Help - RG50 Boyesen Reeds

[F5 Dave]

.
. . . , I was blinded by advertising hype and fell into the chromed dipstick trap where anything shiny must make it go faster, right! especialy if it cost $$$.
. . .

Lovely! Yeah I fell for that with reeds for my 350YPVS. Tried 3 types on dyno on same day (including Boysens) & ended up with stock steel reeds.

I hear you I do
what about clutch baskets and clutches . . .

That would be internal engine parts, so RM80 parts for example should not be allowed. If you're keen you can run 4 TS125 plates, they're thinner & allow an extra plate for more surface area. There a tip for nothing & road legal (prob same as GP plates).

. . .
but what about getting a replacement barrel and head for an rg400 and fitting that it's a road bike part but from another maker ????. . .

RG400 parts are roadbike, there's no issue & there are several of them about, or used to be.

Streetmagic with hot up parts can't be legal. But usually there is a little leeway to at least run the things until they get competitive then tell them to go buy a bucket. Happened in wgtn, some chap got quite fast on a scooter, but then bought an FXR within the cc rulings as it was clear it wasn't a bucket (the scooter). Pitbikes with all sorts of kits aren't 'legal', but give them a taste & tell them to buy a bucket once hooked.

F5, again thanks for the tips, much appreciated.

I have just checked, the GP ones fit the RG50 and I can get four in like you said, guess all the smaller Suzukis use the same plates/dimensions and bugger the Boysen reeds, I have now fitted the reed you gave me.

Push to point and see if someone can get a definite ruling (or get a ruling from MNZ). Not in the spirit of the class but if you REALLY want to know... As RMS says - there may be no advantage; and as you say - they are a replacement part. Who knows how other people may take it. Whoever you beat MAY have sour grapes over it.
We let Loncin's race but considering what they are I personally don't have an issue. Someone else might.

hit it on the nail from the response it's not in the spirit of Buckets
you could copy something hand make it all but not buy it
or so I see it anyway

and if I beat anyone all the better but it dosent happen often

can I run a RS125R honda till I become competitive
or beat F5Dave on his 50
please pretty please

[F5 Dave]

Yes ok specially you can use an RS125, but only at the Slipway on Pukie gearing

no it says there is to be NO RESTRICTION ( it says you cant use {motors} or {transmition parts} )



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.

the sentance says 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.
so I take that to mean "There shall be NO RESTRICTION"
and buy NO RESTRICTION it means no restriction
not restricted to non competition restriction

when it says no restriction but restricted to I think it is to restrictive

so is it restricked or is there NO RESTRICTION

the sentance says there is no restriction on the make, type or design of carburettor
so is it restricted or not

While you focus on the first part you fail to read this bit
except for class eligibility.

I have always felt a lot of the rules are quite ambiguous, and too much can be read into them.
