Needing 33bhp restrictor for Curvy!

Please help me, needing 33bhp restricter. I'm 18 and have just bought 1999 SV 650 curvey (and now spent all my money D'OH) but need a restricter to get me on the road. Also wouldn't mind some advice as to what you can get (ECU,throttle or washers in carbs) and if you can get a couple of different types, whats the best? Thanx SV'ers

your looking at £150 for the kit but then you need someone to fit it which is about £100 so they can get your certificate.....only way for a curvey is washers in carbs i think might be able to get some on ebay that someone has ripped out but that wont give you the certificate and youll have to fit them

As has been posted by others with experince than me, the advice has been that you don't you certificate for the restrication. I'm sure if you ask around someone can explain how to restrict your bike, from what I understand its quite easy. Can't help more than that as I have an injected bike. Welcome and enjoy your bike.

Thanks alot you guys. The law just isn' clear enough is it. I passed my test like all you guys and i just want to go for a ride on my new toy. Thanks Ben

By the way, does anyone know how Quick curveys are with 33bhp thanks Ben

100ish if down hill with a tail wind then maybe just maybe 110 indicated, fitting restrictors isnt hard and i think the general consensus was a dyno print out proving bike produced 33bhp would be enough...

Only if/when required - and going by what the copper said to me last week, you would be seriously unlucky to even be questioned about it. As long as your bike IS restricted to 33bhp (or less), then I wouldn't worry too much. Certainly that's what we've done for the missus' bike. It's restricted, I got the garage to mention it on the receipt, if we're ever really questioned about it, THEN I'll look into getting it dyno tested.

Give me a shout if you need any help fitting. I will be heading over to leeds again regularly next week.

I've got a set of restrictor washers I removed from my SV.

PM me your address and I'll post them out to you.

As for a certificate, its upto them to prove its restricted or not if they question you.

I was requested by a fellow *ahem "officer" to get it dyno'd and produce the print out, dyno sheet came back at 32.9bhp lol.
