Some 125cc motorcycles need to have a Restriction Certificate if they are to be eligible for test. Principally this affects the Aprilla RS125 and the Honda NS125-R.
The Restriction Certificate will need to be presented to the examiner at the time of the test. The Restriction Certificate should have been given to you at the time of purchasing the bike, but is often over looked. An official dealer of your make of motorcycle should be able to provide you with one.
FAQ
1/. Why do I need a Restriction Certificate?
It proves to the examiner that your motorcycle does not produce more than 14.5bhp, and is therefore legal for the test. Some motorcycles are easily de-restricted, but in doing so invalidate the licence of the rider.
2/. Does my motorcycle need one?
Probably not, but if it is in the least bit sporty it is worth either calling us or contacting the DSA (0115 901 2500).
3/. What happens if I don't show the examiner a Restriction Certificate if he asks for one?
You will be turned away and lose your test fee :( .
4/. Do I need one for CBT?
Not as such, however, if we do not think your motorcycle is road legal then we reserve the right not to train you.
