AARR 5 – SUPERSTOCK 600 / 1000 Rules are intended to limit changes to the homologated motorcycle in the interests of safety. EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT AUTHORISED AND PRESCRIBED IN THIS RULE IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN As the name Stocksport implies limited modifications are allowed to the Motorcycles. Most modifications are only allowed for safety reasons. Stocksport motorcycles require a FIM homologation (see Art. FIM 2.9 and AARR 0.6). All motorcycles must comply in every respect with all the requirements for Road Racing as specified in these Regulations, unless it is equipped as such on the homologated motorcycle. The appearance from both front, rear and the profile of Superstock 600 / 1000 motorcycles must (except when otherwise stated) conform to the homologated shape (as originally produced by the manufacturer). The appearance of the exhaust system is excluded from this rule. 5.1 Discipline Specifications Superstock 600 / 1000 Superstock 4 cylinders 3 cylinders 2 cylinders 600 over 401 cc up to 600 cc over 401 cc up to 675 cc over 401 cc up to 750 cc Superstock 1000 3 and 4 cylinders 2 cylinders 4-stroke 4-stroke 4-stroke over 750 cc up to 1000 cc over 850 cc up to 1200 cc 4-stroke 4-stroke The displacement capacities must remain at the homologated size. Modifying the bore and stroke to reach class limits is not allowed. All engines must be normally aspirated. 5.2 Minimum Weights The dry weight of a homologated motorcycle is defined as the total weight of the empty motorcycle as produced by the manufacturer (after removal of fuel, vehicle number plate, tools and main stand when fitted). To confirm the dry weight a minimum of three (3) motorcycles are weighed and compared. The result is rounded off to the nearest digit. In the final inspection at the end of the race, the checked s will be weighed in the condition they were at the end of the race. At any time of the event, the weight of the whole motorcycle (including the tank) must not be less than the minimum weight. There is no tolerance on the minimum weight. During the final inspection at the end of the race, the selected motorcycles will be weighted in the condition they finished the race, and the established weight limit must be met in this condition. Nothing may be added to the motorcycle. This includes all fluids. During the practice and qualifying sessions, riders may be asked to submit their motorcycle to a weight control. In all cases the rider must comply with this request. Page 14 Superstock 600: minimum weight = dry weight minus 12 kg. see APPENDIX C: MINIMUM WEIGHTS. Superstock 1000: minimum weight = dry weight minus 12 kg. In any case the minimum weight of SStk 1000 motorcycles cannot be lower than 165 kg! see APPENDIX C: MINIMUM WEIGHTS. 5.3 Starting Number Superstock 3020 for red Superstock 3020 for red 5.4 600: Red background with yellow numbers, with the RAL colour table values being and 1003 for yellow.

Road Racing FIM SBK and SS World Championships and FIM SST Cup Regulations 145 update 22 January 2015: e) Manganese is not permitted in concentrations above 2.0 mg/L. For the present this is solely to cover possible minor contamination by other fuels. Lead replacement petrols, although basically free of lead, are not an alternative to the use of unleaded petrol. Such petrols may contain unacceptable additives not consistent with the FIM Fuel Regulations. 2.7.3 Air Only ambient air may be mixed with the fuel as an oxidant. 2.7.4 Primary tests 2.7.4.1 The FIM may require tests of fuels to be administered before, or at the time of delivery to, an event at which such fuels are to be used. 2.7.4.2 Fuel companies supplying “race” fuels (fuels other than those obtained at public fuel stations) to participating teams must submit ten litres (2 x 5 L) to the laboratory appointed by the FIM/DWO for analysis in accordance with the specification. Providing the fuel is within the specification, a certificate containing a test report number will be issued to the fuel company. The fuel company must provide a copy of the test report number to the appropriate rider/teams before they take part in a race. Contact for fuel analysis: [email protected] 2.7.5 Fuel sampling and testing 1. The FIM Superbike Technical Director has the sole responsibility for the administration and supervision during the taking of fuel samples. 2. The preferred fuel test method is gas chromatography or GC Fingerprint method. Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique for separating compounds based primarily on their volatility and polarity. Gas chromatography provides both qualitative and quantitative information for individual compounds present in a sample. Gas chromatography is widely used for the analysis of fuels. The GC Fingerprint is a comparison between the given reference and the fuel drawn from the competitor. With the fingerprint method any changes in composition and concentration of the fuel against the reference is detected. The separation is done with a non-polar column suitable for fuels analysis. The detection of the components is done with a flame ionisation detector. Page 29 Road Racing FIM SBK and SS World Championships and FIM SST Cup Regulations 146 update 22 January 2015: 3. If other test methods are required, fuel samples will be transported to the appointed laboratory by an official courier, using the appropriate containers. 4. Riders selected for fuel controls will be directed with their motorcycles to the inspection area. 5. Only new sample bottles will be used for the fuel samples. 6. The fuel to be tested will be transferred into three bottles (3 small sample containers), marked A, B and C, and identified by reference to the motorcycle from which the sample was taken. The bottles will be closed, sealed and labelled by the FIM Superbike Technical Director and/or the Fuel Analysts. 