Just cant win can you. I think this is a awsome step forward for the Vinduro comunity. VERI are running the meet and have decided its pre88...simple as that. (Im down with pre 95) but its not about just me. Get a pre88 bike and join in the fun or you can always run your own event.
im going to sneak down and remove that rock that got me >:( :o
just noticed this in the regs.." no gap between the rear sprocket and the chain guide, " How does a std 84 husky chain guide go in this regard??
Same rule for classic MX. You must not be able to get your fingers between the chain & sprocket at the bottom (coz that's what happens while you're riding, wtf!). Your Husky is not compliant (most vintage bikes are not). Easy fix, about 1/2 hour's work & $10 for some alloy plate & a couple of bolts if you want to do it properly, or 3 minutes if you use an ice cream container lid & a couple of zip ties (got just about every bike through scrutineering at the 2017 Classic MX titles after MA put the rule back in the MoMS). Finding an ice cream container lid in the parc ferme may not be so easy though. I have plenty of photos of bikes which have been done but don't know how to load them on here.
you often see people moaning about this rule, and it does seem an unlikely danger, but I have a relative who actually fell off and somehow got his hand between chain and sprocket .Quotejust noticed this in the regs.." no gap between the rear sprocket and the chain guide, " How does a std 84 husky chain guide go in this regard??QuoteSame rule for classic MX.

bigk's explanation is right, and hopefully the illustrations below help too:

This is the correct arrangement. The guide covers the space where the chain meets the sprocket on the underside of the swingarm.

There's no chain on this bike, but you get the idea... This is a non-compliant arrangement. This gap needs to be covered.

Thats the first time ive heard of that specific injury..thanksMe too, but I've seen a few spills resulting from meaty sticks getting there and causing all sorts of strife.
ol mate had a ts 90...great little bike...suffered all kinds of teenage hell....
Yeah ts90 was light years ahead of the clapped out bsa bantam it replaced -honcho was bulletproof ;)
