How many of you have ............

[The#Doctor#]

removed the restrictor kit from bikes because you are on a 33bhp lincence and had to have them on to buy it ??
Have any of you ever been caught or even asked if there was a restrictor kit fitted to your machine ?

I know a lot of people on derestricted bikes on restricted licences, the chances of getting caught by the police are slim.

But if you have a large accident, and the insurance co look at your bike, you'll find you're no longer covered.

And therefore, up the proverbial creek.

I had a de-restricted ZXR when i was on my restricted licence.

Had a big crash...

...they didn't even look at the bike.

My 400 was derestricted. My 600 is restricted still. 1 becuase it has more power than i can probably handle and 2 i don't know how to do it on this bike.

[BigBoss]

Thats good to hear,

Dont plan on restricting my bike, if your wondering why its costing alot of money just getting the bike on the road with tests, insurance etc.

Or maybe im just a tight bastard

It's worth getting em restricted just for the paperwork. Someones bound to ask.

I just thought up a really odd ananlogy, tell me if it works; Its like someone asking if your wife is pretty, and you hold up a skimpy pair of her underwear... Proves nothing but shuts them up...

Think that vaguely works. Anyhew i got pulled doing things a 33 bhp bike could never do. Got let off and it wasnt mentioned. Oh and only one companies asked for the restriction certificate.

Cool - as i am going to derestrict my 600 this week as 1. There is no power above 8500rpm 2. Eats petrol 3. Is sooooo frustrating as when you start to accelerate hard as soon as you feel like your getting somewhere the restrictor kicks in and you have to change gear What kind of difference will i notice when i take them out? The bike is a cbr600Fy BTW

Well I got caught at 105.4mph on a "restricted" Fireblade and they never asked about it. Restricted speed was supposed to be 98, but every 33bhp bike i've ridden has done about 110 indicated, so about 100-103 really.

[Ste]

My ZX6R was never restricted, my TL1000R was restricted for the entire duration of the ride home from having them fitted amy local shop. Insurance company never made any mention of 33bhp, was stopped on the ZX6R at 17 by a bike cop who reckoned it was the largest I could ride until I was 21.

[0ni]

No one asked. So didn't bother.

Such a waste of a bike if it is restricted - why not just by a smaller better handling bike?

Taking the restrictors out really isn't hard, as long as you can operate screwdrivers and allen keys.

Honda I'd expect won't remove them until your two years at 33bhp is up, and it'd seem daft to pay them to do something relatively simple anyway.

[Reevo8]

[JonB]

If i'm gonna be honest the restriction hasn't bothered me one bit because: -
A...I don't need to go 100MPH everywhere to get somewhere.
B...There is more than enough power to overtake.
C...I'm legal
D...I still get 200 miles to a tank.

I can;t be arsed with the hassle. I know I have cover for insurance and i'm not breaking a law. Leaves me with piece of mind really.

my bike has never been near a restricter kit
