Curvy restrictor washers

[SDMF]

I have both restrictor washers for carb'd SV's. Taken off my bike last year when she was de-restricted. Therefore I have no need for these now.

Yours for the price of a tank of fuel (£10:thumright:)

Would you take a pair of verniers to them and get an accurate measurement? Thinking of getting a load of them and selling them at cost as FI int. pi$$ me off

[SDMF]

Yeah, I can do- probs not this evening as it's dark in the garage now and hard to find stuff!!

FI are rip-off merchants. The restrictors originally cost me £80 plus fitting!
Could've done it myself then got the bike dyno'd to show that it was restricted to 33bhp for a fraction of the cost, of the washers themselves!

[yorkie_chris]

Thats what I intend to set up for orgers
Maybe a fiver inc postage then take it to a dyno

Would also like to find a way to attatch some sort of throttle restrictor which can be activated by pressing a button, 70bhp - pulled by coppers - press button - 33bhp. how convenient :-P

[muffin]

i will have the washers if you still have them?

You know when a bike is restricted you a get a bit of paper that says it is, if you were to get stopped and asked to show documents, do you think that anyone would know if is restricted or not? Can't see anyone putting it on a dyno to check........that is unless you crash it, then it may be checked.

You know alot of people know not a lot about bikes as it goes anyway.

[yorkie_chris]

They can and do take people to dyno stations, if you get somebody who knows bike rules and thinks you're taking the pi$$

[plowsie]

Christopher if you do have these would you fancy fitting them to mine ;)

You mean cheap restrictor washers or a 33/70 switchable thing?

I'm on with designing one at the moment in between uni work and such, the legality is dubious but I doubt theyd be able to prove anything if it came to court (unless you were clocked at 140mph or something daft)
Will work something like the throttle stop restrictors on the SV1000, except spring loaded, pull a pin out and thats the throttle stop in place and engine making 33bhp.

COuld do it by turning off the spark to one cylinder. But I think such a system would only really work with the FI models, if you had an upgraded ECU that is programmable...then you could have a switch like in GSXR1000's with diff modes

Full power and 33 bhp

Well next time melodys over here I will measure her restrictors accurately and see if the local bearing and bolt dealers can find me something to match.
If thy have them, they will be cheap and will start selling them off at a fiver posted.
A great big :smt097 to FI international :D

BTW, in preparation for my removal in july, what is actualy involved in restriction? Is it just an addition of something? Or is something replaced with another object?

I need to know incase I have to send it back to where I got it restricted, or if I can save a whole load of money and let my dad do it

Matt

[plowsie]

Yer cool, only thing is, how do we get round paperwork side of things, i thought it had to be signed off by a dealer?

It would run like a bag of bricks on one pot, but would be legal, I also think the GSXR system would be a bad idea, something where the method of switching is well out of sight seems prudent.

[plowsie]

2 washers somewhere about the carbs matty boy! take em out hay presto de-restricted.

Nope.

Not unless your insurance company require it, its certainly not in law about who fits what sort of restrictor, I did check with the coppers about this.

[plowsie]

Right i want washers now :D Chris you happy to "watch over" fitting?

Airbox off, with engine stoppped, open the throttle, push the black sliders up and look down there with a torch.
You may be able to see 2 shiny washers, if you can, pull the carbs off and remove them.

If there are no washers then your bike is done with the sliders, you will need your full power sliders, its a case of pull the tops of the carbs off and swap the sliders over, making sure you put the jet needle and diaphragm back right.

Aye

[plowsie]

Right so back to the point has anyone bought the washers for sale in this thread, as we have slightly highjacked it :lol:

[Alpinestarhero]

Chris and plowsie, thanks very much. Will have an inspection on my xmas vacation just to look, then I can see how much money to keep aside if it needs to go back to the bike shop. I wasnt supplied with any parts when I got the bike back, so I assume that washers where inserted

Matt

[yorkie_chris]

Put money aside? Don't be daft :p

If they've not given you the standard sliders back then you've been robbed, those parts are your property, get them back and don't accept any excuse for them saying you need to take the bike back to them. (there is no legal reason for them to keep them)
That is if there are no washers present, if so then its half an hour to get them out if the jubilee clips come off alright.

hmm, this is interesting, i'm in the same boat as matt here. will be looking to get my bike de-restricted in the summer. the only problem i would now have is that if there are bits that the dealer should've given me back when it was done i'll have to buy them as that dealer has now gone bust and doesn't exist!!

[yorkie_chris]

Or you could put some epoxy putty in the holes in the slider, then sand it back to the same shape.

Always a way, the stock sliders, if you have to buy from the stealers will probably be a bloody fortune.

Check your certificate, if its FI international on the certificate, its done with washers, if its suzuki then its the sliders.

[SDMF]

Sorry about the delayed response. My internets been playing up. I'm waiting to hear back from one person who emailed me first about the washers. If they don't get back o me in the next day or so. They will be available for Muffin first, and then Plowsie if still available.

[muffin]

cheers mate but i have just bought a kit and having it fitted at the dealer...............slightly more than a tenner though

[plowsie]

:smt026 :D

[SDMF]

Sold. To the original person who emailed me first.
