    I recently bought an Aprilia rs125 ad i need to restrict it to 11kw (for licence and insurance purposes). just wondering how to go about this? i know there are many ways to do this but i have heard or lads restricting them through the ECU but wiring it up ta a little switch to you can turn the restricter on and off..;)? also how do you go about proving to the insurance companys that you have the bike restricted..?

    A1 power restriction is 13 or 14 bhp

    and the rs125 breaks the power to weight restiction of a provisional/restricted A

    Category A provisional licence holders are entitled to drive motorcycles with:

    an engine power output of 25kW or less, or
    a power/weight ratio of 0.16kW/kg or less.

    it might exceed the power/weight but its under 25kW.

    not getting into this restriction malarky again (every second week!)

    but the OP is looking to get it restricted to 11kW, which means he's on about his 'A1' learner permit - so this is all moot
