indeed sir, my old man told me how gutless the bike was .... how would i remove a restrictor kit ? or is it restricted on a cdi

It will have large washers between the airbox and carbs, inside the rubbers. Just take them out. My ex500 had them when i bought it the bike wouldnt go over 90mph and had no power band. Much nicer when they were out.

the er5 dont go much over 90 at the best of times but will be smoother and a bit quicker getting there unrestricted

If i recall, when i had the carbs off there was no discs spacers, i might leave it alone it runs snd rides okay, the acceration is bit poor from what the old man states ( up and down the private lane seems fine)

Up hill bit sluggish ?

now its had a decent run (providing you have been sitting letting it tick over for ages again) pull a spark plug out and check the colour of it to see how its running it might need a bit of adjusting but you also have to rev them fairly well to get them going if i remember correctly

Usually let it tick over and warm up 10/15 min's. Thank you for that bit of information, i will pull it out Monday/tuesday. Hopefully the wheel will be with us by then, last set of plugs were bit naffed was running rich. I hadn't tuch it since because it was running like a gem.

its no good pulling them after its been sat idling it needs to have hada run so its getting fuel fed into the engine from the main jets not the slow running ones hence giving it a run down the road for the mot or something similar and then check plug colour

Now its time to sell

I have been looking at bandit 600!! Or school boy dream yamaha rd350

why not use the money to pass your test then get the pleasure of riding something instead of getting someone else to ride anything over 125 for you

I was just speaking to my partner about this, just now looks like its going to be the plan.
