Hornet 250 Restriction Kit

[Charlie]

Hello,

Does anyone have a restriction kit for a Honda Hornet 250 which they give me the dimensions of?

I have found a nice 250 hornet in very good condition near-by, however I can just afford it with insurance, but not the restriction kit. It is a really nice bike and I would have bought it today if he had given the restriction kit out for free. Its also pretty much the only bigger bike that I can change my current policy to which I have only had for 6 months. Been wanting to buy a hornet 250 for ages, seems the right bike for me.

Any help much appreciated

Charlie

Does the Hornet 250 definitely require the restriction kit? I assumed it made just about 33 bhp full derestricited...

On the flip side FI do list a kit for it, so it must have put out more than 33bhp from the factory.

Still get a run done and see though.

Find a place with a dyno and get a run first (like Ham said). If it is over then ask them if they will throttle restrict it. A garage near me does the restriction and dyno printout for £100, which is quite reasonable compared to the FI kits.

The dyno's round here are about £40 a run (I think thats what my Dad's was).

I shall give them a ring tomorrow at some point and see what if they can do anything, hopefully should be able to get it sorted so I can buy the bike

Good luck. The Hornet 250 is an awesome bike.

Rang up two Dyno places today, dynojet doesn't do anything in the way on restriction

And the Junction 33 dyno place said it costs £25 to do a run to see how much power it is putting out then he can de-tune the carbs if need be. I forgot to ask the price for the de-tuning of the carbs. So looks like I am going to be using Junction 33 dyno.

Thanks guys

Well I have picked the bike up - its amazing, I don't care what anyone says I love it to bits I think it could be restricted was getting about 90mph on the motorway, shall get a run on the dyno very soon.


ARH!!! LOVE IT!

[Matt06]

Might be. The Hornet 250 should be good for 110ish meh thinks.
