Title: Question on Supersport rules
Post by: Ralphy99 on March 10, 2004, 02:20:45 PM
Can someone tell me if it is illegal to put a Brembo Master on a supersport 600. If so where does it state so in the rule book. Thanks!

section 6 states Calipers... maybe it is legal to replace the master

6.1.2 All motorcycles must meet the following requirements in addition to the applicable requirements in Section 5.
A. Original equipment wheels, brake calipers, forks, frame, engine, fuel induction system, and swing arm must be used.

Yeah philly thats exactly what I saw no mention of Master. I come up with some good ones every now and then. Lets here from every1 what is your interpertation. Don't want to buy the Brembo and then get disqualified!

i beleive that it must be a stock master also. i heard that last year, Jeff Kramer was riding a borrowed
98 kaw zx6r, got a top 3 and was dq'd for an aftermarket master. hell they should have given him double for placing on such a slow bike.

you can email kevin elliot and ask him directly. Also if you buy and use the brembo bring a rule book with you to the track and highlight that section so you can argue with head tech if you need to.

Quotesounds like a rule loophole to me
There is no rule loophole, aftermarket master cylinders are legal in SS. Calipers, wheels, forks, as per rules are not legal. ;D This question has been asked and answered many times.
