    Regarding 5.2.2 Technical Requirements for Novice, Amateur, and Expert Competition Motorcycles, add a recommendation for a brake lever guard.

    This would be similar to the recommendation for a toe guard.

    Wording:
    On applicable models, a brake lever guard is recommended to prevent accidental application of the front brake when racing in close quarters.

    Reason for new recommendation:
    This is a safety item. Additionally, this is a requirement when racing nationally.

    It is there under section Q, although maybe the chain guard and brake guard should be separated into two sections?
    Q.
    On applicable models, a shark fin or chain guard is recommended to prevent
    a rider’s toes or fingers from getting caught in the sprocket. A brake guard is
    recommended to prevent accidental contact of the front brake lever.
