safety wiring for WERA.

plan on doing my first WERA event at Barber next month. I know WERA requires a few extra things to be safety wired and I looked in the rule book but didn't see it. Someone told me the header bolts need to be wired, can somebody confirm this so I don't waste my time.

Thanks!

Chapter 8...says it all.

chpt 8 technical requirements.

i think someone didn't try very hard with the rulebook...

 

i read through the rulebook and didn't see it, which is why i asked to confirm with you seasoned WERA racers. read it again and still don't see it in there, so i assume it's safe to say it's not required.

thanks!

 

:up: amazing how that works, ehh?

 

you guys are a tough bunch, but i didn't expect anything less though especially when it comes to rulebook questions lol. just don't wanna drive 12 hours for any surprises and i hate working on the bikes at the track.

thanks and God bless.

 

Prep it as outlined and they'll be no suprises.

 

You don't need to wire the header bolts. If you're missing anything you will likely just be asked to RTV it and get it fixed for next time.

 

Or just go all out and safety wire everything and be extra anal!

 

no one needs another asshole.

 

Make sure you safety wire the tires to the rim and when you get to the track the tires to the track. Then you should be good.

 

not sure i'll have time for that since i gotta flush my blinker fluid first.

 

Don't forget to safety-wire your Mohawk to your helmet...

 

And RTV the Neon too!!

 

What bike are yo ugoing to be racing ? Looks liek an R6 in your pic, but ,my eyes have tricked me before -
There were a few surprises on the wifes GSX-R 600 that had I not have had a buddies help with that I wouldnt have even know about - Im sure thats the kind of stuff he is looking for -

 

What on a gsxr did you come up on that u didnt have taken care of?

 

brake torque arms
oil lines
speedo and tach cables
any pressure fed lubricant line

Quick question, how would you go about safety wiring these?

Curious as to what the Brake Torque Arm is?

And what I need to pick up at my local store in order to safety wire oil lines, speedo and tach cables and pressurized lines?

 

Brake torque arms are used on older bike, just a bar running parallel with the swingarm to hold the caliper from spining with the wheel.. Newer bikes dont have these anymore.

 

^ oh okay, thats what i was thinking, I was thinking old school bikes, but just wanted to make sure, what about the pressurized lines, how are those suppose to be safety wired?

 

Can anyone answer this, I just want some clarification on how to safety wire pressurized lines
