RFC: Restriction

[Bendy]

I want to put together a dummies guide to restriction for the forum, cos it's always the same boring questions being asked. So here's a request for content - if you feel like writing a paragraph about anything useful to do with restriction, slap it in here.

Looking for things like:

- Useful links
- Explanations of how bikes are restricted
- Dos and donts
- Which insurance companies will ask for certificates
- Bikes that are 33bhp as standard
- Alternatives to the commercially available restrictor kits
- User experiences - do some bikes handle it better than others
- Etc.

Please make sure you're dealing in FACT and not 'I heard this so it must be true' - hopefully I can put together a reasonably comprehensive guide from all your stuff and it'll help out a few newbies.

Ta.

Oh yes, good one.

Takes up valuable space on here.

I think it's a good idea, seeing as the board is becoming increasingly clogged (IMO) with a lot of questions about it that have already been answered.

Thing is you also have to take into account is that most people are only going to rip them straight out anyway, so rather than answer the same load of questions it'll be easier to just give them a list of information/places they can get it done and let them sort it out.

I made up a complete DIY manual with picture by picture guide to restrict/ derestrict the er5. You can steal some pictures out of it, if you so desire. Even have a video of the bike performing 0-60 without it in, just to show some folk. Yes - had spare time.

Let me know and I'll pm it to you sometime.

You might want to look at specific bikes, well, ones with varying ways of restriction. rs125/nsr125 is a must though!

Information I can give is that CIA insurance ask for proof of restriction, but it does not have to be official. However, you'll hit a brick wall here, as some people were asked by CIA insurance for proof, some weren't. Not exactly helpful

2 Bikes that are definately 33bhp as standard (other than 125cc's) are:

Suzuki Goose 350, and kawasaki z250 (old bike!)

and i believe (maybe someone could confirm?) the honda bros 400 is also under the 33bhp limit.

good isea btw!
