It can if you use a dyno, without a dyno it's a bit like cat herding.

Euphonius I believe the modification in Australia is to retard the bike down to a level which makes it similar in power to a 250, 20KW? Or to retard the bike to a 'provisional' power level maybe 50KW? At the end of these periods the bikes can be legally unrestricted.
Yeah I'm sorry for jumping too ZMC. I have investigated the ECU issue too and was told by a guy that using a Power Commander V management system could very well achieve the desired result or better as it bypasses the ECU with the help of a dyno but the price of $800-$1000 AUS made it nonfeasable. Anyway my bikes in the shop having a cracked head seal replaced and its throwing up a injector sensor error so I haven't ridden for a while all under warranty of course so I'm a bit pissed off, though I have been riding hard lately. Still impressed with the bikes power even though restricted to 50kw I would still like the full 70kw or more. Euphonis you cant legally change the restriction because its stamped on the compliance plates as a LAMS not that that would stop me if I could figure it out. Anyway peace out people and ride safe.
