A2 restriction and model year
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2018 7:49 am
Hi
My son has just bought a GSXR400 - it is declared as a 1993 model, but registered 1996.
By my reckoning (and from what I can find on the internet), the 1993 models were restricted to 53 BHP due to a change in legislation in Japan.
Is there any way of checking from Frame or Engine number that the engine fitted is 1993 onwards? It's likely that it's been changed as the Gixxer is a former track bike.
Looking to get the A2 restrictor kit fitted - it only needs to 'lose' 6 BHP if a genuine 1993 model. Therefore, will the kit designed for a 1990-1992 impact it more than intended? Any body have any experience of this?
Thanks
