Kawasaki Er5 restriction question

CaptainR · 09-06-2016 03:49PM #1

Well lads I'm after getting an old ER5 as i have an A2 L permit and i want to practice for my test on my own bike and not a schools.

I was looking at the specs and the claimed bhp is ranging from 48 to 51 according to different websites.

The A2 is for bikes 46 or below and theres restrictor kits for the ER5 to make it 46 bhp on ebay but theyre all English sellers and they claim that the English RSA dont accept dyno read outs. Its a 2004 model im sure some horses have escaped in that time.

Anyone have any experience with this? Just seems like a restrictor kit company wouldnt be the best the most objective.

Cheers

used to be only FI international kits, and factory fitted ones were recognised here.. but that may have changed

Used this manufacturer with no problems. Recognised by RSA.

A close mate of mine got the throttle stop/ dyno & print out method and he was able to get his bike insured no problem but that was a few years ago.
