Excellent thanks rac3r. All I saw was the 2 washers, don't know if there is a throttle stop screw as well. Guess I'll find out on Friday! |

Bike arrived
Bike is here along with the washers
Now I just got off the phone to Rosso Corso. Nice chap, reasonable prices but he reckons putting these washers back in is a bitch of a job and involves taking the carbs off. 1 hour + for them. I asked about the £30 restriction and he said that was probably for the injected versions which just involves a throttle stop! So much for having a ride on it today or this weekend even! |

Is that it, 2 'penny' washers?
Presumably they go between carb and intake manifold? if so it's not a difficult job to get them in if you're mechanically minded. Although maybe the carbs need messing with afterwards to get it running right afterwards?

I'm seriously shocked by that, a bit steep even if it included fitting. Do they come with relevant legal certification or is it just 2 washers at £90 each?

OP Mine was a 620ie so yeah it was injected. I would have thought the same method would still work though? |

Doesn't include fitting!!! £180 is just for the kit, oh and by the way they only sell to trade so you can't try and save a bit by self fitting Quote:
I'm going to get my £90 washers fitted first though and see how it goes. Problem is it now has aftermarket cans and may have been dyno tuned so it may still be >33bhp after the washers! Hope not. JHP in Coventry offer a good alternative. They use their own parts to restrict then dyno it so you get the run read out as well as a letter. Handy to have although as we know its what power it is that is the only relevance. |

Hmmmm. Sounds like JHP have sussed this out. Fit your "own" penny washers made to same dims as the official ones, thus releasing £180 to spend on fitting and dyno testing. Its a no brainer.
Just to avoid misunderstanding, I'm saying that they are offering a sensible, economic and verified solution here. Dunno what they charge, but sounds worthy of recommendation, to me. |

You could knock those up in the garage from bits of scrap and could get them mass produced for less than a quid...

EDIT before you sell them Dirty, could you measure the inside and outside dimensions and stick them up on here to let others know? don't have to tell you, the inside dimension needs to be 'close' :-) Last edited by Sirc; 03-03-2012 at 11:03 AM.. |

I just found the notes I took when I first spoke to JHP. Restricting the bike will cost £130 all in but that includes the dyno run which is usually £70 alone. |
