Road bike for Novice

Hey Baz, the trouble with removing the restricter is that the bike can never again be registered as LAMS approved (even if you re-restrict it) which reduces their resale value because they are no longer a LAMS bike. Someone with a bit of electrical knowlege could get around it I'm sure, but if a bike shop does it you are rooted.

According to the local Hyosung dealer in Albury, he says there are NO "restrictors" on the Hyosung. It is simply an adjustment to the throttle cable to stop full throttle being possible. He told me he is sick of people who come in with all these stories of restrictors/removing baffles stories etc. And the internet is full of them. According to the Hyosung dealer in Albury, to "de-restrict" a "P Plate compliant Hyosung 650", once the paperwork is in order, all he needs to do is take out he spacer on the cable stop to allow full openning of the throttle, and it is just as simple to put it back in. You could do it yourself, and no-one would be the wiser.

It's hard to believe - for 2 reasons
First - LAMS is power restrictions BHP needs to be as per the requirement
Second - cable restriction, won't it effect the over all power delivery - RPM - VS the power etc


I think the dealer has the story wrong...
