Yes it's restricted by a plate on the the throttle body which is a big pain!!!Are you guys like the UK where the bike will only go like 90 or something cause its restricted?
hey man in australia restriction on some bikes are due to the reason with the licencing system that prohibits the rider from having a powerful bikeok so I don't completely understand so forgive any stupid questions. Our bikes will do about 135 mph (217 kph) so yours will only do say 144 kph?
What does that mean for bigger bikes, do they sell like 750 or 1000cc there? if so what would be the point of getting one. Hell you might as well get a ninja 300 right?
so in other words once you have gotten your unrestricted license you take it back to the dealer and say take this crap off? is that correct? i bet it must really hurt the the sales of bigger bikes over thereIntentions are good. it's meant to keep inexperienced riders from hurting themselves... but, it's time/age based, not experiece based.... as in, you have to wait xxx months to move up... not test your experience... so, a flawed system imho.... I know people who have been riding for "years" who have no business riding... and others who have been riding for months who can control themselves...
a good idea... but flawed... again imho
Hey there mateoh sweet as!!!!
anyone had it done yet? what am i expecting more mid/top end .... obviously bottom end still ganna be same same right? correct me if im wrong.
Hey there mate
I have done the de-restrict mod on my FZ6R, upon viewing the plate that is in place from the factory, it has a tab that limits the amount of movement the throttle cam/sprocket can do, you could simply cut it back only about 10~15mm because the plate also acts as a stop. I didn't want to go down this route as I'd like to be able to revert it back once it's time to move it on, this said your best bet is to either make up a plate, but to get this done correctly you really need a profile to be laser cut and then folded on a brake, because part of the plate has a 90deg bend which is what holds the pull/push throttle cables. The other option (which is what I did), was to purchase the de-restricted plate from Restart.
Power wise mid range and top end has a noticeable increase, the bike is definitely quicker but it's not like a crazy scary fast, you would have to be nudging the throttle pretty hard in 1st or 2nd gear to get the front wheel up. The bike also has a slightly different tone up in the rev range, might be because more air is being past through the throttle butterflies??? Oh and also before I forget, a mate of mine mentioned that the bike would benefit from a quarter turn throttle tube on the handlebar because now that it's de-restricted it needs quite a bit of movement to accelerate, I had a chat with a bloke who'd done it on his FZ6R and said that an R1 throttle tube works perfect, so that is what I'll be looking at doing next.
None the less it is a mod which is definitely worth it, once and only when you're off you R period and have you full license and experience, also you have to have lots of self control because it definitely is that much quicker, each to their own but please be very careful with this mod...
Ps: I'll try see if I can upload a photo of the original plate just to give ppl more of an idea of what it's like and show that it's not as simple to de-restrict as ppl first think.
Pretty certain regarding registering is upmost possible again. Many have done so without any problems . But yes you are right where the situation involves the insurance companies then see you bye. All in all just just ride safe and don't attract yourself to the authorities and should be sweet.In Australia it is actually experienced based. Assuming you ride frequently between applications.
Basically ( for Sydney) you have a learners permit for 3 months then are eligible to upgrade. You need to pass a very easy course and on road assessment then can apply for provisional 1. Then after a year you you get your p2. P2 for two years then your open licence. There is an exception that if you have your open car licence and are over 25 you skip P2.
The whole time you are restricted to bikes under a certain power to weight ratio.
New laws in Sydney are that once a bike has been derestricted, it can never be registered as rerestricted. Actually makes a restricted bike ( like ours of th ninja 650 or Suzuki 650) more valuable.
Most people selling it restricted then upgrade for that resale value. Also get caught with a derestricted bike and it's a huge fine and loss of licence. Also voids your insurance in full. If you get caught, guess what, because the bike has been derestricted you can't ride it.
This is the definition of an age/time based system and nothing to do with experience...In Australia it is actually experienced based. Assuming you ride frequently between applications.
