Hi guys,
So i was at the test centre sorting out my certificate because he put me A instead A2 and i gave him license so waited 3 weeks for new and now he saying i didnt gave it to him what a cunt. But back to topic i was looking at bikes outside and there was bike with a "switch" a lock you put key inside turn and it was A or A2 so you could switch over derestric with just key quickly. It was on throttle area so something with throttle. Any idea how to make it?
Thanks!

itll be a locking pin that goes into the throttle housing. the key just moves it across

I read all of it and dont really get it, some say this some say this im confused now so basically a switch that a key you twist right to unrestrict and left to restrict is illegal. What if because i want to add my dad on my bike anyway cuz it gets cheaper by 300£ insurance because he has full license what if i say for example i ride restricted but ''my dad only have keys to unrestrict''

Restricted via a different ECU, it's a 2 min job to swap.

where do i get such ECU that makes 46.6 bhp ?
I have question i found this
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XJ6-XJ-6-2009-on-Restrictor-Kit-35kW-46-46-6-46-9-47-bhp-DVSA-RSA-Approve-/321873792070?hash=item4af12c4c46:g:p1IAAOSwxH1UEtWc

So basically if i restrict it with this does it mean that i cant red line ? for example it goes up to 6000 and cant go any further ? or how does this works ?

The engine will rev freely right to the red line with no load even if you only open the throttle a small amount.

According to the description, this kit restricts the bike by limiting the travel on the throttle linkage. This is a physical restriction, rather than electronic. I can't say I've ever seen a fully electronic restriction kit.

As for exactly how this kit works, I couldn't say as the description is rather vague. It does appear more to be the old style of exhaust manifold flow restrictors, but it does say that it does 25kW and 35kW so most of the parts in the picture may not be needed.

It's just a piece of metal that stops the throttle turning all the way round, around 50%- similar to the picture below (I know it says "standard"- the Australian FZ6R is restricted to LAMS standard). The part is the top-left bracket in the eBay picture.

Having ridden a restricted XJ6, the bike doesn't really feel restricted, especially at lower speeds. It's only until 70+ that you start to want more power, but at legal speeds you will win the traffic light GP every time.

At lower speeds you can easily redline the bike, it does feel a litle breathless at higher RPMs but still quick. As the speeds get higher then you start to notice the loss of power more.

I've never seen such an ECU- every XJ6 I've seen restricted (on the 'net) and the one IRL one I've seen is by a throttle plate, similar to this:

https://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo352/The_Bear_21/Bike%20-%20FZ6R/00331a29.jpg

A guy in Australia does this exactly and creates a "switchable" restrictor. In Aus. the FZ6Rs (a.k.a. rebranded XJ6F) come restricted from the factory so he is actually making a switchable de-restriction:

IMO the solenoid is overkill, I'd rig up some sort of clip that you push in and out with a long screwdriver from the outside that would engage the restrictor.

Have you ridden the bike restricted? It won't be full power, but it won't be slow... Just leave the restrictor in and forget about it, no point putting your licence, insurance, safety, etc. at risk over a few bhp Thumbs Up

I can vouch for Kickstart on eBay, I think he's actually a member of this forum, got the restrictors for my old Bandit from him.

Hi all, i bought XJ6 2013 with 10 000 miles on it but overall in good condition. He let me test ride it and it seems good except that when i turn slightly while riding it pulls me even more to the side im turning maybe something with bearing or tire because he said i need to change front tire, and back one i replace as well so they will be brand new fresh tires Very Happy.
I rode the bike around my streets unrestricted as im waiting for restrictor so i will later insure it and could ride anywhere but for now jsut rode up my street and damn that has pull, like when i full throttle i have to hold tight to steering or else it will push me off xD, its fun but dangerous as i might go crazy with it, so i will restrict it and see maybe it will still has some pull but be legal Very Happy

Not so much illegal, as quite likely doesn't render the bike restricted as it can still produce full power with no modifications.

All the best

It's a grey area, it's not countenanced in the legislation. There appears to be more Eurobollocks coming to prohibit the sale (note, sale) of restricted bikes, so I wouldn't expect the situation to get better.

Can your dad not ride a restricted bike then?
