OK, I decided to start slow and see how I like it on the bikes versus the car so I will be running a new Ninja 500R in the 500cc/4 stroke classes. I am not sure I will be ready to run it by April but should have it down there. Need to get some break-in miles racked up. Got a few questions. Thanks in advance guys.
1 - Do you need to display the engine displacement or just the frame/engine class along with your number?
2 - I have exactly 1/2" of handlebar showing between the clutch bracket and el-cheapo factory 'clip-on' covers which I have not tried to remove yet. No manuals in stock.
Does anyone have a bar mount kill tether that fits that space? Can't be very thick towards the backside either. Other mounting options? I believe I can mount 37mm clip-ons on this bike but am not sure all the current controls transferring over and current bar position is comfortable for now.
3 - Safety wiring? I have read the rule book back and forth and am either going blind or missing pages! I did see the axles have to be cotter pinned or wired. The rear has a nice obvious cotter pin. The front axle on the Ninja has sunken allen type bolt heads showing on each side so I don't have a clue what I will need to do there. Assuming oil drain plug, filter and fill cap must all be wired but didn't spot that in the book. What else is required versus smart to do. Will look next for a bike tech inspection form as maybe that will answer my questions.
