Just say "prove it does" to the examier

Get it booked onto a dyno asap. You should have done this earlier mate.

They'll give you a print out, showing that it's 15bhp or so (which I hope it is) Ring around. If the 1st place you phone don't have a dyno, ask them where the closest one is.

[stinkwheel]

Tell them you have no proof, it was bought as a standard bike and you haven't tampered with it, they don't come with a certificate.

Don't then shoot off and go straight up to 70mph on the dual carriageway like it is no effort. Remember a 12bhp bike starts running out of pull at 60mph then crawls a bit faster really slowly.

[tony532]

exactly which is why you will be lucky to take a cat a2 test on an rs125


edit:- get the examiner to take it for a spin if he questions it

he will be insured to ride any bike

i am.

This law actually come into play between the time I failed my first test and took my second one, I was NOT a happy bunny when I got turned away because I didnt have any documents, I wasnt even informed it had changed.
I got the garage I bought it from to write me up a letter saying it was restricted (It wasnt ), That was enough. Had to rebook, Which they did for free after I kicked up shit and I passed on my derestricted RS125

Makes no mention of needing any restriction certificate.

dont be afraid to push it up, wont blow up untill u start diggin it in the red or have no 2t oil

if its restricted dont worry about proving it


tell him to ride it, it'll be obvious

[houlsby]

blodee hell , mine is restricted and indercated 98 mph today on the A5 your bike is iver a 50 or f**cked????




trust, if you got 98 out of an rs it wasn't restricted. it will have at least a powervalve fitted. ( am i right in thinking that the rs has restrictors in the bit where the exhaust joins the engine, in the carbs & reeds or is the guy at work talkin shite?)

[cagiva gezzer]

The DSA started cracking down on bikes that had no proof that they're restricted a few years ago. Most restricted bikes have something about the power on the VIN plate.

Although you don't need any proof, the test is meant to be taken on a bike that can do a certain speed, but is under a certain power, so if you can't proove you bike fits this criteria they might get stroppy. Depends on the place, so phone them up.

I fear you are all over-complicating this far too much.

Just write RESTRICTED on the side in big red letters, that'll show 'em

he is right with aprilias you do have to prove its restricted. No training centres around here would let me use my aprilia to take lessons on unless i had the proof. And there was a letter in the test centre from the dsa saying about sprilias not being allowed without the necessary documents. you may be shit out of luck mate, could you hire a bike?

if there is something in the vin plate wot is it???

[stevo as b4]

i cant belive the examiner even has the right to ask you to prove your RS125 is restricted. Id tell him you dont have proof, and ask where it states that RS125 owners have to have this proof of restriction? Why dont they ask every 125 owner if thier bike is restricted then? Even the 4stroke ones, as i woulnt expect most large bike riding examiners to know anything about de-restricting 2stroke 125's or even that they can be de-restricted. I mean alot of learners dont even know about how and if their 125's can be de-restricted, and some couldnt care less either way, and buy a bike for the looks not because they know they can double its power output easily. And anyway why would the examiner ever even suspect that your bike was not restricted anyway?

[TOM M]

well he cud suspect for the simple reason that 99% of the rs125 that i no have had it de-restricted.

i didnt realise that soem examiners asked for proof as it doesnt say on the dsa website and when i booked my test ova the phone, no-one told me about it and they even asked if i was taking the test on my own bike.

[DynaMight]

It makes sense to ask, They only ask for proof on the sports 2t 125's. Any other bike they wont bother because they know it cannot be derestricted.

ALOT of RS125/Mito etc owners have thier bikes derestricted and riding on a CBT licence (I know I did), So it makes sense to stop peeps taking thier test on an illegal bike
