purely out of interest and with no spannering intention whatsoever,

what do the restrictors look like?

If you'd used the search function, you would have known already :)

The restrictors on the B4 (the early ones, at least, probably all) are four discs that sits (glued, or something) under the black cover on top of each carb. There they are restricting the vacuum controlled plastic slider thingy from going all the way up.

Looks like they could "fall out" *wink*wink* pretty easily.

Mine "fell out" pretty fast... :)

how big a difference does it make if they do 'fall out'?

Erikkt · « **Reply #7 on:** June 06, 2006, 04:04:53 PM »

in theory, 34hp restricted, and 59(?) unrestricted, so it's quite the difference....

i need to source a set pretty quickly. Is anyone in england selling a set? ALso are the carbs the same in the GSXR 400 and the B4 so technically you could use the same carbs as the GSXR 400??

would sell u mine, but will need them for mot's etc,

JackBlack · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2006, 06:34:28 AM »

why'd you need em for mot's they don't check the carbs and they don't make sure the bikes restricted. They just check that it's road worthy

Maybe someone can just loan you a set then?

JackBlack · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:01:59 AM »

I need a set in my bike because I'm still on my restricted license. I was told that it was restricted but it turns out it's not.

Judging from some of the posts here, there are others that are still on restricted licenses and don't seem to mind their restrictors "fell out."
I'm not a subject of the Queen, but from what I gather from UK posts, no one is going to make you prove the bike is still restricted.

I don't think you have to worry... start worrying when you've hit something and injured people and they call the police

Otherwise, they wouldn't check it.
