Posting for a friend who runs a Ex500 in WERA.
He wants to do a few VRRA events next year - Mosport and Calabogie - and has a Kawasaki EX500 that has been sleeved to 590cc.
It’s nativity a P4 Light bike as it would be classed as a Four Stroke Twin under 650cc. However in the rule book it says “ Cylinders may be overboard to give a maximum engine displacement of 5% over each engine limit”.
What is the engine limit that is being referred to? He interperates that as 650cc (which is the maximum for four stroke twins) so 590cc for his bike is fine. I guess +5% of that engine limit would be 682cc so he’s well within that.
When I originally read that I assumed that the engine limit referred to was the bikes original 500cc displacement but I don’t think I’m right.
I had him reach out to Michael but I’m now curious myself. Anyone have any insight or been through this themselves?
