some change in the racing regs for next year?

[gridgway]

I was talking to a friendly chap called Bisp at the Brands track day last week who runs a race team. He was telling me that owing to a change in regs there would be some engines being changed at the end of the season. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

SR4

Keith Bisp, that's it, nice chap. What are they putting in the SR4 then if the 1200 is out? Why the change? Would it easily retrofit in a clubsport? Why do I ask all these questions??

I heard that the 1200 engine is not going to be produced anymore

[weeble]

The kwaka 1200 is going out of production. SR4's for 2007 will have busa 1300's. From 2007 the Radical Biduro races will have 2 classes - 1 for kwaka's 1 for busa's

[nildram]

Should have started with Busa 1300s in the first place IMO. SR4 will have now completed the transition from being a Clubsport equivalent to being a Prosport equivalent..

Why not use ZX14 engines, more power than the busa in standard trim. Maybe a "cheaper" option. iirc the 14 uses the same mounting points etc at the 12

[gridgway]

so if I wanted a spare engine and box for my clubsport(which I do), what's the best way? ARe there going to be some cheaper 1200's about?

ZX12 engine won't just "plug in" to a Clubsport, you'll need a lot of new parts to do this i.e. exhaust, mounts, ecu, wiring loom etc. Best bet is to locate a good second hand 1100 lump if you want a spare.

[gridgway]

1100 it is then! I def dont have time for ano spannering project!!