7. The Fuel Sample Declaration form will be filled out immediately, containing all information as shown on the sample sheet, including the riders’ name and race number, date and place of fuel sampling. A responsible team member will sign this declaration, after verifying that all the information is correct. 8. Sample A and B will be given to the appointed laboratory staff, present at the event for analysis or be sent to the respective laboratory by the organiser if no trackside laboratory is available. Sample B will be kept by the laboratory staff as a retained sample in case of a dispute. All samples will be accompanied by a copy of the Fuel Sample Declaration form. Costs for the analyses of sample A and B will be paid by the FIM. 9. Sample C will be handed over to the FIM for safeguarding in case of protests and/or requirement of a counter-expertise by the FIM appointed laboratory, accompanied by a copy of the Fuel Sample Declaration form. Costs for the analyses of sample C will be paid by the team concerned. 10. As soon as possible after receipt of the samples and completing the testing, the Fuel Analyst/FIM appointed laboratory will inform report the results of the fuel sample analyses directly to the FIM Superbike Technical Director, with a copy to the FIM CCR and CTI Secretariat ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). Road Racing FIM SBK and SS World Championships and FIM SST Cup Regulations 147 update 22 January 2015: 11. In the case of non-conformity, the FIM Superbike Technical Director must notify the results to- the FIM, the Race Direction and the rider/ team representative concerned. Failure of the sample to correspond to the FIM fuel specifications will result in the disqualification of the competitor. The result of the competitor’s fuel sample analysis (“A” or “B” sample) more favourable to the competitor will be taken into account. 12. Within 48 hours of the receipt of the notification of the results of the test of sample A and/or B, the team must notify the FIM and the FIM Superbike Technical Director if a counter-expertise is required (or not required) for sample C. 13. The Race Direction will take a decision at the Superbike, Supersport and Superstock Cup event immediately following the notification of the results of the final expertise. Any appeal against the decision of the Race Direction will be heard by the FIM Stewards appointed for the Superbike, Supersport and Superstock Cup event at which the Race Direction decision is taken. This will take place after the C sample has been analysed. 2.7.6 Fuel Storage Fuel must only be stored in metal, sealable containers in the competitor’s pit. Fire fighting equipment, protective devices and staff must conform to the requirements imposed by the local authorities and by-laws. The organiser must have fire extinguishers of a size and type approved by the local by-laws, available to each competitor in the pit area. 2.7.7 Coolants The only liquid engine coolants permitted other than lubricating oil shall be water or water mixed with ethyl alcohol. Page 30 APPENDIX E: SOUND LEVEL CONTROL - 2016 FIM-Regulations 2.11 SOUND LEVEL CONTROL Sound limits in force The maximum sound level shall be measured at a mean piston speed of 11 m/sec. The fixed RPM specified in Art. 2.11.6 may be used. 2.11.1 With the microphone placed at 50 cm from the exhaust pipe at an angle of 45° measured from the centre-line of the exhaust end and at the height of the exhaust pipe, but at least 20 cm above the ground. If this is not possible, the measurement can be taken 45° upwards. 2.11.2 During a sound test, motorcycles not equipped with a gear-box neutral must be placed on a stand. 2.11.3 The silencers will be marked when they are checked and it is not allowed to change them after the verification, except for any spare silencer which has also been checked and marked. 2.11.4 The rider shall keep his engine running out of gear and shall increase the engine speed until it reaches the specified Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). Measurements must be taken when the specified RPM is reached. 2.11.5 The RPM depends upon the mean piston speed corresponding to the stroke of the engine. The RPM will be given by the relationship: 30,000 x cm N= l in which: N= prescribed RPM of engine cm = fixed mean piston speed in m/s l= stroke in mm 2.11.6 Noise control Due to the similarity of the piston stroke in different engine configurations within the capacity classes, the noise test will be conducted at a fixed RPM. For reference only, the mean piston speed at which the noise test is conducted is calculated at 11 m/sec. Displacement 2 Cylinders 3 Cylinders 4 Cylinders up to 600 cc 5.500 RPM 6.500 RPM 7.000 RPM over 600 cc up to 750 cc 5.500 RPM 6.000 RPM 7.000 RPM over 750 cc 5.000 RPM 5.000 RPM 5.500 RPM 2.11.7 The maximum sound level for engines with more than on silencer will be measured on each exhaust end. 2.11.8 A motorcycle which does not comply with the maximum sound limits may be presented several times at pre-race control. 2.11.9 The surrounding sound must not exceed 90 dB/A within a 5 metres radius from the power source during tests. 2.11.10 Apparatus for noise control must be to international standard IEC 651, Type 1. The sound level meter must be equipped with a calibrator for control and adjustment of the meter during periods of use. 2.11.11 The “slow response” setting must always be used. 2.11.12 Sound control after the competition In a competition which requires a final examination of motorcycles before the results are announced, this examination must include a sound control measurement of at least the first three motorcycles listed in the final classification. At this final test, there will be a 3dB/A tolerance. 2.11.13 Sound control during a competition In a competition which requires noise control tests during the event, motorcycles must comply with the noise limits without the tolerance in Art. 2.11.
