Hello

hey bro. i’m not 100% sure but i think the rules on A2 restrictions changed in the past year or two and you can only restrict a bike that comes with less than 94hp. like i said not entirely sure so it’s worth checking out to be safe

So had a look for this and as usual with UK law, the A2 guidelines are misleading and open to interpretation -

• it dosent seem to state where the HP/BHP is measured, at the crank(95) or rear wheel(84). If you ignore HP/BHP figure the law is stated in KW so in this instance that 70KW and the FZS600 69.3KW - so under the bloody limit.
  
• That and there is no legal requirement to have a certificate or documentation to say that the bike has been restricted. At the end of the day it down to the owner/rider to ensure the motorcycle is within the legal limits.
  
• Also DFT approved restriction kits for the FZS600 have been around for years, the FZS600 is STILL listed as an A2 restricted bike on the UK Government's own webpage...!!! - https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...ding-tests (I have attached the CSV from that page).
  
• The kits are available from https://a2restrictors.com/ and for the A2 test the DVSA require that the kit be fitted by recognised motorcycle  mechanic. (so any bloody garage). And then laminate the receipt and keep it under the seat in case a idiot copper pulls you over.
  

So if the rider has fitted the kit and can get insurance then he/she are good to go.
