VMX Vinduro comes under the classic Motocross/Dirt Track banner ...

What sound level meter are you usins as many cheapies from Supercheap etc.. are not rated and they must be recalibrated every couple of years.
I have one at my shop to test the ''hoons'' when they get picked up.
There is a cd of makes and model revs, usually 2/3 of max.

Hi Mboddy,
When vinduro became popular it was discussed at MA Commission meetings and was recommended that vinduro come under Classic Motocross and Dirt track and the board agreed. I would think that this would make dealing with classic enduro bikes a bit easier as there is no rules at present for vinduro.

Cheers
Fatboy

You need to know the stroke of your motor (that's why you sometimes see 50.6 or similar written on head fins in texta), then there's a table which calibrates what revs you should run your engine at when being tested.
The MA fun police are issued with another small device which is triggered by the resonance of your motor to indicate when it reaches the required rev range for your readings to be taken.

BUT...

If you repack your mufflers, don't race round the pits, don't fire up your bike and rev it outside track curfew hours, and especially DON'T keep bringing up noise as an issue on forums like this, after a while the fun police will forget about it, and go and pick on something else.... ;)
Nostalgia's not what it used to be....
