Aye but what counts as a power increasing mod? In theory a PC3 doesnt count as a Power increasing mod but a make the bike run right mod.

Anything which increases the power by 5%.

Fitting a full system, or some tank raisers. "they only added 1bhp, honest, it was a strong motor before" ... but drop a yoshi TLR engine in there and they might say something...
