CCS required side covers on ALL bikes this season..pretty sure anyway.. was a new rule for 2003.

Not for Great Lakes, Great Plains or Midwest.  And it's not in the rulebook either.  Only specific bikes (Suzuki/Yamaha) need them.

I've ridden Honda's exclusively for the last 4 years and have only had one request for case covers by Tech, and it was a new guy.  When I said that it wasn't a Suzuki/Yamaha, the other guys in tech pointed out that they weren't required.

Am I the only one that got the joke?

Now we're in trouble, because Elaine's TZ dosen't have anything covering the magneto, should we add a cover?

Come to think of it, my CR doesn't NEED the left side cover, as the mag is dry.  I wounder if that would pass tech.   ;D ;D ;D

This is not correct all bikes that caused oil leak issues were kept track of. There are no new bikes added to the list, Suzuki and Yamaha are only bikes required to have them as default.  

Now if you have a bike that otherwise would not need one (I.E. F2) but the side cover has been ground down and the tech inspector's opinion is that it is in a weakend condition and could then be a problem it would need to be replaced. This is true of any side cover if it is worn it may need to be replaced whether stock or aftermarket built up etc.


FYI a slider is not suitable to comply with rule.

This is driving me up a wall,

I believe the missing keyword is REINFORCED side covers, which would be required only on select bikes (yam, suz).  Stock or aftermarket side covers would be required for the rest

Don't let it drive you up a wall.  The conversation started out with a reinforced or aftermarket case cover implied.

How far do you think a 600RR (which is what this topic was written around) would run with no clutch or alternator cover?  (a) it wouldn't start as there's nothing to hold the stator.  (b) if it did, it would pop after about 90 seconds due to there being NO OIL left in it...

That's 'cause Buells need a lot more than just a couple side covers to hold the oil in  ;D  ;) :P

What is a baseline number when you have no idea how close someone elses bike is to yours . You can have bikes set up same fork tube sticking out , same shock length and rear wheel in same position and same tires. They will not handle the same , every frame is different due to manufacturing tolerances. So for all you guys that set your bike up just like your pals , keep wondering why yours doesn't work right.

Oh and as far as the other machines on the market that are supposed to be as accurate as a GMD Computrack , they are not or i would have one.

Dave--suck it up and take it over to Peter or Mike.  Its the only real way to get it right.  

We were measuring the 600rr's last summer and the numbers were all over the place, no two were alike (unlike the R6 which was smack on each time).
