Supersport 300 motorcycles require an FIM homologation. All machines must be normally aspirated. All motorcycles must comply in every respect with all the requirements for road racing as specified in these Technical Regulations unless they are already equipped as such on the homologated model. The appearance from the front, rear and the profile of Supersport 300 motorcycles must (except when otherwise stated) conform to the homologated shape (as originally produced by the manufacturer). The appearance of the exhaust system is excluded from this rule. 1. Motorcycle specifications All parts and systems not specifically mentioned in the following articles must remain as originally produced by the manufacturer for the homologated motorcycle. 2. Eligible Machines The class is based around the MCRCB/MSVR Junior Supersport & FIM SS300 Technical Regulations. The MCUI (UC) has the right to decide which machines will be eligible in the class. The following machines will be legal. This list can be amended at any time by the MCUI - Honda CBR500R - Kawasaki Ninja 300 (EX300ADF) - Kawasaki Ninja 400 (EX400) - KTM RC390 - KTM RC390R - Yamaha YZF-R3 250-300cc machines previously used in the Junior Cup Class will be permitted. 3. Balancing various motorcycle concepts The MCUI(UC) reserve the right to applying balancing to the machines in the class as they see fit in order to maintain equality amongst machines. Methods may include but are not limited to the following: - Rev Limit - Weight limit change The decision to apply the handicap will be taken by the MCUI (UC) at any time deemed necessary to ensure fair competition. 4. Minimum weight (Subject to change in order to conform to FIM/MCRCB Regulations) The minimum weight for each model is as follows: Honda CBR500R 153Kg Kawasaki Ninja 300 (EX300ADF) 140Kg Kawasaki Ninja 400 145Kg Yamaha YZF-R3 140Kg KTM RC390 136Kg At any time of the event, the weight of the whole motorcycle (including the tank and its contents) must not be lower than the minimum weight. There is no tolerance on the minimum weight of the motorcycle. During the final technical inspection at the end of the race, the selected motorcycles will be weighed in the condition they finished the race, and the established weight limit must be met in this condition. Nothing may be added to the motorcycle. This includes all fluids. During the practice and qualifying sessions, riders may be asked to submit their motorcycle to a weight control. In all cases the rider must comply with this request. The use of ballast is allowed to stay over the minimum weight limit and may be required due to the handicap system. The use of must be declared to the Chief Technical Officer at the preliminary checks. 5. Numbers and number plates for font type and size see MCUI Standing Regulations, Technical Regulations Handbook. In case of a dispute concerning the legibility of numbers, the decision of the Technical Steward or Scrutineer will be final. Manufacturer Number Background Honda White Red Kawasaki White Green Yamaha White Blue KTM White Orange 6. Fuel Only Unleaded and Super Unleaded pump fuels are permitted, maximum 102 RON. 7. Tyres The MCUI will impose a controlled tyre and all tyres must be provided by the official tyre supplier. Further conditions will be stated in SS300 Championship Conditions and any bulletins issued by the MCUI. The use of tyre warmers is allowed. Any modification (cutting, grooving) is forbidden. 8. Engine Machines will be randomly chosen for dyno testing. MCUI SUPERSPORT 300 TECHNICAL REGULATIONS (Continued 1) 9. Fuel injection system a.
