Oh my fuc#ing god .....

[The#Doctor#]

i have just removed the restrictor from my bike cbr600fy btw
and what a difference it feels ten times faster!!


When i take the bike for a service do i need to put the restrictors back in the bike as im still on a 33bhp lincence or would they not notice ??

[ciaronr6]

I doubt whoever services your bike will be interested. Just dont go attracting the attention of the feds by acting silly...

[Frost]

Yeah keep the drug trafficing, kidnapping and terrorism to a minmum


Be careful on the bike too!
Keep an eye out of patches of gravel and oil as it will be alot easier to spint he back end up now you've got that extra power and a wrist thats still used to 33bhp

Leave the restrictor out for a service, the engine will get more from a service/set-up if it is as the manufacturer intended it to be. Leave it un-restricted and ride it sensibly, nobody will ever know unless you get caught doing something really stupid.
Exiting round abouts in the wet will be a new experience, have fun!

Hey Doctor, i got a CB500S restricted and was wondering how you got them to derestrict it, such as producing any false documents. Did you go to the same garage you got the kit from? and how much did it cost you to get it restricted?

[gsxrboy]

There is quite a lot of bullshine surrounding fiinternational, they are not the governing body or even any more legal in the insurance companys eyes than you whacking a broom handle down your exhaust and then sending your bike on a dyno run, have a look for some old posts on the subject.
If you are interested, I have an fiinternational approved broom handle for sale, £40 fitted

Personally mate I think taking the restrictor out when you've only got a 33BHP license is a bit twatish! My new Kawasaki EN 500 is waiting to go into the garage to be restricted down from 50 BHP which is much less than your bike. You also say that you were only riding a 13 BHP bike not that long ago, well do you really think your ready to be riding a bike of 98 BHP? The restrictor was there for your safety and by taking it out you are making yourself even more vulnerable than you were previously. You are an inexperienced rider and by doing this you are being bloody stupid.

98 Bhp isn't really all that much. With a decent set of tyres wheel spin isn't a problem - only in the wet but then it is for bikes with far less power as well.

100bhp isnt hard to handle-just lay off the throttle? I ride a 140+ bhp GSXR and its easy enough to live with, the crazy ponies arent unleashe unless you whack that throttle open.

Yeah but someone with experience will know how to handle a bike of that size, someone that was only recently on a 13bhp shouldn't be on a bike of that size.

How do you think people learn??

Going up in 1bhp increments?

33bhp is boring IMO, and you will find this out. For a bike like a cbr600, its made to go fairly quickly. It would be frustrating having a bike like that but only getting 33bhp.

Its fairly easy to learn about your bike when it's restricted to 33bhp and it QUICKLY becomes boring....It would be unadviseable to jump on a 98bhp bike straight away but he/she has already said they had the restrictors in in the first place.

I jumped onto an unrestricted er5 the day after I passed my test allowing me to ride a 33bhp bike. It was perfectly manageable. Entirely depends on the person and how sensible they are.

Any bike will go fast enough to kill you, even a moped. It's how you brake and corner that are more important in my book.
