Good evening all
Been reading through some of the threads and some of you speak of cutting a wire to get the de-restricted mapping. Does this apply to my 99 mille and how do you do it, if its not already been done :love2.
cheers

I have no idea whether your bike requires this. Searching for 'derestrict' showed up this link which has helpful pictures. Badger appears to be the knowledgeable one on here and should know whether you need to do this.

Some reading for now if nothing else :O

I would be 99.9% sure it will be done mate, they were also restricted in the exhaust link pipe, the dealers usually do them before they leave as new bikes, i am pretty sure your bike will be done, but it will do no harm checking it out.:thumbup

Have a look here mate

basically you need to check to see if the airbox restriction plate is removed and binned, check that the wire is removed or snipped and check inside the link pipe for the restrictor of the exhaust if yours is still a standard can, i bet it's all been done though:thumbup

The restrictions mentioned by Badger are the same for all 1998 to 2003 RSV Mille's. These restrictions limit rear wheel horse power to around 100. Once these derestrictions have been carried out, BHP output is increase to around 115 to 118 Bhp.

ive just spoken with the seller of my bike (due to be collected tomorrow wahoo!!) and he says the bike is still restrcited, but he said there is an easier way to deresrict without having to do all the other stuff.

He said you can just remove the filters from the air intakes at the fron of the bike. This sounds like a dumb idea to me, has anyone else heard of this??

EDIT - JUST FOUND A BRILLIANT LINK FOR DERESTRCITING YOUR BIKE http://mkro.chez-alice.fr/FalcoPage/Debridage/Aprilia-RSV1000-De-Restrict.htm

Click to expand...

Is he for real:confused

There is no such thing, if he said that, i would be doubtful whether he knew if it was restricted or not mate, don't get hung up about it, the job is 10mins worth of checking, check the wire is cut, lift the tank check the airbox restrictor has been removed, if it has an aftermarket can then it is not restricted in the exhaust, simple as that:thumbup

cheers Badger. The bike is definately still restricted - the guy im buying the bike from is a old fella who clearly hasnt used the bike properly - only 5700 miles and its a 01 model!! it comes with a spare standard exhaust, as the current one has a gate graze on ti which is perfect, ill the newer can deresricted and then jobs a good'n!
