Re: Traction Control Legal in AMA SB and FX
So will the Ducs be more competitive now? What will this mean for privateers? Who's that dude? Amar Bazazz or something who's company (I think it's BMP) that is like the father of traction control or something. Is his phone ringing off the hook now?

Bazzaz worked for Yosh a few years back and is one of THE reasons both Yosh and Mladin became so successful. He left to start up his own company - BPD.
The guy is a genius.

Re: Traction Control Legal in AMA SB and FX
Technically the GSXR already has a form of traction control. In the 1000 and I believe the 600/750 they use the Ignition advance system to limit power in 1st and 2nd gears. This is why the TRE mod is so common for the Suzuki's as well as eliminating the Top Speed limiter in 5th and 6th

Most likely it will be like having a 4x4 truck, it only guarantees that you get stuck further away. Meaning people that don't learn to be smooth will get them selves into allot of trouble

Re: Traction Control Legal in AMA SB and FX
I think the ducs will do better now. Especially at tracks with low speed corners where traction in the lower gears is paramount. Assuming the PU Ducati team gets the stuff from Ducati Corse... They already run marelli so it should be just an add-on I suppose...

Does this also mean the hondas will continue to struggle?
