Leave the restrictor out for a service, the engine will get more from a service/set-up if it is as the manufacturer intended it to be. Leave it un-restricted and ride it sensibly, nobody will ever know unless you get caught doing something really stupid.
Exiting round abouts in the wet will be a new experience, have fun!

Got mine as part of a deal when buying the bike but otherwise you get them from FI international and will cost about £75, best to get a shop to do it as you will need them to sign the certificate to prove that it was done for insurance purposes or if you ever need to prove it for any reason

https://www.fiinternational.com/

Can order them here and get a garage to fit it for you

Hey Doctor, i got a CB500S restricted and was wondering how you got them to derestrict it, such as producing any false documents. Did you go to the same garage you got the kit from? and how much did it cost you to get it restricted?

There is quite a lot of bullshine surrounding fiinternational, they are not the governing body or even any more legal in the insurance companys eyes than you whacking a broom handle down your exhaust and then sending your bike on a dyno run, have a look for some old posts on the subject.
If you are interested, I have an fiinternational approved broom handle for sale, £40 fitted Very Happy

I didn't get them to derestrict it i did it myself as i am still on a 33 bhp lincence and gsxrboy is right about a dyno run as if you do a dyno on your bike and it sais that your bike is only producing 33bhp this would be alright for the insurance, need help derestricting it and i can give you a quick guide on how to do it if you like as long as you can operate a screwdriver and an alan key it's easy

Best thing to do is to but a repair manual to find out how to do it exactly but shouldn't be much different to the cbr

remove the tank, turn fuel off, remove the breather tube and fuel line

remove the air box, although i could just move it out the way rather than removing all the pipes

Loosen the colars on the carbs and pull them out

you should see 4x washers on the inlets on the carbs, remove these and put the bike back together,

DONE as easy as that PM me if you have any problems Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Personally mate I think taking the restrictor out when you've only got a 33BHP license is a bit twatish! My new Kawasaki EN 500 is waiting to go into the garage to be restricted down from 50 BHP which is much less than your bike. You also say that you were only riding a 13 BHP bike not that long ago, well do you really think your ready to be riding a bike of 98 BHP? The restrictor was there for your safety and by taking it out you are making yourself even more vulnerable than you were previously. You are an inexperienced rider and by doing this you are being bloody stupid.

98 Bhp isn't really all that much. With a decent set of tyres wheel spin isn't a problem - only in the wet but then it is for bikes with far less power as well.

100bhp isnt hard to handle-just lay off the throttle? I ride a 140+ bhp GSXR and its easy enough to live with, the crazy ponies arent unleashe unless you whack that throttle open.

Yeah but someone with experience will know how to handle a bike of that size, someone that was only recently on a 13bhp shouldn't be on a bike of that size.

How do you think people learn??

Going up in 1bhp increments?

33bhp is boring IMO, and you will find this out. For a bike like a cbr600, its made to go fairly quickly. It would be frustrating having a bike like that but only getting 33bhp.

Its fairly easy to learn about your bike when it's restricted to 33bhp and it QUICKLY becomes boring....It would be unadviseable to jump on a 98bhp bike straight away but he/she has already said they had the restrictors in in the first place.

I jumped onto an unrestricted er5 the day after I passed my test allowing me to ride a 33bhp bike. It was perfectly manageable. Entirely depends on the person and how sensible they are.

Bleh, this argument has been done to death. If he says he'll take it easy then there's no harm. You're riding the bike, not the other way around. Whether the throttle is open or closed is up to you.

I wouldn't turn down a ride on a 250hp MotoGP bike if I had the chance and I doubt you would either.

Good on you for getting the EN restricted so your fully legal. However if you honestly belive your gonna be safer at 33bhp than 50bhp you shouldn't be on the road!

50bhp will go just as slow as 33bhp, you control what the bike does. If the bike controls you, you need to think hard about your life expectancy.

When I first started biking 4 years ago I had a ts50 3bhp. One day I whent pillion with a guy I worked with. He pulled other and said your turn, 3bhp too 100+bhp of a slightly tuned bandit 1200. Did I crash? No. If I would of put it in first, opened up the throttle and droped the clutch then continued to red line it through out the gears I probally would off.

From the ts50 I progressed on to a vfr400 and now a z750. While I am no riding god and often get overtaken by other bikers I have yet to fall foul of the power, as I ride what I think are within my limits. If anything I think the z750 is the easiest bike to ride that I've owned so far because of the power and torque, makes thing more relaxed not constantly changing gear. Only thing is you can't open it up like a smaller bike as your doing speeds which will loose your licence within seconds and thats before you click into 3'rd,4th and 5th.

To the original poster, take it easy and don't become another statistic too prove the safty nazis right.

Any bike will go fast enough to kill you, even a moped. It's how you brake and corner that are more important in my book.

Thanks, will do Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I have been riding the bike all day and it feels amazing now the restrictors off and to all of you safety nazis as said above it is me who controls how fast i go as i know how fast the biike can go and therefore have respect for the bike, and as said above 100hp does not feel hard to handle and i feel alot safer on the cbr600 than i ever did on my 13hp 125 as i know have power if i need it, to get out of trouble etc and ride within my limits and just out of interest what do you ride Mockey. Question
