"im dissapointed in you"

[c_dug]

Because my dad said those four fecking words im now paying to get my bike watered down to 33bhp, how do i go about getting raped by FI international? do i order the kit from them or do i have to go through a dealer?

Im not angry... im just dissapointed.

Hurts doesn't it??

If i remember correctly. you can go online and email sales department, or go to a dealer, and they should sort it.

Don't quote me!

Hi

For the TDR or the GPZ?

Don't think they will sell direct. They insist on a dealer fitting the kit and come out with some garbage about it only being valid if dealer fitted to support it.

All the best

Just make a throttle stop. Get a dyno print out at 33bhp. That is valid proof you can show to your old man, and whether you keep them in is up to you.

Don't go to scummy FI Un-earth the powervalve, in theory it should make the bike under 33hp

[Old man]

Nope its not for the TDR, i have the kit and certificate for that one sitting in the garage from the previous owner.

Its for the GPZ, the thing is i have no solid argument for why i shouldnt restrict it whereas he has a long list of reasons i should and to be fair they all make alot of sence.

If i do restrict it it'l stay that way until the restriction period is over, im not going to go behind his back about it.

p.s. dads a biker too and he knows more about it then i do, theres no tricking him!

Jack Hollis got a throttle stop fitted and dynoed to get his 33bhp and it's effective and cheap (comparitively) - £100 compared to silly amount for some washers and a certificate.

As titz said i got a throttle stop and dyno print out for only £90, got it done at road and track dyno in aylesbury.

Click me

Thats his site just give him a call saying you want a throttle stop and dyno print out for a 33bhp restriction. Only takes 30-40 minutes and the print out is proof it's restricted, easy to take out and put back on if you needed too.

By far the best and easiest way of restriction in my eyes, only thing is overtaking can be a bit of a pain sometimes because the throttle just stops and you can't turn it anymore

I'd say, that I haven't heard of anyone being completely fucked over by being unrestricted.

Would be interested to hear some anecdotes though...

All you have to do is get a couple of washers fabricated, it's hard to find the exact diameter without a bit of digging, as FI washers are oval shaped (in an attempt to stop people copying them I guess)

Anyway, find correct diameter to limit power, get washers punched of the right size (can't cost more than £20 or something), fit them yourself, and drop the bike on a dyno (which is what they'd do if you crashed, anyway, I assume) et voila, less than half price of FI

The secret of not 'dissapointing' your parents is not to tell 'em f*ck all. Another secret is not to give a sh1t what they think anyway. You were born with freewill. Use it.

Quick point about restriction,

If it is done through the carb could you work out the ratio and make the washer like that?

i.e. if the bike is 66bhp you put a washer in that restricted half the air flow?

Or doesn't it work like that?

Hi

Basically, amount of air = amount of power. So the total combined area of the holes in the washers is likely to be pretty constant between bikes.

Might easily be 10% out, but depends on how close you want to be.

All the best

Restriction ends 06/06/2009 so less than a year now.

Kickstart if the combined area doesnt change (much) then does that mean washers are interchangable? in which case i can whack the restrictors from the TDR into the GPZ?

Something about that sounds wrong to me so im guessing ive misunderstood what you've said?

Hi

Outer diameter means they would probably not fit, and being a 2 stroke might make a difference as well. But from another 4 stroke twin it would likely be pretty close.

All the best

But presumably that would only work with washers from something with similar power like a CB500 or GS500, whereas washers from something like a TDM900 would have smaller holes because it needs more restricting or am i thinking the wrong way about this?

Im not planning on using the restrictors from anything else by the way, just curious.
