    @andrewj1680 Meh, sometimes the speedo breaks and you are not in a hurry to fix it.

    I'd say that's slightly different from intentially clocking it, but it has the same effect.

    If you look at my bikes MOT, it's gone from like 5K to 200 miles. I've swapped the clocks over.

    But I have no intention in selling my bike.

        Highly unlikely you would swap a wheel on a bike with that mileage you just wouldnt need to if the mileage was correct

          @andrewj1680 Yeah, I swapped the front wheel on my DT with only 7k on the clocks. It got nicked and then bent my rim.

                @r11ys-d All the factory restrictions have been removed, to enable 'Full power' to be released. Which are normally inlet, exhaust, CDI etc.

                  @cyber-ninja is this going to be a problem on a cbt licence, or it the same as having a dep pipe which you can't technically have either on cbt?

                    I'm not 100% sure of what the laws state about what your legally allowed to ride with a CBT, other than it must be 125cc and 11Kw. However if your a sensible rider and not put yourself at risk of getting stopped, how do the police know that your bike is not factory specced? You can always use the line of "The bike came like this when I bought it". Which may not save you entirely, but if you don't ride like a nutter then you are less likely to get pulled over. Most bikes these days have some sort of mods on them, so the 11Kw rule is not adhered too very much. How do they check and enforce these rules anyways? And switching an exhaust or CDI unit is not the same as adding a turbo!!! LOL 😉

                      Spent years (back in the day) riding full power 125's on CBT's and as long as you dress well, have L-plates and don't ride like an idiot (well all the time!) you should be ok.

                        Took my test on a full power dt125lc back in the day, examiner had no idea what bike it was (no stickers!) Passed though, foggy as hell and he couldn't see me, followed in a car 🤣 no chance, only thing he witnessed was the emergency stop.
