frozenfrozen wrote: » Probably the mechanics who carried out the work or something like that. Can you see that little metal piece?

frozenfrozen wrote: » Should be that silver thing top right of your photo, turn the throttle and see if thats what is stopping it. If it is then just long screw driver and a magnet to fish it out. Put the screw back in where it came from for safe keeping and jobs done
frozenfrozen wrote: » ya well if you want to do it it's that silver yoke in your picture it will look like this when its out just the little pointy one not the washers
frozenfrozen wrote: » that could be a few things mine was a k3 and I don't remember that there but it could be the tip sensor or a reg/rec or part of an aftermarket alarm on your bike. You could unbolt whatever that black thing is for a minute to gain access. maybe mark the orientation with tipex first incase it is a tip sensor but I think mine was somewhere else like under the pillion seat. you just need a long screw driver, maybe with a bit to give a bit of extra angle on it or one of those bendy extensions. other than that just screw it out and catch the metal piece before it flies off down into your belly pan

Idleater wrote: » Yeah, apologies, the page loaded on page 1 where the ECU was questioned. I saw later the conversation moved on. From my recollection, factory restricted (pointy) sv are ECU restricted. That's what i had (to get the insurance discount). Washers and throttle stops were the non factory methods (in my time anyway). You can easily get to the ECU, under the seat (?) And I think the number on it is easily identified as a restricted one IIRC. If it turns out to be, I'll find my full power one.

He says the tank needs to come up and undo the air box to gain better access to it, and also that little black box needs to be loosened off too. If you want to have a look heres the link https://youtu.be/1tEDkxWGoqQ. Do you reckon the tank needs to come up or would it be possible to do all this through the frame?
frozenfrozen wrote: » how come I had much better access in my picture I was able to get straight on at it but you are looking down at an angle. you might need a bendy extension for yours or just a long screw driver still might get at it
E46Dream wrote: » No idea this is my access herehttps://ibb.co/wh5sjnM There's a little wire with piece of plastic looped into the bracket aswell I assume I can just cut this off its like an anti tamper plastic piece?
