They have been received Walt :) If you run stock set up you should be ok (me and Myles will work our Norfolk magic on the organisers) my old X1 failed there at 120db :o its either 5000rpm or 3/4 power, which ever comes first, just tell them it makes maximum power at 4000rpm ;) I will probably have to stick the db killer in the 800 :( well at least for the test ;) this is gonna be fun on off road tyres :o :ill:

I spoke with the organiser last night, and I'll be posting our application forms today. :D

He has 40 places in the intermediate group, of which 12 are already booked; but only 4 booked for the fast group, and thinks he may have to do a bit of juggling if the intermediate group becomes too crowded. I've requested imtermediate for all of us, on the basis that I didn't want to get in the way of trackday special S100RR's, but he reckons we'd be alright. lOl

I'd not heard the 3/4 power thing before, but looking back at an old dyno sheet that's still at about 5000rpm. Pity it's not 3/4 of maximum torque, which would be about 3000rpm. :(

There rules can be interpreted in different ways with noise, it depends how the tester is on the day :? They tried numerous ways of testing my X1, but when it failed on idle they gave up lOl

This is the official line

Engine Size 1 cylinder 2 cylinder 3 cylinder 4 cylinder
250cc (4 stroke) 5,500rpm 8,500rpm
400cc (4 stroke) 5,000rpm 6,500rpm 7,000rpm 8,000rpm
600cc (4 stroke) 5,000rpm 5,500rpm 6,500rpm 7,000rpm
750cc (4 stroke) 5,000rpm 5,500 rpm 6,500rpm 7,000rpm
+750cc (4 stroke) 4,500rpm 5,000rpm 5,000rpm 5,500rpm
125cc (2 stroke) 7,000rpm
250cc (2 stroke) 7,000rpm
500cc (2 stroke) 5,500rpm 7,000rpm 7,000rpm


In cases where the motorcycle has two separated exhausts the measurement will be taken as above from the median point between the two. The limit at Snetterton is 102db. As you can see its a joke with a four cylinder bike only 500rpm more than a twin cylinder, even though the fours maximum power could be over 16000rpm, where 5000rpm on a Harley based motor and its nearly all over!!
