Fitting a restrictor kit

[Eas85]

Hi guys,

I'm picking up a 1992 XJ 600 on Friday and need to fit a restrictor over the weekend. I can just about manage to clean the chain on my CG so I think I'm really gonna struggle with fitting the kit. Has anyone had to do this before and could help? I'm in Leicestershire, can pay with beers or whatever lol.

Also, anyone know if there is such a thing as a motorcycle maintenance course that I could do to learn a bit more about servicing my bike?

If you were nearer to me I might have been able to come and help you. It's easy enough anyway. I don't know about your bike but on mine I just had to take the tank off, airbox off and lift the carbs up then put the washers in. I'm sure there will be a video tutorial on youtube somewhere or a better write up than what I have done. I really is easy though, even if you have no experience I think you'll be surprised afterwards by how easy it was.

easy as pie, I restricted my xj

take tank off (2 bolts)
take airbox off (1 bolt, 4 clamps)
take carbs of (4 clamps)

pop restrictors in, and do the reverse to put it back together

AS already said easy enough, but make sure you put back all the breather tubing on the airbox in the correct locations.
Also the tank tubing as above(petrol feed,vacuum pipe, breather pipe).
If you dont have a manual its probably best to make notes or even take photos of where everything goes before removing it
By the way, leave fuel tap in on position, not prime and you wont lose any fuel when you take off the tank. Also remove tap control lever before removing tank as its very easy to damage when tank is off the bike.
Good luck

easy eh? got the bike, and i must have an IQ of about 2 because i cant even get the seat off. how much would a garage charge to fit this little plate, would they even do it?

You're only just down the road from me, literally. I'm in Stoney Stanton.

I've not fitted restrictors before but they seem simple enough to do. My carbs are off on my bike at the moment and I can actually see the restrictors*!

*How they haven't fallen out yet is beyond me.

FI International, they sell restrictor kits with "official" certificates. There's nothing official about them, you don't need a certificate, just that the bike is a maximum of 33bhp.
