    Hey, I've heard that bike prep for minis is a little different than full-sized bikes. I've got a Benelli 135 I want to run next season, what needs to be done?

    I believe so. Basic safety tech inspection for the minis -- similar to a track day tech inspection -- plus, I would think, the following:

    kickstarter secured
    oil drain plug(s)
    safety wire oil filter, oil drain plug and oil filler cap
    catch can

    Chapter 8, of the wera rule book, applies to big bikes:

    The following item must be safety wired, or secured in a manner approved by Tech:


    axles or axle nuts
    oil filler caps
    kickstarter retaining bolts
    axle caps and/or pinch bolts
    oil drain plug(s)
    removable exhaust baffles
    brake caliper bolts
    *oil gallery plugs
    radiator caps
    brake torque arms
    oil lines
    coolant drains
    speedo and tach cables
    spin on oil filters/filter bolts
    any pressure fed lubricant line
    *fork oil drain screws/bolts
    rear exhaust mount(s) (all)
    *brake pad retaining pins

    *may be secured by silicone glue in lieu of wiring.
    a1)Substantial gauge “R” type spring clips may be used in certain applications but must be wired to the machine. Tab washers designed to accept safety wire may be used. Safety pin style clips may be used on most items but NOT on oil drains or oil filters or any fluid lines/fluid holding bolts.
    a2)A catch can shall be fitted where required or at the direction of a Technical Inspector.
