    IDK if this will be used in the US or not but…

    Here’s the video

    New ignition module, new cylinder, new plug, new wiring harness…

    Does this mean if I am going to buy one I should wait until they announce this for the US? Seems to me that if I bought one now I would have to replace some key parts to make it compliant. New to the Rotax rules so any recommendations/assistance anyone could provide would be helpful. 🙂

    p.s. And to the 206ers. No, I am not moving. Just added to what I already race. 😉

    Jeremy, if you bought a Rotax motor with the current EVO upgrades, you would very likely be able to race next season without the parts in the video. US Rotax rules have (in the past) waited an extra year before mandating the new parts to give people time to test and to ensure enough parts are on-hand for dealers and suppliers.

    Please contact your local Rotax Max dealer for details. Or, buy an X30. Or–better for your wallet–keep racing the Briggs and enjoy your time at the track and the people you are with. Spend the extra money on a grill and a big cooler.

    Just watching the video, the new cylinder is for Junior and below. The wiring harness is a good thing as the current EVO has issues. The ignition ECU has been a tech issue and quality issues. So a change there would be a good thing. As before, I would expect Rotax to offer an upgrade kit for existing engines. I have no insight, just going off past experience with Rotax.
