If you haven't already seen my post at NG then you might be interested to read this:
"One of the problems I can see is that the rules were designed around SV650's so, where certain mods that give a performance boost to an SV are not specifically excluded, this automatically discriminates against other bikes because either they don't work on those other bikes are they can't physically be done on those other bikes.
See below for such an example."
"Ironically, with an SV you can jack up the tank to allow more fresh air in and effectively increase the airbox volume as the tank forms part of the seal to the air filter. This is a well-known mod that gives serious power increases in the mid-range and a few more at the top end. This is permissible under the existing rules.
Yet you are not being allowed a DP airbox lid or a few extra holes in your airbox.
That doesn't seem right to me. "
Clearly here the application of the rules favours the Suzuki.
