33 BHP Restriction Proof?

John · World Chat Champion Joined: 27 Apr 2003 Karma :

Is there any ruling that says an official certificate must be got for the restriction, or will a dynograph printout do the same job?

A certificate would cost around £200, while a throttle stop and printout costs way under half.

Are there any dis-advantages with the dyno printout?

Hi

There is no legal requirement for any kind of certificate at all. However the police do have the power to check the bike is restricted / under 33hp, probably by a dyno test. The certificate will probably stop this hassle (unless you get caught at 130mph).

All the best

All the police can do is Dyno your bike, then make you get it restricted with proof.
Doubt it's gonna happen too much TBH.

I'm buying a bike which I'm told is 33bhp, but the certificate is lost. Does that mean I won't need to pay for a mechanic to check it over and pay for a new certificate from FI? If the cops need proof I can just get a dyno printout?

Well that would be the case TC if the law surrounding the restriction was solid.
As it stands at the minute there is now law regarding proof, only that your bike should be restricted.
You don't normally get prosecuted for having a bald tyre, a light out, or a blowing exhaust do you?

Then he's an arse Very Happy

Surely a producer and being told to get it fixed is better?

No point, I've probably been called it before.
The problem with the Police today (not all I'll give you that) is that they become real Jobsworths. Instead of trying to concentrate on making the roads safe, some seem to find it more interesting to prosecute everyone they can.
No wonder they're hated by a good percentage of the populace.

As I say, this is not all Police, just an increasing amount of them Very Happy

I got a Producer after being pulled for having no rear lights! (The one which was still working, died on the way home that night!)

Also had a bald fron tyre. He gave me some slip to get stamped by an MOT tester when the work was done and send off to some police bloke.

Okay guys. I was aiming for a restricted licence. Are we saying, as long as I'm careful, there's no reason why I could buy a bike, (say 500cc), and NOT have it restricted.

Is it down to luck of being caught ???

I thought it was a requirement to have a restricted certificate ???

Just Like I have a 900cc bike, Zim had/had a litre bike, as do Korn and Dru. We've not had a problem between us and we all have 120-odd BHP

Interesting...

New to this site. What is the best thing to search for regarding "restricted motorcycles" and the "uhm uhm" law.

hi there I am kinda new to all this... I have just passed my restricted test and am buying a fzr400. Will I need to show my insurance company a restriction certificate? Or will they take my word for it that it is restricted?

Thanks for your help

Most likely take your word and then if they find it isn't restricted when you come to claim they will screw you over.

Insurance companies will happily take your money when they are looking for victums but will do everything they can to get out of paying you if you make a claim. IMO insurance is a legal requirement, shouldn't the government attempt to make insurance fairer and thefore encourage people to get insurance Question
