No Anti-Freeze for MRA School(3-22-08)?

[motaboy]

Besides the water, what other tech issues need to be addressed for the school? I'm planning on attending the April class and I've safety wired most of the bike and I have race fairings.

Besides the water, what other tech issues need to be addressed for the school? I'm planning on attending the April class and I've safety wired most of the bike and I have race fairings.

Personal:

Full face helmet made in the last 5 years
All leather one or two piece suit (must zip all the way around at the waist)
Boots that extend above the ankles
Gloves that extend beyond the wrists
Back protector

Bike:

For the class safety wiring isn't required, but for the races it is
Coolant drained and flushed, replaced with straight water or water with water wetter
all lights disconnected and taped over
mirrors removed
tires with at least 50% tread remaining
brake pads with at least 50% remaining
all parts installed in a workman like fashion. Bolts secure etc
No leaks (including fork seals)

Hope that helps

If you need help with anything stop by the Young Blood Racing pits. We'll have a blue Yamaha Coyote canopy and a white one. One blue yamaha bike and one green kawasaki. Say hi and get some free Monster Energy drinks!!!!!

This goes for all racers at the track. We will have Monster Energy all year for handouts plus lots of other stuff from various sponsors. Make sure to stop by!!!

Thanks for the invite. Got one more question. Are the Galfer Superbike lines MRA legal since they do not have a banjo bolt at the caliper? I ask because I don't know how or if I need to safety wire these lines at the direct connection that these lines have. I'm changing my M/C to a radial unit and I want to make sure I won't have an issue when I get my bike tech'ed.

Lets check the rulebook on that one:

Chapter 5.2 Paragraph O

All fluid-carrying hoses or lines must be secured at all connecting points by clamps, safety wire, or other approved means.

Chapter 5.2 Paragraph U

All nuts or fittings which drain fluid when removed, as well as filler caps (except fuel cap) or nuts, and filters must be secured with safety wire or other approved means.

You might still need to safety wire those bolts. If not, you will atleast need to use silicone on them. Maybe the MRA tech can speak up on this subject, or just post something over on the MRA board.

Siliconing the fittings on the Galfer superbike lines instead of safety wiring has been legal for at least the past 2 season.... or Tech hasnt said anything to me.
