They are restricted by different amounts according to the different markets they are sold into - there are two different bungs which have different sized holes in them.

The parts book lists them as:

B-Aus-USA .... part no 8134493
I-A-CH-D-DK-GR-F-UK-J-NL-P .... part no 8134399

The spec sheet lists them as 118 BHP - I believe this is unrestricted.

The USA guys say theirs is restricted to about 80BHP or something

Given that we (UK) have the same bung as the French and they have a 100BHP limit, I'd expect that our restricted bikes are probably something like 100 BHP .... though this is just a guess based on my reasoning here.

That is the over-riding concern for them, apparently. He's had to go through this with a couple of vehicles (not motorcycles, admittedly) and that was what the authorities were focussing on.

But provided the paperwork is in order, the French don't really give a flying f**k. Paperwork is their big thing. They'll check the lights and speedo, for sure, but check the airbox for the correct sized bung? I don't think so. That would involve taking the tank off and would be far too much effort...

Mango - that's not a bad idea - show up at 11:30, knowing that ALL French dissappear at 12 for 2 hours. 2:00 they return after a couple of vino's and half hours kip. I have the correct headlight and speedo's no problem. Just put my standard cans back on......

Sound like a Cunning Plan to me...

The answer is to refit the intake restricter and reconnect the ecu restrictor wire but you could disconnect one of the cylinders.......

or buy pegaso
