2.9

Variable-length inlet systems are not permitted. Only one throttle control valve is permitted, which must be controlled exclusively by mechanical means (e.g. Cable) operated by the rider only. No other moving devices (except injectors) are permitted in the inlet tract before the engine intake valve. No interruption of the mechanical connection between the riders input and the throttle is allowed. Idle speed adjustment by means of and air bypass system, controlled by the ECU is allowed. Fuel injectors must be located upstream of the engine intake valves. Maximum of 2 fuel injectors and 2 independent fuel injectors drivers Fuel pressure must not exceed 5.0 bar. Other than engine sump breather gases, only air or air/fuel mixture is permitted in the inlet tract and combustion chamber. Only normal unleaded fuel with a maximum lead content of 0.005 g/l (unleaded) and a maximum MON of 90 (see also Art. 2.11.2 FIM Technical Rules for Grand 2011) is allowed. Any quality of oil may be used. Exhaust System

Materials & Construction

Construction materials must comply with Article 2.7.10 of the FIM Grand Prix Regulations. Camshafts, crankshafts and piston pins must be made from Iron-based alloys. Engine crankcases, cylinder blocks and cylinder heads must be made from cast aluminium alloys. Pistons must be made from an aluminium alloy. Connecting rods, valves and valve springs must be made from Esther Ironbased or Titanium-based alloys. X-Alloy means the element X (e.g. Fe, for Iron based alloy) must be the most abundant element in the alloy, on a % w/w basis. General

RR09.9 9.1

RR09.10 Numbers & Backgrounds 10.1 The front plate must be located in the middle of the fairings front or on the side facing the official time keeping staff. 10.2 Rear or side numbers are optional. If they are fitted, must govern the same rules as the front. 10.3 The dimensions for the number plates must be: 140mm x 25mm minimum. Numbers from 1 to 9 can be wider. Only numbers between 1 and 99 will be admitted. 10.4 Backgrounds must be of one single colour over an area large enough to provide a minimum clear area of 25 mm around the numbers. 10.5 In case of a dispute concerning the legibility of numbers, the decision of the Chief Technical Steward will be final. The numbers and backgrounds will be as follows: Background Number White Black
