Hi to everyone, I'm new to the Yamaha Owners Club and this is my first topic listing, fingers crossed it all goes well. I have to get a restricter removed from my XVS650 in the next few months, if I remove it myself will the bike need an engine re-tune.

Hi there,

It's all a bit hit and miss really it really depends on where the restricter is, wether it is on the inlet side or in the exhaust side. either way you can remove it and your bike might run better without any mods at all or you may need to upjet your carbs ! its all a bit trail and error really because all bikes run slightly differently and what works on one wont always work the same on another?

Hi thanks for the info, I will check what type of restricter is fitted the weekend.

Ian.
