the big boys are doing it to a point nobody at Tech is going to catch them.
I think most people know how protesting (from other riders/teams) works, not sure why you posted this other than to get a bunch of people to respond at which point you can call them crazy two stroke fans.
i dont think ive ever seen a big name bike motor apart.
not sure if you can claim at the pro level.....
Does this mean that the protest much be specific about what part of the bike is illegal? If so, Would you have to file multiple protests if you said the suspension had illegal parts as well as the engine? And does it mean that you must be specific about what part is illegal, not just what area?
Or can you simply file the protest saying that the bike has illegal parts and that covers everything?
I do think its bullshit to pull his motor down pre-race, especially for a privateer I'll bet not all the privateers have a mechanic present at the track capable of getting the added complexity of a four stroke motor apart and back together prior to practice.
I certainly hope (but highly doubt) that the AMA was told directly by Renner or his team that he ran a 144cc at Daytona to warrant the treatment he's being given. If their relying on a post on an internet forum that he "cheated" to validate their teardown; well that would seem waaay off-base in my opinion. If thats the case then maybe Mitch Payton will sign-in and post here next week that his team is running a cheater bike???

Oh and 500 you can bitch about the 2 stroke taliban as much as you would like, but even you have to admit the Renner story has been entertaining and enjoyable to watch even if you aren't rooting for him. With so many of the top guys out with injury the side stories have been making up the difference.
