Ok, so just to clarify...If I bring my 04 GSXR 600 to tech at a CCS race event with the oil drain plug, oil fill cap, and oil filter safety wired then they will pass me according to section 5.2.16 in the rulebook?

Read the entire rule book. That was one sentence to clarify a comment.

RTFRB   Fixed it for ya. 

You have potentially 2 drain plugs in the motor - one on the zuki's is usually the bottom bolt holding the "neck" on the water pump exit - some bikes also have a drain in the block.....

I was not asking if the drain plug was the ONLY thing that needed to be safety wired. I wanted to know what else was required to be safety wires AS PER section 5.2.16 of the rulebook. I'm aware that other things need to be done besides safety wire in order to pass tech. You guys are tough...

My rules are:

1. If it EVER comes or came loose then it gets safety wired.

2. If it could hurt me or anyone else on the track if it came loose it gets safety wired.

A lot of people think that safety wiring is a pain so do only what they have to. I look at it a different way. How long does it take to go over your bike before every race weekend and make sure every nut and bolt is tight? All I have to do is look to see if the safety wire is intact, if it isn't broken then the fastener is tight. Makes safety inspections really quick and easy.

Another thing you can do;

After you have gone over every nut n bolt on your bike, put a small paint line across the fastener
and whatever it fastens, ie; case covers, clip-on's, fork clamps, ect...

That way you can SEE if it has moved.

BTW; The above suggestion is for NON-Criticle components that don't require safety wire...
