"• Should the average value of the 'event averages' over 3 events favour the 1200cc 2 cylinders by more than 5 points, and if a rider of a machine with this configuration is leading the riders' Superbike World Championship standings at that time, then the minimum weight of all 1200cc 2 cylinders will be increased by 3kg. The upper limit is 171 kg.
"• Should average value of the 'event averages' over 3 events favour the 1000cc 4 cylinders by more than 5 points, and if a rider of a machine with this configuration is leading the riders' Superbike World Championship standings at that time, then the minimum weight of all 1200cc 2 cylinders will be reduced by 3 kg. The lower limit is 162 kg.
"If the minimum weight is not updated, then the results of three more events will be considered, and a new average value of the 'event averages' will be calculated over six events and so on, over multiples of three events, until the points gap of the average value of the 'event averages' from the last minimum weight update is higher than 5.
"The Superbike Technical Director will inform all the teams about the possible minimum weight adjustments, within 24 hours from the end of the last event (the last meeting of the International Jury) where the average value of the 'event averages' was calculated. The new minimum weight adjustments must be applied from the first following event."
"The ballast must be made from solid metallic piece/s, firmly, securely connected, either through an adapter or directly to the main frame or engine, with minimum 2 steel bolts (min. 8 mm diameter, 8.8 grade or over).
"Fuel in the fuel tank can be used as ballast. Nevertheless, the verified weight may never fall below the required minimum weight."
Air Restrictor adjustment
"The minimum air restrictor size is increased or decreased in 2 mm steps in diameter of equivalent circular area, according to following procedure:
"1. - If the minimum weight of the 1200cc 2 cylinders configuration has reached the lower limit of 162 kg and,
"- if the resulting gap in the average value of 'event averages' is more than 5 points in favour of the 1000 cc 4- cylinders and,
