Restriction

[GeneticBubble]

Hi guys i need help!

the garage can't legally restrict my sv becuase it has the race exhausts on, and i don't have the original, was wondering if anyone can lend a helping hand and maybe let me borrow/buy theres?

im in basingstoke, so would need someone close.

so much for getting to ride the bike by end of the week :(

I've got one thats had the link pipe cut, shouldn't be too hard to bodge it on with a beer can or something?

What kind of SV is it?
What type of restriction is it?

If its a ecu restriction sod the garage, do it you'reself.

Why not? The exhaust won't make any difference as the restriction is to the intake.

its a 99 curvy, think i need the down pipe aswell as the exhaust :smt017 the reason they say i need it is because the non road legal exhausts i have on can apparently add 3/4 hp and he's unwilling to stamp the certificate without the stock exhaust on

[Sally]

Woops, its a curvy.
Disregard the bit about ecu's..

Garage's dont usually have a problem with illegal plates and exhausts..
If thats why they wont fit it..

Is it a full system or a slip-on?

If its a slip on, hes talking out his @rse.

find another garage!

[GeneticBubble]

its a full system its got 2 exhausts instead of the normal 1

would find another garage but they already have bought the restrictor and the only other garage of the top of my head can't fit me in till 31st march

[Sally]

Local/independant mechanic?
You dont need the certificate for insurance purposes, its just a ploy to charge you an excessive amount of money for a peice of paper that isnt needed.

Did you buy the restrictor from them?

[GeneticBubble]

yea i paid them half the cost as a deposit and they ordered the restrictor in.
just phoned another garage waiting for a call back to see if they will be more lenient

[GeneticBubble]

ok so now another garage will do it thank god, but i have to wait till the 27th to have it done :( guess thats another week my bike will be sat in the garage.

oh that must be so tempting!

[SVDragRacer]

You could always fit it yourself then just go get a dyno run done and have the print out, thats proof enough.

[Sally]

If they ask for proof, which is rarely heard of.

[Sid Squid]

Read my earlier post.

The exhaust will make NO difference, it might give extra power at full throttle, which you will not get when the bike is restricted.

The restriction is to the intake - you could do whatever you wanted to the exhaust, it won't matter.

[GeneticBubble]

thanks sid i will quote that to the garage refusing to restrict it tomorrow and let you know what they say

[mills94]

sorry for reposting- will a slip on still keep it at 33bhp then? as i want to buy a slip on but worried whether it would increase the power making the insurance void??

[Sid Squid]

Think about it, the original exhaust allows enough gasflow to let the standard bike make 70ish BHP, if an exhaust could make a difference the original one already would.

ok cheers :)
