No Modifications - what does it mean I have read recently on another website about a DD bike having its crankshaft balanced. From previous experience of this type of work it usually include one of the following Grinding Metal away Drilling or Milling away metal Weldiing to add metal Now with the DD rules concerning Crankshafts having remained unchanged in this area since the very first set of rule for the 2005 Season V1.01 up to the latest set of rules, they have always stated NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE CRANKSHAFT ARE ALLOWED. Current rule reads 1.6.21 Crankshaft No modifications are allowed (including polishing and lightening). So how the hell do you get them balanced, even by normal methods which would be in breach of the rules its about £160 to balance a Ducati Crankshaft I thought we were trying to keep the racing cheap especially class B and as such we don't need costs like this creeping in, after all if you can't split and rebuild your engine yourself the overall bill is going to add up to quite a bit more than I have paid for a spare engine Checkout the Desmo Due Paddock on Facebook |
