Literbike Equipment Rules and Regulations
All machines eligible for participation in Literbike must be approved by AMA Pro Racing and homologated by the manufacturer. Approval of homologation will require a contingency awards program that rewards the first five finishers competing on the homologated machine, by brand and model. Machines currently eligible for homologation by their manufacturer or distributor
for competition in 2009 are:
Aprilia RSV 4
BMW S1000RR
Buell 1125R
Ducati 1098S
Honda CBR1000RR
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
KTM RC8
MV F4312
Suzuki GSX-R1000
Yamaha YZF-R1
Each homologated machine will have a published Technical Information Form (TIF) containing the AMA approved specifications required for competition. Specifications will include, but not be limited to make, model, year, original displacement, and special allowances (if any) for this specific homologated machine. The original TIF may be modified to enhance or reduce the performance of the machine based upon actual competition experience.
Unless otherwise specified, all parts must originate from the same make/model as the homologated machine, meaning no up-dating or back-dating is permitted
1. HORSEPOWER AND WEIGHT LIMITS
A. Minimum weight is 370 lbs in the exact condition the machine finishes any competition activity (qualifying or race final) without the addition of fluids or other items of any kind.
B. Once the machine weight has been established, the motorcycle will be tested for
power output on the official series dynamometer. Power is limited to a maximum
of 185 horsepower. Fuel may be added to allow for the dynamometer testing
after the official weight has been recorded.
2. TIRES
A. XXXXXX is the Official Tire of AMA Pro Road Racing and only tires produced by
XXXX and mounted at the meet may be used in competition.
B. The number of available compounds, configurations, and quantities available for
use at each event will be announced coincident with the announcement of the
Official Tire of the series and may be altered during the course of the 2009
season per safety, wear and related experience.
3. FUEL
A. Official Fuel - The Official Fuel of AMA Pro Racing is XXXXXXXX and its exclusive use in unadulterated form shall be mandatory.
B.
