Throttle restriction needed?

You'd need a dyno to find out I think. I'm going to say it's probably not legal but someone might chime in with more info.

But it wouldnt effect the bhp? Cos it still revs put in 1,2,3 and 4 :S

Oh dear, what basic mechanics don't you understand?

The washers limit the air/fuel flow into the cylinders, the throttle stop limits the amount of fuel that can be in that mix.

Yeah but it still gunna have same fuel in engine at 11,000rpm wether in 2nd with half throttle or 5th woth full throttle?

but to rev out in 5th it would be doing 120+ which it can't. You need horsepower to do work.

Very simply and not completely accurately put as there are many factors..

Your bike cant attain the speed it needs to be travelling to rev out.

speed = air resistance.

Overcoming air resistance = work

horsepower = how much work the engine can do.

You cannot go faster because the air resistance cannot be overcome.

You need more power!

Like i said earlier though i not bothered about top end, i want to accelerate quick, the throttle stop effecting its 0-60 time cos i cant go full throttle

But you can rev to redline at half throttle in low gears on most bikes. Full throttle gives you more power and you get there quicker. You want to hit redline faster in lower gears, I get that, but you need more power to do so.

Yeah i know it wont go as quick as normal because i aint got 70bhp but there is a little more in it otherwise they wouldnt put the stop on? Im just thinking they done it to make ya ride safer? And that there inst actually a legal requirement for it

Just face it that your on a restricted bike for 2 years and be happy to have the privilege of riding Jesus... I've done my time and everyone else is in the same boat. Think yourself lucky your not doing the new licence.

Why would they put the stop in to make it under 33bhp? There is no more in it until you're over the power limit. Having less power wont make you ride safer anyway. Slower yes, safer no.
