That article says they don't care about the certificate, which is a very reasonable stance to take as they prove nothing. I'm quite sure they would be happy to wiggle their way out of a claim if they found a bike was claimed to be restricted and was not...

My Insurance did not even bother asking, we actually told the broker that I ride it restricted and the other half does not (pointy, so just swap ECU). The Insurance people just said cool and gave us the cover. No one asked to see proof and of they do, we have ECU numbers for them.

Not having it restricted is naughty though if you have a restricted license and does also invalidate your insurance as far as I understand it. The answer, do not crash into anyone and don't get caught speeding.

None of the insurance companies i have used have asked for any proof of restriction. And Jayne, surely if you ride unrestricted on a restricted license it invalidates your insurance and your license!?

Well, yes, that's certainly true. They would care very much if you had an accident while riding unrestricted. But the word from a friend who works in motor claims is unless the accident appears to be directly related to the power of the bike they won't worry about a bhp here or there.

Absolutely, it is for this reason, I always have to remember to swap the black box back over when Carol and I have been out together.

I think they do nasty mean things to you if they catch you doing it. I personally do not do such a thing, but I am aware of others who have or do ride like this. I leave it up to them to think about their actions.

i hope my dyno sheet when i take my bike for a dyno comes out at 33bhp im a bit sceptical because of the mods

Just smile sweetly at the dyno operator and tell them what reading you want, they'll get it for you

lol i have the 33bhp chip but with exhaust velocity stacks, filter and cut snorkle it could just push over 33bhp

at the same time i want the full power ecu tuned lol
