2.4.8.12 Transmission / Gearbox

All transmission/gearbox ratios, shafts, drums, selector forks are free.
Primary gear ratios are free.

The number of gears must remain as homologated.

Additions to gearbox or selector mechanism, such as quick shift systems, are allowed.
Countershaft sprocket, rear wheel sprocket, chain pitch and size may be changed.

Any power source (i.e. hydraulic or electric) cannot be used for gear selection, if not installed in the homologated model for road use. Human power and so called quick shift systems are excluded from the ban.


2.4.8.13 Clutch

Aftermarket or modified clutches are permitted.

Back torque limiter is permitted.

Any power source (i.e. hydraulic or electric) cannot be used for clutch operation, if not installed in the homologated model for road use. Human power is excluded from the ban.

Clutch system (wet or dry type) and method of operation (cable/hydraulic) must remain as homologated.


2.4.8.16 Air Box

The air box may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle (a special design for racing is allowed). If fuel injectors are attached to the cover of the air box, their position with reference to the throttle body must remain as original.
The air filter element may be removed.
The air box must be completely closed around the induction bell mouth and all engine breather tubes. Carburation instruments may be entirely within the air box.
The air box drains must be sealed.
All motorcycles must have a closed breather system. All the oil breather lines must be connected and discharge in the air box.
The breather system (air box plus any breather oil collector box) must be capable in the event of drain pipe blockage, of retaining a minimum of 1000 cc of discharged fluid.

Only for motorcycles homologated after the 1st of January 2010.

The air box must remain as originally produced by the manufacturer on the homologated motorcycle.
Air filters, internal flap type valve, sensors and vacuum fittings may be removed, modified, or replaced with aftermarket parts.
Any holes in the air box to the outside atmosphere resulting from the removal of components must be completely sealed from incoming air.
Ram air tubes or ducts running from the fairing to the air box may be modified, replaced or removed. If tubes/ducts are utilized, they must be attached to the original, unmodified air box inlets.

All motorcycles must have a closed breather system. All the oil breather lines must be connected and discharge in the air box.


2.4.10.2 Front Forks

The front fork in whole or part may be changed but must be the same type homologated (leading link, telescopic, etc.).
No aftermarket or prototype electronically-controlled suspensions may be used. If original electronic suspensions are used, they must be completely standard (any mechanical or electronic part must remain as homologated).
The original electronic system must work properly in the event of an electric/electronic failure otherwise it cannot be homologated for FIM competitions.
The upper and lower fork clamps (triple clamp, fork bridges) may be changed or
modified.
Steering damper may be added or replaced with an after market damper.
The steering damper cannot act as a steering lock limiting device.
Electronic controlled steering damper cannot be used if not installed in the homologated model for road use. However, it must be completely standard (any mechanical or electronic part must remain as homologated).

2.4.10.6 Brakes


Front master cylinder may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle.
Rear master cylinder may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle.
Front calipers may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle.
Rear calipers may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle.
Brake pads or shoes may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle.
Brake hoses and brake couplings may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle. The split of the front brake lines for both front brake calipers must be made above the lower fork bridge (lower triple clamp).
Brake discs may be altered or replaced from those fitted to the homologated motorcycle. Only ferrous materials are allowed for brake discs. The use of exotic alloy materials for discs and brake calipers (i.e. aluminium beryllium, etc.) is not allowed.
ABS (Antilock Brake System) may be used only if installed in the homologated model for road use. However, it must be completely standard (any mechanical or electronic part must remain as homologated, brake discs and master caliper levers excluded), and only the software of the ABS may be modified.


Application 2011

Camier?

Är han signad för nästa år?

Ja.
Nej, inte vad som sagts officiellt i varje fall.

Yoshimura Japan kanske har ett team i WSBK nästa år, vore jäkligt kul

Klassiskt. Me like.

 

[Gustav O]

Det där måste vara ett PS-jobb.

 

[Gustav O]

Piaggio och Alitlia har en gemensam ägare vilket gör det hela mindre otroligt!

Själva dealen är trolig. Bilden är ett PS jobb.

Haslam nöjd anställd hos Suzuki ..

“This is the first time I’ve ridden for a full factory team. You always think the grass is going to be greener and it is. I can’t pick fault with anything they’ve done. Everything is organised so all I have to do is ride the bike which is prefect for me.”

Haslam completed 280 laps over the three day Phillip Island test despite having to cope with blistering temperatures which resulted in 65 degree track temperatures.

He said:
“When we were there it was a heat wave and that meant we could only really set fast times early in the morning or late in the afternoon. I’m not allowed to speak about lap times, but what I can say is that I’m really happy.”

Haslam spent the three days lapping with new team-mate Sylvan Guintoli who was also in impressive form despite hitting a number of seagulls during the test.

Haslam said:
“There was only two of us lapping so it took time to clean the track. Between myself and Sylvan I think we hit about eight birds. Sylvan hit one with his helmet on the start finish straight which was a bit messy.”

The two men used the test to evaluate new parts including a back to back test between Ohlins and Showa suspension, with the Belgium run squad expected to make the full time switch to Ohlins in 2010.

Yoshimura Japan kanske har ett team i WSBK nästa år, vore jäkligt kul

Tydligen är detta en protest mot vad som sker i Japan där man varit hårda mot dom som överskridit decibel-gränsen. Yoshimura Suzuki hade stora problem med det under 2009. Även andra team hade problem med detta. Bl.a gick segern i JSBK till Katsuyuki Nakasuga/Yamaha YSP Racing Team då Chojun Kameya/Sakurai Team blev diskade på finalen på Motegi för att dom inte klarade decibel-gränsen efter racet.

1 januari lade det Japanska förbundet ut årets regler/klasss som ska gälla för 2010. Men det som återstår är dock att komma fram till vilken decibel-gräns som ska gälla i JSBK. Flera team och ljuddämpartillverkare säger att det är "omöjligt för dem att stanna kvar i JSBK" om man sänker gränsen. Därför kommer ledningen för dom som skriver reglementet ha möte med teamen innom några veckor.

Gränsen dom hade i JSBK 2009 var 118db/A.
