Inlet Restrictors

Fitted to VFR by the boy and myself.

Not too bad a job actually, refitting the carb assembly was prolly the
fiddliest bit.

I suppose I'll have to give it a run tomorrow to make sure all is okay.

The most expensive washers you'll ever buy!

 

Quite

We got 'em off ebay for a tenner each.

FFS.

The boy reckons he could manufacture them at work on the lathe,
although it would be a very wasteful use of stainless steel rod.

I guess we now need to dyno the bike to prove it's BHP in case the
insco ask.

I thought they were meant to be fitted by a dealer who then gave you a
certificate or some such? Either way, it would be naughty to take them off
as soon as you had the proof of fitting....

 

A wedding ring is the most expensive washer you'll ever buy.

 

Iridium says...

You don't need a fitting certificate, that was just a ploy by F1
International, who make and sell these kits, to make a shitload of money
from unsuspecting new riders and anyone who bought them secondhand. The
bastards should be strung up for that.

All you need is a dyno printout to show your insco.

Ah I stand corrected.

 

I thought that was the wife?

 

Apparently ebike insco don't even want to see that.
We will however be visiting Road and Track to get the dyno run sorted,
and have photographed the restrictors in situ (just in case like)

 

Just make sure they're fitted after the accident.

Had a long and interesting discussion with an insco inspection engineer a
few years ago who suggested "tongue in cheek" that they should build tanks
out of the same stuff as OEM sportsbike exhaust cans, as every time he was
called-in to inspect a bike, battered from end-to-end with every panel
smashed and the forks bent etc, the OEM can were totally unmarked - amazing
init!

 

They won't be coming out until the official expiry date (is this 2
years after passing test, or when he's 21?)

He's pretty cool about it, which is helpful too.

Not like it will make any difference whilst he's will waving outside
the Spar shop.

 

That's like 'Fire at Will', is it?

Poor old Will.

 

Where there's a Will

 

Heh, cockmastering at the convenience store

Hmm. I give it about 2 months.

I "wasn't going to ride the 250 until I'm 17" and that resolution lasted
about 2 weeks. Fortunately my parents seemed incapable of stopping me
doing most things I wanted; thank heavens for demanding jobs.

 

There's a Wii?

 

There's a lot of waving about with one of those.

 

Isn't this where we came in?

Well done.

 

there's a lawyer getting richer.
