HI THERE. ur in a grey area there . are you in uk [ M.O.T.] Or portugal. O.G.ON A BIKE. Can you shed any light on this ?????
October 17, 200816 yr Author HI THERE. ur in a grey area there . are you in uk [ M.O.T.] Or portugal. O.G.ON A BIKE. Can you shed any light on this ????? i am in south london..... and the bike would be a yamaha dtr125 i just dont kow if it would pass the mot......
October 17, 200816 yr Moderator HI THERE. ur in a grey area there . are you in uk [ M.O.T.] Or portugal. O.G.ON A BIKE. Can you shed any light on this ????? Dont rightly know myself either but i would think that if in uk then unless you pass your test you cannot de restrict it because learners have to be on 12 BHP (Or whatever) and if in Portugal i dont know it depends what learners use there...dont know...Not my strong point, Goff's good with learner issues i think

October 17, 200816 yr no but assuiming that i can ride any size cc motorbike or that i have a a2 license and i am within the 2 year restriction... will the bike pass the mot or will i get in trouble because the bike is derestricted???? The power output is not a factor in the MoT. If it makes 4hp or or 40hp, it makes no difference to the tester - he has no means of testing it. IF your bike is mechanically sound and meets emissions regulations for that year, it will pass. You will not get into trouble with the MoT tester for having a derestricted bike. The bike is being tested, not the rider. You may get into trouble with the polis - if you do not have the correct license to ride a bike with that BHP or with your insurance company - if you do not tell them about any changes made to the bike.
October 17, 200816 yr no but assuiming that i can ride any size cc motorbike or that i have a a2 license and i am within the 2 year restriction... will the bike pass the mot or will i get in trouble because the bike is derestricted???? HI / I CANT SEE how they will be able to tell its been de-RST. They never test drive the bikes.
October 17, 200816 yr Author HI / I CANT SEE how they will be able to tell its been de-RST. They never test drive the bikes. so will anyone ever find out??? if some one finds out is there any fines??? e.t.c???
October 17, 200816 yr so will anyone ever find out??? if some one finds out is there any fines??? e.t.c??? naw plead ignorant/ i kno a guy who ran a RD.400 ENGINE in a RD 250 Settup . police are not that clued up. unless someone BLABS there gob
October 17, 200816 yr so will anyone ever find out??? if some one finds out is there any fines??? e.t.c??? depends WHO finds out and under WHAT circumstances. If you have an accident and the insurance company properly examine the bike, find out it's been derestricted and you havn't told them, they will refuse to pay out. If the polis think you were going faster than that bike ought to, they may take it away for investigation, and may prosecute you if you don't have the correct license. If you sell the bike to a learner as suitable for them, when it isn't, they may take you to court for misrepresentation. It's not that simple. It's also rarely worth the effort.

October 20, 200816 yr As above, really. If you have the right licence, you can ride up to 33BHP. You just have to tell the insurance company that it's de-restricted. Much better to get a big bike, though!!!
October 20, 200816 yr your bike will pass a mot fine as long as it is road worthy it can go as fast as it wants and will still pass provided it is worthy of the road
October 20, 200816 yr Dont rightly know myself either but i would think that if in uk then unless you pass your test you cannot de restrict it because learners have to be on 12 BHP (Or whatever) and if in Portugal i dont know it depends what learners use there...dont know...Not my strong point, Goff's good with learner issues i think 12bhp my yzfr125 is pumping out 15bhp from new lol
October 20, 200816 yr Moderator i kno a guy who ran a RD.400 ENGINE in a RD 250 Settup . police are not that clued up. unless someone BLABS there gob It's also rarely worth the effort. I used to ride with a bloke that got the 400 lump in a 125dx, that WAS worth the effort whooooweee
October 22, 200816 yr Moderator Seen a RD400 shoehorned into a FS1E it was on ebay recently. also a Cagiva mito with a CR500 mx engine in it merv
October 22, 200816 yr Seen a RD400 shoehorned into a FS1E it was on ebay recently. also a Cagiva mito with a CR500 mx engine in it merv yes, it's all been done but it's rarely worth the effort, I never said never. Unless you are going to do something mental and fun like a CR lump, just futzing with a 125 isn't worth it. y'have to ask, how long did it take to get the CR lump in the mito? how much fabrication was involved? Uprating the brakes/suspension/frame, was that done so it wouldn't be a deathtrap? how much did it cost? I'm not a naysayer, I'm all in favour of building things for the sheer entertainment value of it! It's just briefly worth thinking "before I get the angle grinder out, is what I'm about to embark on going to have been worth the blood sweat & tears by the time it's done, or will I have knackered at least one perfectly good motorcycle to no avail?" if the answer is "yes, it'll be teh awesum!!" then away y'go. If the answer is "hmmm, maybe I should just buy a faster / shinyer / wider bike from gumtree and go down the pub with the time and money saved..."
October 23, 200816 yr Moderator Dunno what it took to get the engine in the mito cos it was bought it that way needing fettling merv
