What restriction mode are they offering?
Either? If either, I would reccomend the ECU mode. Easier to change when the time comes, and better mpg. |

yeh either, but recommend (to me as im a 'skint nipper') the cheaper one.
ive read on another thread on here that you dont need the certificate that is supplied when you buy these restrictors first hand, only proof of the bike only having 33hp e.g. a dyno read out. is that true? i am trying to find some official dvla/dsa documentation to prove it. |

No you don't need to send the DVLA anything.. it's not marked on the DVLA database or anything, AFAIK.
APPARENTLY it's "logged" with the insurers (but this is coming from FI international, well enough said)... but i've heard nothing definate of proof... and never had any questions ever so idk |

I shelled out for a brand new ECU (numpty) just buy it second hand if insurers need proof in event of an accident im pretty sure the part number is on the ECU that part number then given to any suzuki dealer will then come up as a restricted ECU on their system i got the cert any my insurers didnt need it when i insured my bike just that i was riding in the terms of my licence was all they said, if you want a certificate theres people on ebay who will ahppily knock you one up.

Let's be very clear about restrictions here. If you have a restricted license and you are riding a unrestricted bike you are riding without a valid license for the vehicle. The boys in blue do not take kindly to people doing that.
It also makes your insurance null & void because you don't have a valid license and all sort of legal repercussions are possible. The certificate of restriction proves to anyone who cares to know, usually insurance & the police, that the bike is limited to 33bhp & that you license if valid for riding said bike. I am not sure if you have to inform the DVLA about power restrictions as their website only states that you must inform them of changes of capacity. Which if you think about it, makes sense. |

Capacity is defined as swept volume. For the bikes, it's for the tax. I could show you a 600cc that makes <33bhp. Or I could show you a 125 making >33bhp, and breaking the lesser known power-mass limit! There is nothing in DVLA literature only that bike shall make <25kW net power and something like 0.16kW/KG (IIRC about the power/mass limit number). FI int. are just a company, they are not officially sanctioned, regulated or empowered to remove all your money for a bit of paper.

In response to the OP: Get a second hand ECU from here. They go for about £50 and take about 5 mins to fit (including time to stop for a brew ![]() Last edited by joshmac; 16-06-09 at 08:40 AM. |
