ouch. thats the fuel injected one i belive. you'll have a hard time de-restricting that without taking it to a dealer, and it depends on the dealer weather or not they'll do it because of your age.

run it in for 600 miles first, though Smile

Wait til your 17 and get a 125 or do your test!

It should be electronically restricted (I think), so the main dealer garage can do it for you, they need to cut a wire.....

Technically you won't be able to ride it legally until you're 17, plus if you don't tell your insurers then your insurance will be void....

So as long as riding around on a ped you arn't licenced for with void insurance dosen't bother you, go for it!

Oh, I forgot, get uprated rollers and a blue powerband...
Very Happy

yes it is the fuel injected one.

yes that is the only thing im not sure about, the whole void insurance. i dont like the idea of splashing out £2500 on a brand new ped to have it taken away from me for being un-insured....

I will have a good think about weather i will go ahead with it...
And yes it will do a good 600 + miles before anything changes .

Yeah if its a Runner SP Purejet then its a dealer only derestriction...

No wires to cut though...

It needs a different ECU program and the gearing restrictor removed. Wink

this is the thing - you wont technically be insured, but you arent going to get pulled over for no insurance. unless, that is, you do 50 in a 30 on you "restricted" ped Laughing

We do them at work, just requires a parent to sign a disclaimer stating they know its illegal and that the machine is now for "Race Use Only" and shouldnt be used on the road.

i believe that is the same thing they do at the dealership i purchase my bike from to. So the parents have to be persuaded ... Twisted Evil

thanks for the advice. helped alot....

Im just thinking weather there are other things other than derestriction that can boost the speed? i know a sprt exhaust would .... and you can always take it off if stopped by police?

Remember if you are followed by an unmarked (or marked) Police car and they clock you doing more than 30mph on your moped they may do a PNC check on you and then will find out your age. If they do you may kiss good buy to your pride and joy as in the eyes of the law you are not licensed and not insured.

FFS, get real here people.. i bet you will be hard pushed to find one moped in the country used by a 16 year old that HASNT been derestricted. personally, i TOLD my insurance that my dna 50 was dereastricted, and they just said oh thats not a problem, we'll list it as a modification. i didnt get pulled over because

1. i didnt ride like a twat (esp. not through villages ect)
2. i always wore my jacket gloves + prot. trousers, and therefore looked sensible.
