33BHP restrictor prices.

What I don't get though is this whole Dyno printout/certificate thing.
If it's injected surely a photo of the ECU in place with the part number visible (or a quick inspection/phone call by plod) and jobs done. If there's an accident, then it can be picked up in minutes. It gets on my t**s when you are fully legit, then have to pay someone to show you are. It's the whole guilty until proven innocent again...jst because a bunch a underwriters don't fully understand what it is they are taking on to insure.

The police paid for the dyno run.

Aye but that's different case to an insurer asking for "proof" (lol) of restriction

If they want proof whats the problem with providing it?.

The fact that you're expected to pay for a dyno run doing or a dodgy certificate off ebay. Or are you doing it for free for 33bhp'ers

Of course you should have checked that your insurer wasn't run by spackers before taking out the policy but that's not the point.

Why would there be an expectation that it shouldnt cost anything, my mortage isnt free..wish it was!.

IMHO I dont agree with the law, but when someone buys a bike and is on a 33BHP restriction its certainly to be expected that at some point someone may ask for proof. Why would insurers not ask?. If you were insuring someone for risk would you ask?.

We have bought my Step Son a DT50 (his choice, not ours. I need a step ladder to get on it!) for his sixteenth birthday next March and it seems to be a lovely bike. However, my restriction is up just after his birthday, so as I go full power, I have a family restrictor taking it's place!

Anyway the lad has taste, "don't sell your ECU Jayne," he said, "I want an SV650 as soon as I am old enough!"

Guess that one goes into storage then, any one got a K3 they would like to swap for a DT 50 in about two years?

Because it's a bullsh*t law that needlessly restricts the freedom of those likely to have the least income.

Take any other term on the insurance, do they ask for your licence (rarely), do they ask for MOT (never), do they ask for a certificate of standard-ness (nope).

Why should they ask? Everything else they take on trust and if it is later found to be lacking they act on it. Not all of them ask and as we see, repeatedly, the (BS...) paperwork is NO indication what the bike is actually putting out.

I don't see what it has to do with a mortgage, you chose to buy the house, but you can't choose when you're born.
