I take it that's just for trackdays ?

Nup, they still test for racing as well but they are more lenient than the track days.

My understanding is that they are supposed to test at 2/3rds (can't remember) revs at a distance of 1m from the can and at a 45 degree angle. On the track day the guy made me hold the bike at 8k and practically climbed in the can with the noise pressure meter! I just scraped through with Leo Vince cans on the 620.

On raceday I measured a lot less as he actually did stand back etc and I held the revs at 6k'ish.

Ali failed on the track day and amused us all with his drilling of his end can and subsequent 'mechanics'

Even more amusing was when he shot the baffle out of the can later on!



I remember following Phil on that day and seeing a bit of smoke every now and then. We came in and he had a leaky fork seal. The guys threw a rope or something over a tree behind us to lift from the yoke and got the fork changed.

All in all a very amusing day!!
