Ask on 400greybike, if you buy second hand restrictors the certificate will be specific to the bike they were bought for so you'd still have to prove to police/insurance your bike is actually restricted. I don't see why a letter from the garage you get to fit them would not suffice though, despite what FI international would have you believe there is no actual law saying their certificate is needed to prove restriction you just need the bike restricted, and something to prove it was done helps as cops can't go putting the bike on a dyno or ripping it apart easily.

thanks for the replys,
i think my dad wanting to get insured on it is just his way of making sure i keep it restricted.
my dads a prick when i comes down to things like this, took the piss persuading him that i wasnt going to have a restricted 50.

I was looking for ways where i could just alter something fast and easy that would change it from 33-60 bhp,
the only idea i came up with was putting a switch to 2 of the leads for the spark plugs, but my dad refused that idea aswell
kinda like "get it restricted or get the fock out of my house" is what i get from my dad... Oh why couldnt i have a dad who was a fucking sissy!?

man, for what its worth just restrict it ureself, its a dammmm site cheaper than getting a garage to do it, and its keeps your dad happy. and another thing is, all the time you are riding on your restricted licence on an unrestricted bike, your insurance is void, so if you come off it, someone hits you, or someone steals your bike, or sets it on fire or you run some one over, or total your bike, none of this is going to be covered, you may aswell be chucking money down the toilet or ride around with no insurance, and you never know whats going to be a round the corner on a quick ride. so for what its worth mate, get it restricted, keeps ure old man happy, save yourself alot of agro, take your time and learn your road craft first. theres no point going balls out the bag on a tuono for example if you have no understanding of what it takes to SURVIVE on our roads. worth bearing in mind. safe riding. Thumbs Up

I would say fuck it to him. If he is gonna be a knob like that and you have bought your own bike etc, do what you want.

Tell him he's not going to be on insurance, and you are not going to restrict it. If he tells you to fuck, off, well go.

what does your dad ride/has rode? will he be able to tell the difference between 33 and 60? if he hasnt rode for a while perhaps any bike will feel fast to him, if hes use to a litre bike the 400 will feel slow anyway so he may just believe you.

so in that case, order on of these.

thanks for the reply's
Decided im going to restrict it and see how i feel with 33bhp, Im not going to ride it until iv gotten it restricted cuz i know i feel be disappointed if i ride it before hand.
Was 17 yesterday! Very Happy

and passed my theory test piece of piss, so now im gna book 1-2 days training and get my practice done asap.

One thing my dad was moaning about was he talked to 1 of his band members whos a mech at a bike dealership and he was chatting shit how it MUST be restricted by a dealership using FI.. told my dad it was complete BS.
A nice chap in Ireland is sending me a set of washers for the bike so i will fit them myself Very Happy

Is it worth having a Dyno on it once the kit is fitted just to make sure and use it as evidence to my insurance company?

PS whats the cost of a Dyno these days? Because if its exspensive then it could be just worth paying the 190quid to get it done "officially".
Also who actually has access to this FI international master database?
I talk about my dad WAY too much, he has too much influence on my life Mad

oh well 2 years time ill have finished my apprenticeship and be on 30k+ a year so he will see the rear of my arse soon enough Thumbs Up

Hi, dyno run is normally about £20, there or there abouts. I'd probably say get it done for your own piece of mind.
