I await being corrected on this but washers are only used for the curvy's (carb'd model). Pointies (FI) use a re-mapped ECU.

Thanks for your replies. Yeah, i know i am not allowed to ride any more than a 125. I have my first lesson on Saturday, I wont be buying the bike till i pass.

I think my mind is pretty made up with regards to the bike i am after. Its just finding the right one

Dont get an ECU from a stealership, I got one from my sv650s 2003 and I will NOT be using it ever. Dont know how you guys cope. I bought my bike from a restricted teenage rider who had been banned never the less for drink riding, just what he deserves. I paid his finance off and he walked away with nothing. Lesson learnt.

ECU sitting in garage, plug in job, 2 minutes.

how should i go about restricting it? Is it a metal plate in the card or is it all done by the ECU?

Depends which SV you buy, IIRC a 99 - 02 Curvey SV needs restricting by putting some washers into the Carbs. A K3 onwards or pointy SV needs the ECU changing for a restricted one.

ive only had my full licence 2 weeks, so ive only been riding my sv 2 weeks, she cost me £900 as she needed some tlc, £200 and she was ready to be used.Not bad for a 2000 w reg curvy.
lover her to pieces, cracking bike and definatly a good choice for your first big bike.
