The Official Supplier shall provide the FIM Superbike Technical Director with a<br />

written description of the markings and the general characteristics of the different<br />

types of tyres.<br />

The FIM Superbike Technical Director may ask the Official Supplier to deliver<br />

tyre samples to him the day prior to the start of the official practice. Any<br />

modification of the tread pattern by the Official Supplier is not permitted after the<br />

start of the practices.<br />

During free practices, qualifying practices, (Superpole for Superbike), warm up<br />

session (and race for Superstock), no motorcycle may enter the track without the<br />

front and rear tyres being marked (see also Art. 2.4.7/ 2.5.7/ 2.6.7).<br />

The FIM Superbike Technical Director may, at his discretion, require the<br />

exchange of one (1) or more competitors’ tyres for a tyre sample under his<br />

control. The tyres exchanged remain under his control and he can exchange<br />

them for the ones of another competitor.<br />

An appropriate identification will be applied on the left side of each tyre by the<br />

entrant.<br />

No tyres marked for one event may be used during another event.<br />

2.3.8 Ballast<br />

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

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

preliminary checks.<br />

The ballast must be made of solid metallic piece/s, firmly and securely<br />

connected, either through an adapter or directly to the main frame or engine,<br />

with a minimum of 2 steel bolts (min. 8 mm diameter, 8.8 grade or over). Other<br />

equivalent technical solutions must be submitted to the FIM Superbike Technical<br />

Director for his approval.<br />

Fuel in the fuel tank can be used as ballast. Nevertheless, the verified weight<br />

may never fall below the required minimum weight.<br />

2.3.9 Timekeeping instruments<br />

All motorcycles must have a correctly positioned timekeeping transponder.<br />

The transponder must be approved by the official Timekeeper and fixed to the<br />

motorcycle in the longitudinal centre of the motorcycle (typically close the swingarm<br />

pivot), on either the left or right side, as low as possible and avoiding being<br />

shielded by carbon bodywork.<br />
