There are many stumbling blocks to electromagnetic valve actuation (EVA), but a research group in the Control and Automation Laboratory of the University of British Columbia has created a new type of actuator that may make EVA a very realistic option in the not-too-distant future.

Trevitt’s Blog: What’s a Qualifying Tire Worth? https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/ https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/#respond Tue, 06 Sep 2016 19:23:50 +0000 https://dev.insidemotorcycles.com/trevitt-s-blog-what-s-a-qualifying-tire-worth/ At the final rounds of this year's Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship series, held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Dunlop offered qualifying tires to the top 10 riders for a separate, 15-minute final qualifying session. This was new for many of the competitors, as qualifying tires have not been used in the series for several years. Jeff Williams was one of the riders in the top-10 session, and I was able to get some data from the Accelerated Technologies Honda CBR1000RR that he was riding for the weekend.

The event started off on the right foot as Barkley cruised to a smooth opening pass of 7.64/180 mph on the EB Speed turbocharged Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Ethan Barkley – CMDRA Fort St. John race report https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/ethan-barkley-cmdra-fort-st-john-race-report/ https://www.insidemotorcycles.com/ethan-barkley-cmdra-fort-st-john-race-report/#respond Wed, 03 Sep 2014 18:46:33 +0000 https://dev.insidemotorcycles.com/ethan-barkley-cmdra-fort-st-john-race-report/ A rule change went through since the last event which now means the Pro Street class has an option to run a 7" slick. This was in response to the less than stellar grip levels at many of the tracks in the past. This tire change is meant to offer the riders increased safety as well as more consistent performance so that they can tune better and ultimately put on a better show for the fans.
