My '06 has 12k on it, and thats been off the road 20 months of that time due to injury then it being written off (although now back in one piece)

My 08 Z750 has 8.5k on it.

yep - my sv is restricted - and maxes out at 105. lol

Mine has indicated between 110 and 115 a number of times, so either my speedo is wrong(er) than everyone elses, or somehow I can get a couple of mph more out of mine than what the majority seem to get.

I would offer to take a picture - but that would be dangerous!

And it's not like you can use the excuse of being tiny

i know 109 is definitely possible, my mates a police biker
so i have no reason to de-restrict mine atm, march isnt too far away to wait for that extra 20mph if your only pulling to 70 there could be a speed restriction which is normally only fitting on bikes/cars with an ecu. other than that i have no ideas why you could only get 70 out your bike tbh

where do u live

maybe someone can come see..

u DID take the air box off and then the carb top to reveal all beneath yea..

Tbh I don't see the actual point of restricting bikes.. yet not cars.... I mean, seriously... I just hate the EU..

I live in sunny hartlepool, took the air box to reveal carbs and even jubilee clip, even though i presume you would be able to see the restrictor washer anyway. not to bothered anyway as the bike is fast enough for me at present but just could do with a little more grunt in higher gears when overtaking on motorways.

To see the restrictor washers you'd have to actually lift the carbs off their ducts and they sit on a small ledge inside the ducts. It does sound restricted. Did you remove the carbs fully from the ducts after loosening the jubilee clips?

not sure josh, i am a bit of a technical spaz when it comes down to mechanics. i took the air box off to reveal the cards, ( i think, basically the twin cyclinders are revealed as in the picts you sent me ) i then removed the jubilee clips on the them. inside you can see a gold thing that you can slide if you push it to reveal a little gold bar thingy running across ( thought this was the carbs). I thought the washer would just be on the top of that. should the washer be in both of these also. Sorry for my ramblings josh but like I said am pretty useless at mechanics of motorbikes. its like explaining a monkey the workings of concorde.

cheers
