I have a XT tenere 600 1984 it is a import and I planned to restrict it after my test to a 33bhp. I cannot restrict it officially because it is not a british bike but I can change the frame to a British frame then it would be classed as a british bike.
I need to know if the XT tenere's parts will fit onto a XT frame and what years are compatiable.
also the engine I will be using is 1984 and the restriction kit offers from 1985 is there a difference in the engines and would it affect it to have a restriction kit in.
Has anyone restricted a XT tenere before?

Re: In need of help
The fuel tank, frame and seat are all different. These things alone are a show stopper and there are a host of other tiny differences that will try your patience.I need to know if the XT tenere's parts will fit onto a XT frame and what years are compatible.
Please explain in more detail why you are obliged to do this.

Re: In need of help
I need to change the frame due to it not being a British bike and the 33bhp restrictor asks for a british frame number. As the Frame is what is restricted not the engine :(

Re: In need of help
Im confused
The restriction kit you talk about, is this for the engine?
And what is the difference in frames? do you need an English frame?

Re: In need of help
The British restriction works by restricting a british frame so the restriction has to be on a british frame and mine sadly isn't. This would be for when I pass my test and it's not looking like I can restrict it. Due to years and not being a British frame so I think I might sell it. I think the restriction is in the carbs, but I need to have a restrictor with certifiate to prove it's restricted

If you restricted your bike in any way (stuffing a cat in the airbox) and then have your bike do a dyno test & printed certificate,
would that not be acceptable?

Re: In need of help
I was told they charge rather alot for the testing, I think £7000 for a company to test your bike. I could be wrong but it's still going to be a unnesscesery cost. :(
Just unfair that it can't be.
