Default restrictors,the hows etc

a couple of us were discussing restrictor kits on carbed bikes such as the sv etc.

Ive seen them advertised on here, but surely youd need a certified mech/dealer etc to say, yes theyre fitted, your bike is now 33bhp.
or can you buy them secondhand, fit them, and ride about, knowing your 33bhp, and if required, show your certificate that im assuming is supplied and thats it?

Its all unknown to me, as I took my test back in `95.

You don't need a certificate under the regs so no reason not to fit the kit yourself.

I've read on here of an insurance company insisting on proof in the way of a dyno chart before they'd continue a members insurance.

I'm not sure, but I bet TamSV does, can they do that as they knew you should be 33bhp at the time of starting cover and didn't specify it then?

no unless you want to get it restricted to 15bhp which is completely pointless
