Say it isn't so!!

[MikeyC]

Ok, now heres the biggest joke of all......

Called Honda Uk, tried to order a new CDI unit from them, heres their response....

'After speaking to head office, all our 2002 spec NSR 125s are sold with full power. You cannot get a CDI unit from ourselves as we do not do them. If you have been offered an aftermarket unit, we advise you do not use this as it ruins your warranty'

In a nutshell, they reckon all 2002 NSRs are not restricted, they are on full power! Please say this can't be true!?!

[MarsBar]

The problem lies in there head office.. where they employ people who know fuck all about bikes or the bikes they sell (paperwork people). What they said is not true, because all 125cc bikes sold from new in the UK must be restricted to below 14.4hp. The UK spec NSR125 is around 12hp restricted.

i heard that 2002 onwards nsr's were un de restrictable . it was on a post on this site.

its all part of honda's masterplan.. if they make them un-derestrictable then noone will buy them cos they will be shit, which is good cos honda need an excuse to stop making them soon because of all them strange "law" things that are coming into play sometime in the future that say something about emmisions and well lets face it, 2 strokes have high emissions the government are coming for j00 RUN!

its such a joke, the bike feels so restricted! feels so slow! no1 seems to have any aftermarket stuff and breakers have nothing, seems to be something everyone is steering well clear of! I should have bought the 2001 spec, then i could have fully derestricted it. Just seems like a big joke!

[Korn]

Mike - I'll bet they are restricted in the exact same way as every other NSR from 1993 onwards. Why would Honda spend money developing a new restriction scheme when the current one works perfectly. Especially as they've changed nothing else on the bike.

Have you check your exhaust and intake manifolds for restrictor discs? The whole CDI thing is a myth and only affects foreign import bikes, all UK ones have never needed the CDI changing.

What if the bike was meant for another market and is restricted like some of the bikes from countries like Finland etc. We're always getting them post on here saying their 2001 bikes are restricted in different ways...



Actually I agree with Zim. Rightio...no more Honda's for me

[MikeyC]

korn, i took my bike in originally to take out all the common restrictors and the mechanics came back puzzled, saying they do derestrictions all day, but the common restrictors usually in place were not there, which could only mean a new cdi, which is what started all this off in the 1st place!!

[Korn]

Have a look for yourself. When it comes to de-restrictions most Honda mechanics seem to have about 0.000023 of a clue of how it's done.

lol! true! but to be fair it wanst a honda dealer i took it to, rex judd in north london, not sure if you have heard of them, but they didnt seem to know what day it was let alone anything bout bikes! This is what i have to put up with though, changing gear at bout 11,000 rpm, 0-60 still takes 11 secs flat (may as well be on a damn pushbike!), tops out at 80mph, maybe 85 going downhill with the wind behind me!

[Kris]

Yea that is actually very true. Part of Honda's training for workshop 'monkeys' seems to be brain removal therapy

[Korn]

Has anyone derestricted an RS125 or Mito?...their standard restrictors are (apparently) just in the exhaust, and I assume that they don't need to be drilled out, and therefore most mechanics don't think twice about it...but with the NSR, they probably see the welds, and think "ahh, no restrictions here"...

well the only mate i know whos mechanically minded is up in swansea at the mo at uni! I'll be the 1st one to put my hands up and admit im not the most practical of people so i dont even wanna start looking at it with doubts in my mind! so unless theres any1 not far from the london area willing to give up a saturday afternoon to give me a hand, i would appreciate it!

[WildGoose]

i wasnt too impressed with rex judd

i went there to look at second hand bikes, and he didnt seem to know much about either, and was a typically slimy used vehicle salesman

fag in one hand, asking me when i wanted to buy it

i asked the guy if the SV650 had a neutral light, he immediately said yes, but had to turn it on to find it, then concurrently set off the alarm

/me claps slowly
