Quicky question on restriction - advice needed.

i asked my dealer fit the one i brought off ebay and they kicked up a right fuss, just stay well away, a really simple job to do, and like fallen angel says, a dyno for £30 is more than enough rather than £*** they'll charge for fitting it, which i dont think they will

I doubt they'll ask for a certificate, or a dyno..

Now that is ****ing cool... What licence do you have though?....

Love ur name too! haha.

I love how this thread is kicking up a lot of response. Yeah, don't ask them if they require a cert... If they do, they'll ask you. Mine haven't asked me. And if they threaten to cancel the policy, needing proof, just do what fallenangel said, and get a dyno printout showing that it's max power is 33bhp or close to that.

And as I and others have already said, its so easy to fit the 33BHP ecu.

i've got a restricted licence, my dads TL has a rev limited on it so im good for riding that aswel, although it never goes on :P

to be fair though with the mod ive got on my SV it really shows what a good bike the SV is for being restricted, you only notice the differecne above about 5000-6000rpm and about 80-85mph.

TBH if they require a dyno could get that no probs without even taking the bike down, i used to work in a shop with a dyno, sure he would do me a 'favour'!!!

There you go. Sorted!

You just saved how much?....

£50 for the ECU opposed to like £300 ish?

Fitted yourself, free dyno run and or printout...

£250 to spend/save on something else!

another thing to say how good the SV is restricted, against a bandit 600 round town and country lanes today, i absoulutly killed it

killed what a bandit.

Hehehe thats good to know!

yea its an older carbed bandit but the high revving in-line 4 were no match for the low end torque of the sv
