Restrictor Kit (33bhp/25kw) - £100 delivered

[extreme601]

My bike shop messed up the order so I have two restrictor kits, selling the second one for a low price to get it gone.

This is a genuine Yamaha kit that can be fitted and/or removed in less than twenty minutes.

Certificates and instructions are provided.
This kit is for the 2004-2007 versions of the Yamaha FZ6.

Thanks very much for looking!

Why do you want to restrict it

On his side of the pond, new riders are restricted to 33bhp for a certain number of years, then they can unleash their bikes power once they've proven they can handle the basics. It's not a terrible idea for brand new riders. Personally, I'm glad I started out on a little 200cc, as despite my caution, there were a few times when I would've wrecked if I were on a 600cc+ bike. It's easier to learn to ride when you have little power on hand, so you can focus on the rest of riding. I know, some people learn just fine on the bigger bikes, but I'm betting most started out a bit smaller. :thumbup:

It's definitely a shame to have to do, but the law's pretty strict on it.

I've owned a 125 and a ZXR400 for almost two years so I can remove my kit in a few months, certainly looking forward to that day

note that the restricted route is only if you take your tests on a 125, if you're over 21 then you can sit it on a 46.6+bhp machine and then ride anythign you like.

think the law's changing again though and you need to be 25 to do that!

 

[extreme601]

It is indeed.

I think there'll be 4 stages: 50 max, 125 max, 250 max then de-restricted, each lasting two years or something like that.

Very glad I did it on the old system last year, I only have to wait 2 years

Has anybody got a link to these new rules.

i'm surprised your kit hasn't "fallen off", seems to be a common problem


i don't think the new rules are set in stone yet, it's just a european directve so far i think

But I'm sure you gave the bike a bit of a hoon before fitting your restriction... right?

Mmmaybe

I'm curious, how do these restrictor kits affect fuel mileage? Does it suddenly turn into a 60mpg bike, or is it just slower and inefficient?

 

[FloppyRunner]

Looking at the picture, it looks like maybe it simply limits your throttle...? So it's probably just the same as if you babied an unrestricted bike, and it's still a 40mpg bike... hmmm...

You're absolutely right.

The kit is now sold. Thanks for looking

Is there any way to fake having it on your bike? I mean, does some gubberment official ride it to test it ... or is there some sort of sticker stuck on the side of the bike that indicates the restriction is in effect? Can it be faked that it is installed?

Just curious

I did my restricted test but never used restrictors and never got asked even when stopped by police. The M.O.T station doesn't test for it cos they don't know the implications of your licence. I wouldn't even bother to restrict it IMO
