Bike Setup

A Road Racing set up is very different to ride days or track days. There are a very specific set of requirements that must be met to comply with the Manual of Motorcycle Sport (MoMs) before you take your bike on the track to commence racing. Bikes will be checked by a technical inspection officer at every race meeting.

For full details, please refer to the most current version of the Manual of Motorcycle Sport on the Motorcycling Australia website.

St George Motorcycle Club has also created a ‘pre-race’ Road Race Motorcycle Preparation Guide for riders to run through prior to a race event. ROAD RACING MOTORCYCLE PREPARATION GUIDE

See the video below for a demonstration from one of our riders and partners, who will demonstrate the key points to setting up a race bike.

Rider Gear

Once your bike has been set up you also need to make sure you are ready for racing. All rider gear will be checked by a technical inspection officer before each race meeting.

Here are some of the key points to consider:

  • Helmet – Approved standard, no full depth scratches, note the serial number
  • Leathers – one piece or two piece attached with a zipper, no tears or holes
  • Back protector – separate or integrated into leathers
  • Boots – good overall condition, no sharp edges
  • Gloves – good overall condition, no tears or holes
