Pointy restriction methods?
 

Hiya,

i have seen a few ECU restrictors for sale that fit a K3 recently, mine is restricted but seems to have a throttle stop not a different ECU (only opens about 1/3 to 1/2) is this normal?

Thanks
IPH

Hi,
I have k5 and the go slower washer in too along with the throttle stop, which dose that exactly, only lets you open half of it , but it still rev's up fully if you have a long enough road to wait for it. HTH

Hi,

Newbie question here so be gentle :study:

Just collected a Curvy last night. All seems fine on a short test ride in a 30mph area :D
How do I tell if it has a restrictor kit fitted, what / where does a restrictor go (is it in the ECU, or an engine / exhaust bolt-on ?) :confused:
I had a quick search but didn't see any definite answer.

thanks folks :cool:

Re: Restrictor
 

you will feel if it has a throttle stop on it, and if its an ECU restriction, you'd need a decent long straight road, and the restriction will kick in about 8K rpm and you will really feel the bike just stop revving and acceleration will become non-existant.

Re: Restrictor
 

Thanks for the info. The bike was reving fine but I only took it to about 3k as there was frost on the road :smt114 Didn't check where throttle hits the stop.
Sounds like I'll be able to tell more once I find a decent bit of road.

cheers :cool:

Well you can test the throttle stop without having the bike running ;)

Re: Restrictor
 

A curvy wouldn't have ECU restrictors as they are carbed aren't they? I think the restrictors to a curvy are washers in the inlets - as Tom says, you'd feel that a throttle stop has been put on even without the engine running

Re: Restrictor
 

swin is right about the curvy restrictor, there are washers to prevent to much stuff in the carbs

and thanks :) its good to know its normal :P

Re: Restrictor
 

If it does an indicated 120...pretty sure it wouldn't be restricted! :P on private roads of course :D.

Curvy has the washers :) no ECU restriction!

Re: Restrictor
 

a restricted bike should do about 90... mine seems to do an indicated 100 tho ( again, private land :P )
not complaining tho :D
