Batteries?
 

As I've mislaid the rules for 2006, can anyone please remind me what they say regarding batteries in Class A?

Oh, and airboxes?

And why does it think its the 4th when the pub has only just shut?

Ta, Paul

Paul,batteries ARE allowed as are airboxes (subject to a vote!)
All batteries must have a minimum weight of 25 kilos in 583 ,and in 620,s they must be carried and securely strapped down on the trailer.
The only exeptions to these rules are where the rider is over 50 years of age,they can run with no battery and are also eligable for treble points at any rounds run on a weekend!:lol:
Butch

Surely if the rider is over 50 then he/she will need a lot of batteries to keep him/her going?

:puzzled:

Correct,obviously the RC have taken that into account when drafting the rules.
By the way is there anyone over 50 in the series?
Butch

I thought that was you?

Alan:P

Oh yes (bloody memory!)
Must go,got to find some taupe leathers to go with the beige bike!:P
Butch

So, are you sponsored by Saga Butch?

GOT saga,stanner stairlifts,advanced funeral plans,sanatogen,them people that make the walk in baths,and a free carrage clock!:lol::lol:
Butch

All that, and no free parker pen? You've been had Butch!

Oh yeah, did you get the bus pass sorted for transport between rounds?

Paul - battery must be any OE applicable to that model, according to the rules..........

Airbox: this is free.......:lol: you can use an airfilter if you wish
To me, this means you can even remove the whole airbox if you like

Alan

Swapped the parker for some incontinence pants,got the bus pass(henry,s given me his) meals on wheels are doing me lunches at all rounds (apart from cadwell-they say its too far!).
Can i wear a tanktop under my leathers?
Butch

Thanks Alan. Bit of shame as I have found room for a titchy little 998 Corse one, but will have to figure where I can put the std one........

Cue hilarious "wit"

Oy,get off our thread!
:lol:
Butch

Paul, you could try asking the RC's view of using a gel battery tho?
Not OE to the older models I grant you, but is used on the later bikes.

In fact, what prob would anyone have with competitors using batteries which are easily obtained that will fit these bikes?
I had also looked at the little DUCATI OE ones from other bikes too.
We have gel one on the 620 & std lump of stone in the 583.

Alan

Hi Alan,

Is there a big difference of weight between those 2 types of battery (in kilos please :lol: ).

No Tonio, not at all.

The gel batteries are a bit smaller - but they can be laid on their side (or even upside down!) if you need to put the battery elsewhere on the bike, or need more space.

ps: tried to reply straight away but website crashed again!:(

:eureka::eureka:

Paul - just dragged out the rule book:

Rule 1.6.14 Battery: The size & type of battery must be from an OEM Ducati Fitment

That might just help you mate

Got it, thanks Charlotte.
So I know who do the mechanic in the KRR team ;)
