MotorCycle Fun
Hi everyone.
Ive been wanting to have a go at salt racing for a while now and I have finally decided to give it a crack this year.
I have the Bike and want to enter into the PP Class.
Ive got a fair amount of experence at racing bikes on the circuit and at the strip.
Ive been reading the rule book and I wanted to ask a few questions?
Section 7.B.23 How does one rig this up? I was thinking its easy enough to run a pull pill to the dash that kills the fuel pump by killing the power.
Section 7.B.24 Is this not the same as above?
If this can be answered ... Im in
Cheers
Anthony

And Section 7.B.24 Petrol Shutoff, is this just the kill switch next to the throttle?
Thanks in advance

I see the problem its
7.B.2.3 Fuel Pump Stop Switch
La n y a rd :
All motorcycles must be equipped with
a tether type mechanical device attached to the vehicle
and the rider, so the electric fuel pump if so equipped,
is shut off if the rider becomes separated from the
motorcycle.
I bought one from eBay and fitted it to the right side handlebar abd spliced it into the kill switch

Lanyard :
All motorcycles must be equipped with
a tether type mechanical device attached to the vehicle
and the rider, so the electric fuel pump if so equipped,
is shut off if the rider becomes separated from the
motorcycle.
Probly if the 1 lanyard killed the ignition it would also kill the fuel pump? (your bike is fuel injected?)
If not you might be able to put it into the earth circuit to kill every thing when activated maybe.
Just a thought as my bike has no fuel pump
7B.2.4 Petrol shut o f f :
Gas
motorcycles must have petrol shut off operable from a
normal riding position.
I read this as you petrol tap, but if its fuel injected im not sure what the story is.
Perhaps Dirty Dave might have some ideas as im on a fairly sharp learning curve as well this year being my first time as a competitor.

Thanks Gents,

Is what I was thinking and your comments have confirmed what I needed.
I will take you up on that offer Gary and will call you in the next few days.
The bike is injected so there isnt a fuel tap to worry about.
Cheers
Anthony
