2.6.3 Engine configurations and displacement capacities<br />

The following engine configurations comprise the Superstock class:<br />

Over 750cc up to 1000cc 4-stroke 3 and 4 cylinders<br />

Over 850cc up to 1200cc 4-stroke 2 cylinders<br />

The displacement capacity, bore and stroke (new), must remain at the<br />

homologated size.<br />

2.6.4 Minimum weight<br />

The minimum weight for each model is calculated by FIM by determining the “dry<br />

weight” of the homologated motorcycle.<br />

The ‘dry weight’ of a homologated motorcycle is defined as the total weight of<br />

the motorcycle as produced by the manufacturer (after removal of fuel, vehicle<br />

number plate, tools, main stand and side stand when fitted, but with oil and<br />

radiator liquid at prescribed levels). To confirm the ‘dry weight’ a minimum of<br />

three (3) motorcycles will be weighed and compared. The result will be rounded<br />

off to the nearest digit.<br />

The minimum weight for each model will be calculated by reducing the “dry<br />

weight” of the motorcycle by 8% and rounding off the result to the lower whole<br />

number.<br />

In any case the minimum weight cannot be lower than 165 Kg.<br />

At any time of the event, the weight of the whole motorcycle (including the tank<br />

and its contents) must not be lower than the minimum weight.<br />

There is no tolerance on the minimum weight of the motorcycle.<br />

During the final technical inspection at the end of the race, the selected<br />

motorcycles will be weighed in the condition they finished the race, and the<br />

established weight limit must be met in this condition. Nothing may be added to<br />

the motorcycle. This includes all fluids.<br />

During the practice and qualifying sessions, riders may be asked to submit<br />

their motorcycle to a weight control. In all cases the rider must comply with this<br />

request.<br />

The use of ballast is allowed to stay over the minimum weight limit and may be<br />

required due to the handicap system. The use of ballast and weight handicap<br />

must be declared to the FIM Superbike Technical Director at the preliminary<br />

checks.<br />
