As a second step, the air restrictor handicap will be applied according to the<br />

relevant provisions described in Art 2.4.8.1.3: the size of the intake ports will be<br />

changed by means of air restrictors. These changes to the size of the air restrictor<br />

diameter will be applied in 2 mm steps.<br />

The <strong>Superbike</strong> Commission can at any time modify the handicap system to<br />

ensure fair competition.<br />

2.4.3 Engine configurations and displacement capacities<br />

The following engine configurations comprise the <strong>Superbike</strong> 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 must remain at the homologated<br />

2.4.4 Minimum weight<br />

2.4.4.1 The minimum weight will be:<br />

1000cc 3 & 4 cylinders 165 kg<br />

1200cc 2 cylinders 171 kg (**)<br />

(**) See handicap rule for further information.<br />

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

tank and its contents) must not be less 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 each 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 their<br />

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

be declared to the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director at the preliminary checks.<br />
