Quite honestly, tons of people get away with derestricting their A2 bike, even after crashing etc. I very much doubt anything would happen derestricting a fancy kind of GS that even we here didn't know existed. Especially when the restriction isn't actually part of the terms of the rider's licence.

Getting away with it doesn't make it right. If you have a 33hp licence you cannot ride machines with more power in some countries, it's the law, simple as that.

Many years ago we had a member, Jaywolf. He got caught on an unrestricted bike outside of his license conditions. He was banned for a year and then had his insurance costs loaded for years after.

If you as an individual want to take the chance and knowingly break the law....go right ahead, it's your license, your neck your bike and you that will suffer the consequences if you get caught or involved in an incident. But dont forget other people use the roads too, sensible law abiding ones and it's them I have in mind.

If you cause someone a loss or an injury due to an illegal act relating to the use of a motorcycle on a public road what do you think will happen?

let's take it a step further. If you actually killed someone, say a young child crossing the road while riding illegally what do you think would happen and ,...........what would you say to the family concerned?

I will leave it with you

The bike came with the restriction, presumably so that it would meet the terms of a previous rider's licence. No current-day UK bike licence has a 33 bhp limit.

Although the OP may not be from the UK there's nothing to say that they personally had it restricted, either.

Im not from UK and i have a license to drive any bike that i want. Im just driving this bike a couple of months and then trying to sell it when i got it working right. Then i buy a little bit more powerful bike. Like R1 or GSX-R 750. I just dont have anything to compare it. Even if it was 25kw I think it should go faster or then carb settings are just messed up.

Well next im going to change spark plugs because they are cheap and i have no idea when they are changed. Compression test would be nice to do but i dont have meter for that. Well it wont be too hard to make it myself but lets see. The engine might be just too much ridden. It is also burning some oil so i wouldnt be surprised if pistonrings are worn.
