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:

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  |

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 .
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  |

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? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
