Yamaha is struggling to homologate its MotoGP bike fairing at the PortimaoTest as it is wider than the rules permit 📏 Full story ⬇️
Yamaha is having trouble homologating the fairing of its 2023 MotoGP bike, which is slightly wider than the current regulations permit at the Portugal pre-season test.According to the rules, manufacturers must homologate a fairing before the start of the season, and they must do so before going out on track on Friday of the first grand prix of the year.
Yamaha has asked FIM technical officials for the device used to measure the maximum size of the fairings in order to be homologated, as it is currently too wide under the current rules. It finally had to trim the fairing the old-fashioned way, with a saw and a file, to get it to the allowed size. "We have two fairings and we have to choose which one to go with," he added, although it has now emerged that they must also adjust the original design as it has become too wide.
