dealship getting a paper filled out to make sure the bike is good then go to the dmv and take some proof of owner ship by a bill of sale or somthing them they will trace the number to make sure its not stolen or anything. Then you might get a title or they will track it all the way back to ther title holder and you have to get the title transferd to your name from them. Thats what we did and it didnt work it took them 2 months to find out we count get a title. ******* dmv dicks.
