Welcome to the site.

The curvy SV has 2 types of restrictor kit for it.

1 The genuine suzuki article, these are a set of carb slides which have a hole in them to stop them being raised all the way by vacuum like normal.

2 The FI international kit, these are a pair of washers which sit underneath the carbs and restrict airflow that way.


Most bike garages will be able to sort something out.

Cost, probably a lot.


A lot of people just get some secondhand restrictors and fit them themselves.

Hey Guys im new to the site too

Just had mine restricted by a garage not far from me (almost every bike garage can do them)

they usually use FI kits but i dont think there much difference in price so usually they cost

£130 ish + 1hr (£45) ish labour


You are usually paying for the paper to give your insurance to prove it is restricted

130 quid for 4p worth of washers. What a set of c###s

You can always study the FI international site, find the name of the company they import from (german company, washers are 25kW) and buy direct from them, costs about ?70-80 from what I remember.

When I get the washers out of my old carbs, I'll measure them up for you and seriously, just go down to a hardware store and get some, get the garage to sign a bit of paper saying it's restricted, post to insurers, job's a goodun.
