Restriction, which one?

Hi Folks,

Ok managed to sell the YZF and picked up a fab 2007 SV650 K6 ... 6000 miles on the clock, perfect .... and just for a few pounds more than the 125 YZF

However, I am on a restricted Lice for 2 years and need a restrictor for this bike, can someone tell me what the best one is too get and how to get it cert etc.... I have driven the bike without and it pulls like a train and I guess am no looking forward to it, though am no wanting in trouble...

My insurance company never asked anything when I transfered the insurance, guess they wouldnt though!

If anyone is selling one drop me a mail please,

Cheers, Steph

Just find a second hand 33BHP ECU, they usually go on here for around £40-£50.
Don't bother with a cert insurance might try to pressure you in the event of a claim, like they did with me, but after a load of abuse and forwarded some articles that say its not a legal requirement they backed off.

Make sure you get the right 33BHP ECU. The 2003-2006 are the same. The 2007-2011 ones are different as the bike had 4 spark plugs on those years.

And dont remove it early. We had to dyno a bike here recently for the police that had been involved in an accident and the rider had removed the 33bhp ecu and put the stock one back on. I suspect they will be in alot of trouble now.

Hi thanks for the answers, do you know where I can buy a new ECU 33BHP from online? How much are they new?

Cheers, Steph

Expensive!. Suzuki 33BHP ECU's are £698 or free with a new bike. Id go with the secondhand route if you can find one for about £50 ish which is normal used going rate.

FI International offer an alternative cheaper new kit for your bike at £172.99 and its a throttle stop (still expensive for what it is mind), so the bike effectivly stays un-restricted but you cant open the throttle more than a pre-set amount, therefore making only 33bhp or less on a dyno.

The guys getting his dyno by the police would have a ban as it voids insurance and techincially your riding without a License? 6 points for driving without insurance and dunno how many for the other??

Strange my insurance company made a big deal about having the cert!!

The certificate is worthless. Just proves it was done once. It's jut another thing that they do to make it more difficult for you. Maybe they don't want your business.

I got a restrictor for my K3 on E-Bay and it cost me less than twenty quid I seem to recall. Trawl through the classified section here and then E-Bay. If you look hard enough, you can usually find one. My restriction comes off next April, but doubtful I will sell the restrictor because it is useful if I sell the bike.

Cheers,
Jayne
