yeahbut, nobut (LOL, anyone else watch Little Britain?)
Isnt an XR80 a competition bike?

Pistons are open so are carbs,ignitions and cams. As for XR's being competition machines none of the XR's I have ridden were remotly good enough to be race bikes

I've noticed that there has been quite alot of comments made about pistons, have the rules been changed ? can we use any pistons we can find (as long as we stay within the required cc's) - I've been away from buckets for nearly 10 years but back then you couldn't use any pistons from a race derived bike.

MNZ rule 24-2-4
There shall be no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor, ignition, exhaust, piston, cam, valve springs, or cooling system, except for class eligibility

except for class eligibilty huh????? so whats the class eligibilty for buckets, then??
err, OK then, maybe its this.

"Engines must be derived from non-competition
motorcycles. Motocross, Road Racing, Enduro and
Go Kart motors and transmission parts are not
permitted. There shall be no restriction on the make,
type or design of carburettor, ignition, exhaust,
piston, cam, valve springs or cooling system except
for class eligibility. All engines must be normally
aspirated except F4 4 stroke engines of less than
100cc capacity, which may be turbo or supercharged.
F4 2 stroke engines over 104cc are restricted to
carburation equivalent to a single 24mm carburettor,
F5 4 stroke engines over 53cc are restricted to
carburation equivalent to a single 20mm carburettor."

So what determines if a engine is a non-competition motorcycle?
If an XR200 or CRF150 is sold as a farm bike, does this make it eligible? I can recall farmers (20 years ago) buying CR125's as they were then exept sales tax, and advertised as such, is it a farm bike or a competition bike? If the bike has never been raced it it still a competition bike? And therefore is a bucket bike a competition bike? It must as there are MNZ rules for bucket racing........and therefore the engine must be deemed a competion engine and technically illegal?

Stop trying to be difficult and get your fat arse on a bucket so we can give it a kicking

As long as the motor is a non race motor (ie tf100), i can do what i want with pistions, exhaust and carby (as long as I'm with in the CC's).
How things have changed !

Yip, so you can basically build an RM100 out of a TF100, just cant use the RM transmission.
J/K with you guys, but why not allow say 10 year old 80cc MX bikes? Future rule change maybe?

You can't use the barrel or head either to build your TF/RM
