Restricting SV650

Hello!
Just passed my A2 bike test (woohoo)!
I've found a SV650 (hopefully picking it up on Saturday) but it will need restricting.
I know you can buy kits to do this; do they include the certificate for insurance purposes? Also are some kits better than others, if so, what would you recommend.
Thanks

What year SV?

For both generations there is either a kit made by FI international, or a suzuki genuine parts one.

The certificate isn't really worth anything, just find an insurer who doesn't want to see one. However, if you buy either kit and have it fitted new then you will get a certificate. You are looking at £150+ for having one fitted to get a worthless certificate. Or just £20 for a secondhand kit...

ecu from suzuki if buying from a suzuki dealer there free i think.

I'm in the process of doing this at the minute, you want a resiricted ECU its a better way of doin it, PM Bluethunder hes selling one and it cheaper at £50 or so

there only free on brand new models!

the buggers stingy aint it ahh second hand one then off ebay or somebody on here would be a good option.

curvy= is like a washer in the carb to reduce fuel input

point=ecu change for restricted is end number 061
or
inlet blade and something else

Wouldnt use FI International in my opinion, sure someone will come along and support that by saying they need kneecapping.
Find second hand ECU replacement, swap it over, and away you go

Think I'm pointy, its a 2006 (55 reg).

A few people have said the insurers dont actually ask for the certificate... if this is the case I'd be happy buying a second hand one. Husband will be able to fit it, no probs.

Thanks for the PM tip! I might know someone who has one but I'm not sure if they were curvy or pointy... thinks I should probably find out!
