Needing 33bhp restrictor for Curvy!

If you are that way inclined, a search on ebay will reveal firms who will gladly produce you a certificate

I asked some colleuges about that exaxt thing, well no one not exactly that you need one, but if you have one a copy then keep it under your seat. However if you pulled for going warp 9 I would suggest you will have bigger things to worry about.

They won't be worth the paper they're printed on, let alone the £30 odd that they charge (well that's what it was in June last year).

Fitting's easy enough (even easier if you've got Yorkie_Chris topped up on tea and biscuits! )

Hinge the tank up (remove bolts at the front)
Remove the airbox
Loosen the jubilee clips holding the carbs on and pull the carbs out of their boots.
Pop the washers into the gap between where the carbs sit and the manifold (I think that's what it's called)
Put everything back together and voila!

Dont go through FI international.
****ing over priced ****e.
Made that mistake twice now.

If you've got a pointy then the 33bhp ECU is the best way to go, but the OP has a curvy


Use an FI international kit, but don't get it from them!
They're easier to fit than Suzuki's carb sliders and do the same job
The £150 odd you pay is for the certificate, which isn't required by law. Well it's a massive grey area at least

My problem with FI international is that on other bikes they will create MASSIVE running problems, when a 7 year old could think of a way to restrict it without fouling the motor. F##king incompetents as well as robbers.

Did I mention they're a bunch of w4nkers?

Nah mate, that's the first time I've ever heard you say that!

Even on other carbed bikes?
Why don't they cause the curvy SV to run with mahoosive problems?

Because the carbed bike is totally different, with the washers in place it's like having the throttle partially closed, so the sliders open by the same amount as if you'd used 33bhp worth of right hand. Giving the same fuel-air mixture as normal. No problems...

HOWEVER, do the same thing to an injected bike and the injection will dump in the same amount of fuel. Making bike run sloppy rich, giving it bad power delivery and fuel economy. Fouling up the plugs etc etc...

Yeah I knew it made injected bikes run like $hite, but I assume other carbed bikes with run A-Okay right?

With CV carbs the washer method of restriction is fine. (most carbs on stockers)

With slide carbs there may be some serious wierdness.
