derestricting??? how do you go about doing this, plus do you have to inform the insurance company??? is it legal???

Any help greatly appreciated..

different bikes are restricted in differnet ways.

you have to inform an insurance company technically

and it is legal if you are 17 riding a 50cc or you have you A2 lisence and are riding a 125 or you have finished the 2 year wait period of your A2 and are removing the restrictors.

jb, what are you wanting to destrict?

If its a 125 2 stroke, yes you can drestrict it. Is it legal: no, inform the insurance: yes-and youre not insured, no-and the insurance find out-and youre not insured.

If its a 124 4 stroke-nope, not at all. It will be producing maximum power as is.

If you are talking about the 33bhp after passing your test. Yes you can, but the same applies here as does for the 125 2stroke.

i am new to biking, am 19 so going for the full a2 license(but ill be restricted).

The bikes im looking at are the aprillia rs125 and cagiva mito 125, can't choose!!!! dammit

they are restricted right? so when i get my license A2(it will be on one of these bikes) do i have to inform the insurance company??? or can i just go ahead and derestrict it to get more hp to about 30hp still in the limit of the license.

any help appreciated... its quite confusing when your just starting off!!!

If you are going a2, forget the 125's get a 400+ bike and reap the rewards.

You're not limited to 125cc. You are limited to 33bhp. You could ride a hayabusa if you wanted to, so long as it was 33bhp. Personally I have a restricted 600 bandit.

An RS125 is restricted yes, derestricted it'll make 33bhp. That's OK to do once you pass.

If you're going to want something to learn on, get a 125. If you're going to do your test soon, get it done and get a restricted 400 or whatever. You'll only get bored with revving the nuts off the 2t 125.

Or, get a CG125, ride that around a bit, pass your test, sell the CG on for what you paid for it then get a restricted 400.

The risk is up to you, search the threads for good and bad points of breaking your restriction, if you do decide to stick you might aswell do it properly.
Would be nice to know as a percentage how many people abide fully to 33bhp.

thanks for the info guys!!!

i just checked out the DSA website, they only care that its is 33hp or less and a power to weight ratio of 0.16kw/kg

but if you get a bigger engined bike and restrict it wouldnt it struggle.

plus if i need to use it all year round, i do about 30miles a day a 125 wouldnt last rite? bigger bike are longer lasting???

Much longer lasting. A big engined 4 stroke can go for an easy 50,000 miles at least with nothing more than regular oil and filter changes and the occasional valve clearance check & adjust. It's more suited to day to day riding and any long distance motorway/dual carrigeway riding.

thanks for that,

whats the best 250, 400?? lol Very Happy

2300 CC ala Rocket III Razz

In short, there is no best. Consider your usage of bike and choose from there. Thumbs Up
