Safety Notice – Riders, Mechanics and Machine Examiners. Front Suspension - Excess Travel.
The SCB have been made aware that in extreme circumstances, excessive downward force of the front of the motorcycle, resulting in maximum compression of the front suspension, can cause the front mudguard securing bolt to come into contact with the front tyre.
The resulting contact between the mudguard securing bolt and tyre can cause the front wheel to lock completely.
Therefore, the recommended minimum clearance between the mudguard securing bolt and front tyre, with the front suspension fully compressed, is 15 millimetres.
Should you require any further guidance or assistance regarding this, or any Technical matters, please contact the SCB Technical Advisors;
From 2027, and in line with the requirements adopted by the Speedway League Bureau (SLB) and the national federations Polski Zwiazek Motorowy (PZM), Danmarks Motor Union (DMU) and Svenska Motorcykel - och Snoskoterforbundet (SVEMO), all riders holding an ACU licence who require start permission to compete in Polish, Danish or Swedish league racing will be required to participate in a British Speedway league competition.
