Guess we need an 'official' World Superbike thread.
Rule changes here: http://resources.worldsbk.com/newsde...n,_12_June.pdf
I am going to assume that nothing has changed since so the important bits are:
- Camshafts are free
- Cylinder head porting is free but no welding
- Valves, pistons and most major engine components must remain standard
- Con-rods may be replaced with similar material but equal weight parts for safety
- Crankcases standard
- One set of racing gearbox ratios allowed for the whole season
- Balancing rules no longer use weight, it will be intake restriction only
- Price limited Superbike Kit System available to all teams in World Superbike and other FIM
championships
- Only approved ECU’s may be used in these kits – they will be race ECU’s
- The software of the factory team will be available to all other teams at three points during the
racing season
- The Superbike Kit System must include all of the electronic parts not fitted to the standard street machine and required for the system to be fully operational (except the wiring harness)
- The selling price for the Superbike Kit System will be €8000
- Alternatively the Superstock Kit EC
- Ride by wire kits must be available to all teams in World Superbike and other FIM
championships
- Only the machine manufacturer or one appointed supplier will be allowed to provide the kit (for
safety)
- The price of the kits will be €2500
- All non RBW machines currently utilise a solution and the control strategies are mature
- Standard road bikes will adopt the use of this technology by 2017 meaning development
continuity
