Hi, I'm not sure about emissions but I did read in MCN a while ago that Canadian bikes are wired so that the headlight comes on with the ignition and is therefore on all the time, so you'd have to get it re-wired. I decided to sell my TL1000 as last time I went over, I looked at the prices of bikes and they were so much cheaper it wasn't worth taking it. Did you know you'd have to re-take your bike test as well.
