hello to the all the bub folks.
A Friend called me to see if I was interested in a Yamaha xj650.
"Naw... I don't need another project."
"but it's got a *TURBO*"
"and it's *FREE*"
pick up the SCTA rule book from 2007 and hey no record for 650 production blower! wooo hooo!
Fast forward 6 months and.....
Rude Awakening #1, it's not a 650, it's 653cc now in the 750 class, where there is a record run over 200mph.
RA #2. the tires must have a speed rating for the record in your class.
RA #3. The only speed rated tires that will fit the rims are too wide for the rims and to fit between the forks and swing arm.
The top speed for this bike (with the shaft drive gearing) should be 121-127mph. the tires on it are good for 130.
Now I've given up on setting a record, but after the time and money, I just want to run.
I've looked through the "Run What-cha Brung" regs on this site, and the AMA regs.
Do I understand that if the bike passes technical inspection, I don't have to "class" the entry?
