rev limiter

does any1 no where i can get a rev limiter for a gilera 172 so it will be restricted to 30mph when i put it on for the busys

 

Yes, it's called a "throttle"! but if your old enough or have a licence it 's not a problem.

 

yes i can limit the revs by the throttle but when the police use i dont think there guna want to limit it with the throttle

 

Get a restrictor where when ever you switch ignition on you pull brake lever in a code an itll let it go max speeed or if you dont put in the code it only does 30

 

thats what i want but have no idea where to get one

 

Type in 'limiter' on pedparts, there's two;

A cheap one with a hidden switch, and an expensive one with the brake lever code. If you do get one, you can't turn it on/off with the ignition on or it will damage the CDI.

 

just what i needed

 

If your trying to pass off a 172 as a 50, good luck. Most cops if they stop you to check your ped over will do a check on the registration and check the frame and engine number. Mismatched numbers will send them on a feeding frenzy and they will probably suss that it is not a 50cc , result bye bye bike.

 

thats why i want a restistor as long as it doesent go over 30mph they cant do anything

 

If it's more than 50cc it's not a moped and the police can do a 16 year old for no licence, and no insurance. they will also seize the bike.

 

but

they cant tell its a 172 if it only does 30mph

 

They will if they check the frame and engine numbers.

 

i will get an engineer to take of the old numbers and change them to the new ones

 

I hope he's good. just be careful cos youre the one who could end up in the shit if it goes tits up.
Not all feds are brain dead, I was pulled by one the other week (cos my mate rides like he's on a deathwish)
and he used to ride scoots and knew a hell of a lot about them. Theres a tuned Aerox 100 (120) on fleebay at the moment which is registered as a 50, it's aircooled and beside being a pile of poo, whose he kidding.

 

I have been reading around and it says police can only do me if they dont match not if there not there

 

If there are no numbers visible they will suspect that the bike is stolen and take it for forensic examination.
they put some acid on the frame and engine and it exposes the numbers. Apparently even though the numbers may have been filed off, when they were stamped the metal is sort of bruised and the acid reveals this.

 

There will be frame numbers and they cannot do that cos if u tell dvla they tell you to remove them

 

Best of luck.

 

I'm with Mr Bizzle on this one, wait untill your old enough to ride a 172 and be legal!
