- You don't even need the rear control arms unless your...

I'll be blunt. Nothing that has happened in the results the last 2 years should have anything to do with this classing. People ran without tunes. People are running parts that aren't optimized...

I'm not particularly worried because STX numbers are nice, but last couple of national events that I've attended, I've heard a LOT of comments on STR twin versus STX twin times.

I went back and looked at some of my vids from SSC on the 615's. They weren't as loud or as constant as I recall, but definitely some noise.

I'm totally with Ken that the tune probably isn't going to be enough to put them even with the ND's.

However, I don't think it is a good idea to class them aggressively until a tune is available.

Plus it is legal to remove a plastic engine cover if it only serves cosmetic or acoustic purposes.
