Rules for Husaberg

[F5 Dave]

Well if racing kart was the vendor, which it appears that would be another kettle, perhaps that is what you were getting at. Doesn't tell you the SE size or width. Or the intended application.

I know thats the beauty of it so little information helps. As it is adaptable to a SGM or what ever. http://www.sgm-engines.com/testi/L198_125_ICC_gb.htm
One would assume to follow the same dimensions?
wheres that list Kel ya slacker

[Henk]

Aftermarket part for a kart engine so clearly. You know what I just can't be bothered

OH you know you want to. but in all seriousness i see the word Adaptable as being quite significant here.

[husaberg]

Here is the dimensions for a real SGM125 rod. Rather than just for a rod that is "Adaptable" to one.


Connecting Rod 20x113mm
Model: F196.20113
Manufacturer: SGM Engines
Price: 178.61EUR 151.82EUR
Racing rod, big diameter 26 mm, small diameter 19 mm, thickness 15 mm, length 113 mm

This rod i deem to be illegal.

My ideal rod would be around 112 -113mm support a 20mm crankpin big end 17mm ish wide and a 18mm little end for a 14mm pin and be er....Free

Good skills, got her in the house and never let her out again

A guy I work with got his 10 year younger Asian wife delivered to the door, she was an exchange student arranged by his parents.
Mind you the same guy said he was at a family reunion and that his cousins were hot!!

Er... that's not helping any reputations for inbreeding with us Coasters now is it
Although at least the mail order was an out-cross i guess

[husaberg]

Too expensive....like the bikestand whose picture you keep posting.

Expensive no the bikestand is rather cheap to run .......
She is not into clothes and is on a strict seafood and Sausage diet, she does moan a lot though...Oh well can't have everything can you.

[koba]

sorry i disagree if you read again it says adaptable to a competition motor the racing kart logo is i believe the manufacturer.

"20mm with 113mm wheelbase conrod for 125cc (adaptable SGM)"

Doesn't quite read as "adaptable to a competition motor" to me.

Am I missing something there?

The Racing Kart logo seems related to the seller and I read that saying it is an SGM rod with multiple applications.

Looks very competition to me...

"MOTORI TELAI DA COMPETIZIONE"

EDIT: Just saw the last page.

Just get a legal motor that works, put it in the bike and ride the bloody thing.

IF you read the reply to Daves post you may get a better handle on what i am trying to say.

the bit where i said adaptable to a competition motor was in reply to your post saying "it was a competition part" its is splitting hairs yes.

Oh, go on then, I'll bite.
What debate?
As presented it is a competition part.

sorry i disagree if you read again it says adaptable to a competition motor the racing kart logo is i believe the manufacturer.

But.It does not say it is for a SGM 125 it says "20mm with 113mm wheelbase conrod for 125cc (adaptable SGM)"
I are definitely not denying the SGM is a Kart motor i have even posted links to it.

last one the NSR 125 (Vanessa) engine is 100% legal if someone after careful consideration of what i have said about a possible rod for Vanessa still says they really thinks it is against the rules i urge you to speak now or forever hold their piece.

But point taken. I better pull finger, 6 months to go, will it be ready for Greymouth

I wouldn't be comfortable putting that rod in my engine on the evidence presented.

Weren't you giving Dave and Speedpro shit for ages about questionable (in your opinion) legality of parts?

Doesn't sound like me
But you do seem to be wavering a bit to the dark side there Koba.
There is a lot of things i wouldn't personally feel "comfortable" with that are in fact legal.

Like i said debate is healthy. But i guess you are still in the. I don't think is legal camp?

I want to get in on this.

If I had a company called Racing Kart the first thing I would make would be parts for racing karts.

My take would be that it is most likely a part for another kart engine that could be used for the SGM. I don't see why a company called Racing Kart would make a rod that was neither intended for racing, nor kart just so someone could adapt it for a racing kart engine.

I know, how abouts you email them ask ask what its original purpose was. I would love to see the reply.

[Henk]

So if I can find a wiseco rod advertised as designed for a Honda RS125 is it legal? HRC didn't make the thing after all.

[Yow Ling]

I think Husaburg has maybe shot himself in the foot here, by going on and on about legal or not legal mainbearings etc and creating a cloud over lots of things that are just generic high quality parts that happen to be used in race engines as well as non competition.

Then he finds himself in a situation where he has found the perfect rod which is right in every way except eligibility and is trying to convince himself and others its ok simply by 2 words on the website. Kind of like convincing your wife a bit of offshore drilling would be OK

Truth is if he just bought it and fitted it nobody would be any the wiser, there is only 1 race a year on the west coast.

[kel]

wheres that list Kel ya slacker

What list? I run a TKRJ DT125 rod and bearing. I may have mentioned that I have created a list that cross referenced non model specific big ends that will fit my rod in case the standard product is not up to the job? If your rod and bearing are non model specific then use them and tell everyone to stick their misrepresentation of the rules up their pipes, just make sure you have it fully covered.
As for your kart parts, looks like you only got a couple of bites
