It must mean NO AFTERMARKET REED VALVES FOR PRE 75 bikes otherwise even the YZA Yamaha series is ineligible let alone the YZBs.............

FFS! All they had to the EVO rules was allow any drum brake front end and put a date on it.

Richard - still takes out GEM reed valves which has already been ascertained were available at the time and therefore legal though?

We now have EuroEvo.

It will still be a rider's class but bikes can be built with certainty from a much wider range of donor parts. USD fork technology Pre 90's is nothing to fear.

I look forward to seeing some interesting and innovative hybrids.

It doesn't work like that. They can allow or ban anything.
Remember they banned Lectron carbs from pre-78 even though they were available in 1975.

And they wonder why we don't continue renewing our race licences. Me thinks a road registered trail bike so much more inviting now.
Merry Xmas

Ahh is this actually the rule now? i was currently planning on fitting a Lectron to a pre 78 bike as i always thought they were legal. Are you saying they no longer are? :( :-\ I don't think this forum is turning people away from the tracks anymore, it's some of the silly rules in the book!

Im sure those in positions of power will be along in a minute to allay your fears and explain how this is all for your benefit  ;)

I have a bit of room if anyone wants to move on those now worthless YZ A/B models  ;D

I can't see any date (1990 has been referenced on here) for components listed for the EVO rules? Am I missing something?

Page 155. Machines acceptable for Evolution class must fall between the Post Classic and Classic periods. Carryover models accepted.

So with that there the Evo class will constantly move to newer models as newer classes are introduced. Absolutely ridiculous

Hmmm, I haven't read the rules yet but from what you guys are saying; I can now use my '79 KX250/400 with the stock '84 KX125 front forks  :-)  Might have to dust it off and get a race licence again  :-)

Yes John -- time to get out there -- and all those pre 75 reed bikes will be with you because those bikes are not allowed in pre 78 unless of course the girlfriend gets a ride because the 75, 76, 77 only rule does not apply to the girls.

Well after reading the comments here without looking at any official document, it certainly appears as though the lunatics are running the asylum.

Great way to drive people away from the sport MA, well done!

It now appears more confusing than ever, when the sport is seemingly screaming out to be simplified.
