I am going to do some digging into this subject. As it keeps coming up time after time.
Watch this space.
Very expensive not to be legal.

I have sent mails to
Kent traffic police
VOSA
and the DSA
we might just get an answer to shed more light on this
But not for long , as from 2013 there will be 3 if not 4 sizes of bike to take your test on at different ages and the restricted license will not evolve into a full one.
learn to ride at 17 you will have to take 3 bike tests before a full license is held.
the training industry are pushing for trainers to sign off students at some of the stages instead of lots of tests
we shall see what happens
either way 2012 will be a busy year for me as people try to get there license done before the changes. just like before the test changed to the 2 part we have now, 35,000 miles later and only 6 days off between February and September that year.
I'm getting to old for all this, a nice soft office job is what i need.

Super quick response from Kent Traffic Police:
Dear Mr Bray
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the restrictions to a motorcycle.
The restriction A2 is no longer used and has been replaced by A*(Star). This is the category that I think now applies to your question.
You cannot do it yourself, it must be carried out by an approved dealer or centre and certified, a plate must also be affixed to the vehicle in a prominent place.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Paul

Over here on our side of the channel, it's also not legal to ride a >25 kw motorbike with a <25 kw licence.
You can do all you want to your bike, but unless it's officially registered by our national vehicle registration authority, it's absolutely useless.
Any "home-made-kit" can be assessed by the authority themselves (they test it).
Or an official kit from a motorbike manufacturer can be installed by an authorized dealer.

GvS: I agree with you, but here there are some myths about as well....people just installing it themselves and getting a printout from a dynorun.......sending a copy of this to their insurance and assuming they're insured.
I'm not so sure if they are...

the training industry are pushing for trainers to sign off students at some of the stages instead of lots of tests I'd support this several forum members already know of my aspirations to fly; I'm a glider pilot (early solo) and my instructors sign off my abilities every time I fly. When I'm good enough for the conditions and circuits in force on the day; I get to go on my own. As I improve, the checks get less frequent, but always only by club instructor (not instructor, not examiner). At an advanced level I will have to pass an objective assessment by an external instructor, but I think the only time I need to be examined is when I elect to go for an instructor qualification myself. Instructors see an awful lot more of a trainee than an examiner does. It allows a more subjective view of abilities. Provided the instructor knows they take a responsibility for the actions and consequences of the rider, I don't see why this shouldn't work. My gliding instructors let me take a £100k piece of kit 2000 feet (or more if I can get higher) in the air, fly over busy roads and housing estates and then if all goes well, bring it to earth for a controlled crash (better known as a Landing). I'd suggest the risks and liabilities are at least as high as riding a motorbike on an open road. |

Hello Everybody,
I have a Honda ... and I want restore the engine power to 44kW (top power for this type of engine). I have removed the restrictors from the intake. Do I need to modify anything else e.g. ICU, camshaft ?
many thanks beforehand

Hi tyc,
Nope, the restriction was done only on the carbs inlet. (as far as I know)
You might want to check the valve settings / carbs balance, but that's mostly just routine maintenance then directly related.
Be sure to notify the insurer though, as they might still think it's restricted....

I'm pretty sure that if the law specifically states that certificates/FI kits/etc. are required, somebody, somewhere would have quoted the law on the matter. However, I have never seen such a thing. I have however seen what the law does state and that is 'up to 33bhp'. How a rider ends up at or below 33bhp isn't specified. So, I fitted my own restrictors, told my insurance company, they were fine without a certificate, i know that in the event of the police being interested, a certificate wouldn't wash anyway. I suspect the issue may get much clearer with the new tiered test regs coming in. Which makes me glad I've already passed my test.  |

If you went up to 188 km/h it's not restricted ;D THat's a nice looking bike you have there No insurance? Hmmmm be careful then. And make sure you get some insurance (temporary if needed) when going abroad (western europe) as those countries are very strict about it. The carburettors on the Revere 600 and the NTV 650 are different. Mainland Europe had a Revere 650, which is pretty much identical to the NTV 650 apart from some cosmetics To see the difference: Look at the type plate on the side PC22 = Revere 600 RC33 = NTV 650 (Revere) |
