Modest mod and its effect on insurance

Modest mod and its effect on insurance

When I came back to biking after a few years recently, one of the not-so-welcome novelties I encountered was the massive number of questions I faced when taking out insurance, along with the generally pfo tone of insurers.


With a new bike, I was happy to say that it had no mods and move on to the next part of the interrogation. Now I want to put in this booster plug (https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/41128) with the aim of enriching the fuel mix at low revs. Apparently it gives a smoother performance, without increasing overall power characteristics, as per a full efi unit.


I’m hesitating because I don’t know what this will do to my premium, or even if the insurer will refuse to cover me, as they certainly seem to have a take-it-or-leave-it approach.:unsure2:


Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this?
