...what F3...
The good thing about Buckets is that the engine capacity does not have to be class legal to start with, it could be de stroked, sleeved down or re bored, anything that meets the class capacity requirements.
154 OEM is not legal but being re bored would allow you to run 158cc, So freshen it up with a re bore and then you would be legal....... ... easy as.
But then its not legal for Gixers, but they want both. And buckets has to pay, Frost already said on face book that the Gixer will be carefully monitored for modifications. So buckets its up to you to let them in , Venter said it would be easy to change the bucket rules
"Liam Venter I am sure that a rule amendment change could be made to accommodate these in bucket racing. Where there is a will there is a way and us bucket racers are pragmatic and flexible.

Rule changes are closed for this year
"Sloan M Frost Found the rules, technically the engine needs to be rebored but its allowed up to 158cc

No not Technically, actually rebored
"Sloan M Frost I read the rules MikeStein, it says max capacity for rebored engines. Doesn't say where they need to start. You could have a 1000cc engine rebored to 158cc it would fit within the rules.

"Sloan M Frost Where does it say rebored engines must be under 150cc before they are rebored? Pretty sure a bunch of 2 strokes are rebored to get them within the capacity but start life larger

It says it in the rules under the capacity part
"Sloan M Frost That's your interpretation GavinMenting. Also doesn't say a minimum rebore amount. Rebore the cylinder 1 millionth over the rings will seal nicely

So rebored engines are ok in Gixxer cup?
My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues
So clearly if someone were to pull the barrel off and give it a hone, the bike becomes legal since bore material has been removed and it's now in the over bore section of the rules.
