XRV 750 AT L/M, only 35 hp?

Hello AT Community
I'm thinking about buying a AT. Saw one in good shape for a good price. I thought a 1991 RD04 has about 59 hp but this L/M Model seem to have only 35 hp. Couldn't find anything about an AT with 35 hp in the Internet but other L/M Versions with similar performance specifications.

So whtat is L/M standing for? Is it a curbed version? If yes, can I undo it easily?

Thanks for answers.

XRV 750 AT L/M, only 35 hp?

Hello theunstoppable,

As I know L/M stands for the year of manufacture, L=1990, M=1991. All ATs have carbs, there were no FI models.
Most of the times the restriction is made with metal plates in the inlets between the carbs and the engine, these are easy to remove: RD03 restricted ?????? - Page 3

There are other restriction methods as well for the bikes manufactured for different countries. Check this list as well before buying, somebody has made an awesome work assembling this list:
Africa Twin RD04 XRV750 Engine Restriction Details

Besides I have an RD04 as well. It's a great bike, fun to ride both on and offroad.

Best Regards,
Andras

Thank you Andras for your quick and very helpful answer. This is good news
Actually I have a fully equipt BMW F800 GS and thought about buying the AT for a friend of mine to join me on my journey from Switzerland to SE-Asia early next year. But the more I read about the AT the more I'd like to own one myself
Sometimes I feel that my shiny white BMW 30 years annyversary edition is misplaced in poor countries. This blue, pink and turquoise RD04 surely wouldn't be
Anyhow, I think I'm going to buy this bike

Thanks again

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
