A2 Restrictor - Switching between restricted and unrestricte

[definitelyinc...]

Hello,

Does anyone know whether I can get some sort of switchable restrictor? I can't seem to find any on google, but a few websites mentioned some manufacturers make them.

Reason is I want to ride legit on the road, but I am planning on doing some trackdays etc. so would really hate to be restricted then...

Has anyone done this? Preferably something near the front bike, tucked away, so can be done quickly.

Bike is a kawa er6n 2013 (new shape) if that helps.

Ask yourself the following question:

Why would a legit restrictor vendor risk providing something switchable which can be proven to have a use of flouting the law? And why would someone less-than-legit bother with restriction at all?

Most restrictors are the physical type which require adjustments to the fuelling to match, so switching would probably screw up the fuelling. The other restriction option is changing the ECU mapping itself, which isn't going to be switchable on a factory unit for the reasons above.

It's certainly possible to do, but I doubt anyone has.

Modern FI bikes might be restricted by the ECU, switching the restricted ECU to full power ECU usually takes a matter of minutes under the seat.

Is your ER6 restricted with ECU or mechanically?

Test centre bikes have the facility to switch between, don't they?
So such devices must exist...

The ER6 is restricted by a physical throttle stop and a simple shorting plug. You need to remove the thingamajiggy and the plug. Couple of minutes.

Probably nothing happens, same as if you ride it completely unrestricted all the time.

You've got the information on how to do it right. If your goal is really track-days then it should be no problem at all for you to take a couple of minutes to de- and re-restrict it that way.

What you're really on about is riding unrestricted on the road, then flipping the Secret Switch when you're tugged, and that'll be Constable McGrumpy just flummoxed.

The chances of being stopped are minimal, and a piece of paper will end most conversations. No need to over-complicate it. If you really must come up with a Cunning Plan, I'd suggest that you should not paint a random screw on the throttle body yellow, and fit a harness plug with a dummy shorting wire.

It's a screw, just unscrew it.

I thought you needed a full A to get on a track anyway.

Also assuming that is really why you want a switch to make it A2 legal then not which it isn't. I wouldn't because I know as well as you that once you've got a taste for the full power that switch will be 'off' right up until you get pulled for whatever reason.

I'll just re-use this ol' thing ...

Back in the good olde 33hp days we just didn't bother restricting them and the police never bothered learning the laws.

Simpler times back then.

As above, on the ER6 it's two things, a thing that plugs into the diag port (supposed to dull the torque), then the torx screw goes into a hole on the throttle linkage. On an ER6-N I could remove and re-insert literally in seconds.

On my ER6F it took a little longer as I had to loosen the fairing a tad and then get in. But I could do it in 5-10.

Note the restrictor, as far as I know, has been in the same place which limits throttle to about 30% 'ish. This was the restrictor on the 33BHP, I would be surprised if they have changed the location on yours to allow it to meet the higher 'allowance' as yours is a '13 model and we didn't really have A2 when that bike was in production as it is now. So it may still be around 33BHP mark!
