Any interference with the series tune will result in instant disqualification.
You may wrap the vertical section of your exhaust pipe between the exhaust valve and the silencer with a heat resistant material. The intention is to reduce heat transfer from the exhaust pipe to the oil reservoir on the shock absorber to reduce deterioration of shock absorber performance.
Tyres
Metzler Interact tyres are to be used during Championship race events. A maximum of two front tyres and two rear tyres per meeting may be used. (Please note that no tyres will now be issued as part of your fee, you may now acquire them from Complog at each event.
Wet tyres may be used when the race is declared wet by the COC and maybe purchased from Complog at the applicable event. An account application form is downloadable at the bottom of this form as a PDF. Only compressed atmospheric air may be used to inflate tyres.
Riders will be issued with tyre control numbers for their dry tyres (different control numbers will be issued for different rounds). Riders must ensure that these tyre control numbers are fixed to the tyres for all qualifying and race sessions. Failure to do so will result in your track time being suspended.
Tyre control numbers are to be fitted to the right hand side of tyre walls as you sit on the bike.
Riders are advised to fix tyre control numbers to tyres before the tyre is fitted to the wheel since tyre soap reduces the adhesion of the sticker to the tyre. Riders are advised to thoroughly clean the area of the tyre that stickers are to be fixed to.
Minimum Weight
In the final inspection at the end of a race or qualifying session bike weights should be a minimum of 152Kg for Vin No’s 381275 onwards (to include the weight of all fluids in the bike) with a tolerance of 1Kg.
