What a bunch of tossers.

01753 590510 - motorcycle support number

Me: Hi, looking for some info on my bike. Its an NSR125, and I would like some information on how to derestrict it. Problem is, its a French import - I would call them but I dont speak french.

Woman: Ok no problem i'll see if I can find out for you.

<gay hold music>

Woman: I have just found out that these cannot be derestricted.

Me: What, just the French ones or all NSR125's??

Woman: All. They cannot be de-restricted, they are designed like that.

Me: Well can you ask somebody else please, as I know for definate the UK, german and Italian ones can be de-restricted... I have spoken to at least 10-15 people who have them fully de-restricted. The UK ones have a ring in the exhaust and a plate on the intake manifold.

Woman: Sorry sir but these bikes cannot be de-restricted.

Me: They can, even my local honda dealer (coburn and hughes) told me they can, they were just unsure of how the French ones are restricted....

Woman: They may have got their wires crossed and been thinking of another bike.

Me: The mechanic was stood infront of my bike at the time having a quick look for restrictors - he knew his stuff, he even told me of the UK ones he had de-restricted before.

Woman: I'm sorry sir we are unable to help you.

<end of conversation>

This is ridiculous!!!11

Have you tried looking recently for a late UK model in decent condition Confused
They've all been shagged harder than a flock welsh sheep. In total I think I went to look at about 9 NSR's.... the import was the only one which had a service history, tread on the tyres, no scuffs and botched fairings etc Sad

£2500, but for that I got the bike (can't remember how much it was on its own?) 2 years parts & labour warranty, 2 years breakdown cover with puncture & fuel cover, and a meta 357 alarm system. Maybe I did pay a little over the odds, but the way I saw it was that at least I know it hadn't been ragged by some little soon-to-be nova driver - the bike had been looked after properly.

Cause C90's look like something that jesus used to ride back in 100A.D or something Very Happy

I wanted to get a bigger bike straight away, but having 9 points on my license and living in a high risk area, insurance on a big bike takes the piss.
My plan is to keep the NSR for 1 year from the day I bought it, by then my 9 points come off (they're invalid after 3 years but stay on license for 4) and I can trade the NSR back in and pay the extra for a GSXR600.

A New CDI might not change or help anything,
I have a mate staying wih me at the moment who is french who could translate that site for you if you like?

I'll have to ask him nicely though. And i can't garantee that it will help you de restrict the bike.

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Tell him if he will, I will love him long time Very Happy lol

Seriously tho, I would be very grateful If he would have a really quick look through THIS forum and see if he could decypher anything about de-restricting (debridage I think is the french word), especially THIS thread, where some guy seems to be talking about the fact that honda de-restricted for him, and how they done it?

I dont know what, but he or you need a favour in return just let me know!

Thanks alot!!

Right here goes

You need to cut the exhaust in half and there will be a ring welded inside , which needs to be grinded out and the exhaust welded back together.

It also says something about changing the valve for racing ones in the cylinder, which must mean check the reed block for restrictions and replace the reeds with racing carbon fibre ones or something.

There is something about a bridge in the electrical unit, which must be the CDI

You also need to change your sprockets for ones that have more teeth.

Also , undo the top of the throttle slide and pull the throttle slide out, on the spring there should be 3 washers which will fall out in your hand as you pull it out

Good luck

Good man! Cheers for that, i'll have to look for the washers asap as that is a fairly simple thing to do (I think / hope). I was aware of the ring in the exhaust - I need to get that done.

Thanks for your effort Very Happy

Good translation there TGE, I'm very impressed!
