WERA events

Haven't read anything like that yet but I'm asking anyway.

[strgt]

Which 3 things weren't prepped correctly?

It was small stuff that needed to be siliconed that was overlooked, they were cool about it but its a lot more thorough than lrrs. There are a lot of things that need to be safety wired that lrrs and ccs doesnt require. Not sure if this is how they always do it, but saturday's races were all solos, which are longer races. I ended up doing the trackday friday, the middleweight and the heavyweight race on saturday, then going home on sunday. I really liked doing the solo races because it gives you enough time to get a nice rhythm down.

care to list some of the safety wiring items you failed for?

you know the pin that holds your brake pads in? that has to be safety wired, or if its a allen key then siliconed. all oil lines going into the motor. the inspection ports on the stator covered need to be siliconed.

they are more leinant on other things. so the safety wire holding your calipers for example, can use safety pins, as long as the wire has tension if one was to loosen up

[Jim]

what are the inspection ports on the stator cover?

[butcher bergs]

The one or two removable caps on the stator cover.

There is usually a large one in the center of the cover and a smaller one to check timing and either or both are typically threaded.

If you are a Novice you should be okay in A SS/SB. Although i thought Sean said they were not allowing a C Bike in A any more....

Mongo's answer:

A = 1000cc, B = 750cc, C = 600cc. C can ride up to B & A, B can ride up to A. Basically production based bikes can go up two levels and Formula based up one level (so 125's can't run F1).

stator covers on both of my bikes have no such thing. Clutch cover on the other hand...

Mongo's answer:

ahh righto. i wasnt 100%% on that. i knew there was something that could only bump 1 class

I cant remember what it was sorry man. It was two years ago, and back then I had to rent a transponder, and register the day of, and try to make practice etc, so it was a crazy morning. But it was something like the R6 dipstick, the ignition cap, and then there was one of the lines that was weird on my R6 (I had just bought the bike the week before so it was new to me) and I dont remember what it was. There always seems to be confusion with safety wiring with wera. Not saying its a bad thing that they are so tight about it, just do a really good job reading the rule book to save yourself headaches.

Ya know what? You're absolutely right!

I got my sides mixed up

[Kurlon]

All depends on the bike, there are some with inspection covers on the stator side out there.

True but not for any of the riders in this thread....

......unless you wanna tell us more about that FZR.

If there is someone interested in spectating and/ or helping in the pits, I will have room for one in my truck.
