Technical Help for Nationals
« on: June 01, 2008, 06:24:57 pm »
Hoping someone can help with this Tech question.

Is a sprocket cover required at the Tassie Nats ???  In Victoria we are not required to run Sprocket Covers.

In the few discussions I've heard on the Nats it's accepted the rule book will be adhered to.
Titles can be won and lost on a protest, so pls check the GCRs and sup regs for an answer to your question.
Don't even think about welding that sprocket if it left the Factory in the riveted condition (that's from another thread in case you're wondering WTF...).

g.c.r. 12.8.8.5

A counter shaft sprocket which is more than 30 mm from the outside of the swingarm pivot must be covered.

Get out the tape.

There's a couple of wankers from WA coming over and if you beat them, your bike had better be100% perfect in every way as they will go out of their way to protest the shit out of you for the tiniest indescretion. They've done it before and they'll do it again.

Whoever they are, I hope they get smoked.  There's nothing worse than idiots protesting things that wouldn't have given any advantage to the so-called perpetrator.

from another thread it was said the directive for scrutineering is not to lok at saftey aspects or to test bikes, or words to that effect.

Im going with what i have, its safe, legal and reliable thats all im hoping for, anything else is a bonus, besides you can argue anything is unsafe of illegal right .....
