When we were racing supermoto, we were *not* requiring belly pans.

Bart can speak to this, but basically the purpose of a bellypan is to prevent catastrophic oil release such as that caused by a thrown rod. Multi cylinder motors have the potential to do much more oil spreading than a single, since a single will stop with a busted rod, whereas a 4 cylinder will keep whipping the rod around and carve through the cases.

That's similar to the reasoning behind 5.2.CC. exempting 2-strokes from needing a bellypan.

It's Ray's call, not Tbag's! [-X
