[Timsy]

i want to get a 4 stroke bike that does about 33bhp, or ideal to get restricted to 33bhp, as i only hold a restricted liscence. any recomendations?

No idea particularly, you'd think that there might be a search facility on MCN for such things given the HP limit at that license level.

One thing of note though is that Suzuki do free restriction kits with new bikes.

Just imagine, sitting there at the lights and being beaten by a Scooter as the 33bhp wouldn't be enough!

(Not sure they do them for all bikes somehow )

ER6n with a 33bhp kit?

ZXR400 with restrictor kit, would think should be common enough ?

My brother recently bought a late 90's 600 bandit off some bloke (born again biker type) - didn't properly test drive it when he handed over the cash. Anyway it soon became apparent that it wasn't quite as fast as he was expenting (even if it is his first bike) I took it up the road and it was very slow, just as it got into the power band it would just carry on as normal - no rush of acceeration. Top wack less than a ton.

Obviously he wasn't happy - messed about with the carbs, did all the usual prodding and still the same go slow. A few days later i did a bit of digging on various forums and, no power? - what about restrictors? Took the inlet off and low and behold, 4 washers with small ofsett holes in each of the throttle bodies. Took them out and hey presto.

Amusingly the guy he bought it off was selling it as he wanted more power - a 1200 bandit. The situation seemed pretty bizzare - he'd had the bike for over a year. Rang him up and had no idea about the restrictors. Just assumed that was what they were all like!

Anyway - There's 4 genuine looking restrictor washers in my garage for a 600 bandit if anyone wants them!
