Only whilst I sort out a good deal. Is this a bad idea?

You'll be pretty devastated when you get on it after it has been restricted though.. then you'd probably want to de-restrict it and have wasted your money. I'd avoid Thumbs Up

I've never restricted a bike only ever de-restricted them. I've never had a problem personally.. Just keep in mind that if you do get caught it is a lot of bother for you.

Wouldn't that be the same as riding without a licence(not that I'm one to talk) but if you're only licenced to ride a restricted bike and ride a non restricted isn't that the same??

How comes it's taking so long to get restricted?

Yes, but everyone on the internet is a hypocrite.

Yes it is riding outside the terms of your licence.

OP, Only you can say if the risk is worth it. But if you do and you then restrict, then you will be gutted at the diffrence.

So long as you don't go being silly without restrictors in, and attract attention to yourself. You might be fine.
But at this time of year, the police do tend to have crackdowns. So i would avoid going to any place where lots of bikers go.

The down side is its will be one hell of a £ hit if you get caught over the next few years.

That's because it's different.

When the policeman checks on his little computer, Steppen will come up as licenced and insured restricted or not. If Wreckage got checked he'd come up as an unlicenced and uninsured rider.

Then i guess it's lucky the nice mr policeman won't find the need to get his little computer out,
Which cant be said for 5 years ago..

But wouldn't the fact that the bikes not restricted when the licence is for a restrcited bike invaldate the insurance??

I did that.

Technicalities aside, you may notice that after the bike is restricted you will actually become a faster rider. You will learn to use the momentum of the bike and sustain speed through corners better on a restricted bike. However, as you've had a 125 before this, you might not notice it as profoundly as I did, stepping up from a 50.

You'll pretty much always be covered TPO even if you have broken the rules. If you are FC and you break the rules, you won't get a payout.

This is all on the basis that they find out though. As far as I'm concerned, I'm on the insurance database so I'm insured. It's the only reason I buy insurance.

I havent had a chance to say it yet, i think this is an appropriate thread to throw it in to.

As of yesterday i am legaly allowed to ride whatever the fuck takes my fancy Cool

And just to keep this post on topic, In my two years i was never ever restricted, i got pulled over once with no questions asked. I also had my bike inspected with a fine tooth comb in london a seperate time, again restriction was not mentioned, the policeman was an arsehole so if he knew i dont doubt he would have asked.

Basicly i mean i'd say you are fairly safe to ride like that for a few weeks, just dont put yourself in situations where the police are likely to ask questions (i.e. dont get pulled at 150mph Laughing)

Why do you have to wait to get it restricted, if you are waiting for an FI kit to be delivered please do a search on this forum about their kits, if you have paid the FI price you are being ripped off! If not then ignore this paragraph.

HTH

I waited the 2 years, I never cared.

What if I had a crash/hit a pedestrian and the insurance had become void. I would technically have been riding without a license and my insurance company could have argued the toss.

Why risk it.

Yes, but even invalid ins still gives 3rd party only cover... So if you hit anyone they would still get money.... Just you may well end up being sued by the ins co to recover the loss.
Never mind the fact, invalid/no ins is going to load your ins so much for years to come....

As far as restriction goes, what choice is there other than an FI kit?

They appear to have little or no competition in the marketplace, hence the overinflated prices.

Do it.
Likelihood of getting busted is very very slim.
Just don't crash and hurt anyone otherwise it starts to get more complicated.

Ebay, people sell their old ones.

Get the correct dimensions and get a set made up, they are just washers with the right size hole drilled at the end of the day.

Fabricating a throttle stop would not be too hard, then just get your bike dyno'd at full power and work out at what throttle opening is it making 33bhp or there abouts, then fit the stopper to not allow to to give it more beans.

I think the only time you are truely limited is when it is an ECU restriction.

steppen22 can, however, do his DAS, or could have.

Not doing DAS when you can is a very foolish decision, IMO, as this thread proves.
