    Be interesting to have the weights posted alongside the times....

    I remember an older weight controversy at Manfield. Phyllis GPX750 was 2kg underweight at the WSB round. He roamed the pits moaning about bloody inaccurate scales - the bike was fine last week in Oz - then miraculously he found the lead weight needed and bolted it back on....

    yeah well every other weight rule in the book has a 2 % margin for error, except this one.

    As someone said to me, how likely is it that they'd have all the stuff around the pits to do that with?

    Probably thought he'd get the Stroud family exemption

    Don't know - but I'll ask...What I have been told is that every one of the bikes built has now been down at least once. Apparently Suzuki are running out of fairings....

    I think it was 4 of them picked up for "technical infringements"

    i haven't kept an eye on all bikes but the farings seem quite resilient, many have scratches on them, not sure who has replaced them

    one bike has been detained for technical checks, the rider requested an engine seal and it will be dealt with after levels, i'm pretty sure he's confident it will be legal as he stands to lose two rounds if found non compliant in this situation. It's a good thing they're prepared to do this so as to silence the critics.

    Im pretty sure the 4 air filter guys were confident they wouldnt be caught either.
