I found this today: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2006/Sep/06092600.htm

This doesn't seem to fit the discription of true traction control as I know it (as it would relate to cars), but even still most race organizations prohibit traction control, and on the fly selective mapping. I assume that this is because these features arn't normally available on a production bike and are only found on purpose built race bikes. With Suzuki adding selective mapping to it's production GSX-Rs, do you think we will start seeing a wide spread rule change?

I would have posted a reference to the rule books, but I could find where I saw the prohabitions.

Won't be long before rider input will be truly fly-by-wire.

Moto GP, WSB and BSB run traction control.

THEY HAVE FOR A WHILE NOW!

That "Traction Control" is a very vague rule in the racing world.

"Moto GP, WSB and BSB run traction control."

I was thinking more of club level and AMA. I haven't followed BSB, and I didn't know WSB allows traction control.

a catalyzer and a oxygen sensor equipped closed loop engine management system work in conjunction to reduce emissions and improve engine efficiency.


Kudos to Suzuki, it only took them eight years to catch up with Buell's more advanced EFI technology.
