Can you ECU restrict a curvy?
 
Simple question, can you ECU restrict a curvy? Know next to nothing about SVs.. do curvys even have an ECU?

Cheers!

No. It's got a carburetor rather than fuel injection so doesn't have an ecu. I think.....

No. The ECU just controls spark and can't be restricted.

On the curvy you use washers or restricted carb sliders

Yep l3nny your right . Takes 5 mins to install carb washers .

Cheers all, that's what I thought. As a novice, how easy would it be to install washers myself?

Done basic things before such as spark plugs/ignition coils/oil changes etc on a car, but that's about the extent of my 'mechanical' knowledge :D

1: Side infill black vent things
2: bolts to seat out
3: seat off
4:2 bolts at front holding tank down undo them
5: undo tank near battery . Unplug connections to tank
6: remove airbox
7: undo bolt to loosen carbs . 1 is hard to find . Lift carbs .
8: place washers in slots. And carbs back on :)
And go back to putting it together . Make sure you put airbox on right . And put the hose in the bottom of tank . I missed mine and got about 40 miles to a tenner lmao . Plugged it in and all was well .
Any one would like to update this then feel free . Just a quick guide

Re: Can you ECU restrict a curvy?
 
If you get the certificate you'll have to get a garage to fit . Unless you fill it out and stamp it
