Proposed Production Class Rules for the 2007 Nationals
and the 2008 Victorian MX season.
Production Classes: 50cc Div 1, 5cc Div 2.
90cc 2st. --- 110cc 4st. ( Capacities under review )
Senior Production.
Eligibility: All production classes are to be based on commercially
and readily available Quads sold on the open market in Australia
or Overseas.
1) Engines: All engines must remain standard as produced
and sold by the manufacturer, no material may be removed
by grinding, polishing, machining or cutting from any casing
,casting, reciprocating parts, transmissions, manifolds,
clutch components, vee drives or sheaves, apart from cylinder
reboring if the OEM offers oversize pistons/rings, with
the exception that Generically engineered and/or manufactured
engines may cross use engine components for reconditioning
purposes, all cylinder head and base gaskets must be of
the same type, material and thickness as standard. No AFTERMARKET
pistons, rings, camshafts, valves / valve springs, manifolds,
reed valves, reed blocks, clutch springs, clutch weights
or sheaves may be used under any circumstances.
2) Frames: All frames must remain standard, frames may
be repaired but must not be gusseted, braced, stiffened
or strengthened, all engine mounts, mounting brackets and
mounting hardware must remain standard
Nerf bars or foot mounting boards must be fitted, foot pegs
may be changed if integrated with nerf bars, foot pegs or
mounting boards may be raised in the 50cc classes to accommodate
the short stature of some competitors but their position
must remain as standard.
Axles, “ A “ Arms, swingarms and all steering
components must remain as standard, steering dampers may
be fitted, steering stems may be repaired but must remain
of standard length, handle bar risers or mounting adaptors
may be used, handle bars, grips, clutch perches, levers
and throttle mechanisms may be changed, subframes may be
repaired but must remain as standard no Aftermarket subframes
may be used.
All bodywork and hardware must remain as standard, no cut
down mudguards are permitted, seat covers may be changed
but the height and contour must remain as standard.
3) Brakes: All brake lines, disc rotors, callipers, master
cylinders, wheel cylinders, brake drums and cables must
remain as standard, friction materials and fluids are free,
park brake levers and actuators may be removed and block
off plates may be fitted.
4) Exhaust systems: Spark arrestors may be removed provided
they only unbolt or unrivet and require no cutting or grinding
to remove, slip on mufflers may be used provided they do
not require cutting ,grinding or welding to remove the original
muffler or facilitate the fitting of the slip on replacement,
all header and intermediate pipes must remain as standard,
no full length Aftermarket or alternate model exhaust systems
may be fitted under any circumstances, all exhaust modifications
will be subject to current and/ or future GCR`s regarding
noise emissions.
5) Air filters: All air filters must remain as standard
fitment, filter element may be changed provide that it is
the same shape and fitment as the OEM filter/filters and
elements, Air box lids may be removed.
6) Fuel systems: All carburettors, EFI Throttle bodies
and injector nozzles must remain as standard, carburettor
main jets, pilot jets and needles may be changed, EFI fuel
mapping modules may be used providing they are used in conjunction
with and do not replace the OEM engine control unit (ECU)
or computer and do alter ignition timing, duration, dwell
or alter rev limits or rev limiters, no Aftermarket or Race
kit ECU`s are permitted under any circumstances, Fuel as
per GCR 12.9.
7) Suspension: Internal valving, oil, gas, pistons and
springs may be changed, External springs may also be changed
provided the same type of spring is used (i.e single rate
replaces single rate etc.), all shock absorber bodies, shafts,
assembled lengths, link`s, link ratio`s, mounting points
and mounting components must remain as standard, no Aftermarket
shock absorbers or suspension hardware can be used under
any circumstances.
8) Wheels and Tyres: Tyres are free, Aftermarket wheels
may be used provided they are of the same material, structure
and offset as the OEM wheels, no wheels spacers or the reversing
of rims is permitted.
9) Electrical systems; Tether type kill switches must be
fitted and operational, all GLASS lenses must be removed,
removal of all other lights, lenses and horns is recommended
but not compulsory, switch assemblies may be removed or
replaced to simplify their operation, any wiring removed
from switch gear, lights etc. Must only be removed to the
closest electrical connectors no cutting of the wiring loom
is allowed except to facilitate the fitting of the tether
type kill switch, no Race kit wiring looms are permitted,
alternators, generators, regulators, rectifiers, batteries
and ignition systems must remain as standard, no offset
keyways, no Aftermarket ignition reluctors, igniters, electronic
control units (ECU`S), CDI`s, ignition control units ( ICU`S),
ignition coils, or timing alteration devises or modifications
are permitted under any circumstances.
10) Cooling systems: Coolant as per GCR`s, all radiators,
cooling fans and fins must remain as standard, radiator
materials, mounting points, mounting hardware, hoses thermatic
or mechanical fans and any and all cooling ducting must
remain as standard.
Footnote: If it has not been specifically allowed within
these rules then you must assume it cannot be done.
