  1. Spotted on the factory SBKs :bucktooth:

  2. Looks to be similar to the start system on the GP bikes, just located in a different place. The fact that it's on the RHS bar makes me think it'll not be used during riding. :thinkingface:
     
  3. Looks like a choke lever to me......:upyeah:

    Just in case it stalls on the grid.....

  11. It's not connected to the throttle and pulls a cable when pressed :eyes:
     
  12. It engages the flux capacitor. :bucktooth:
     
  13. A hydraulic link to the rear shock to allow it to drop the rear end for starts?

    edit - nope exige is right - pulls a cable - but still could link to rear shock
     
  14. Perhaps a cable that opens the throttles exactly the right amount, and no more, to get max permissible pit lane speed. Either that or it’s a bottle opener:D

  17. Yeah I commented before getting to your post! And then looked again!
     
  18. I thought WSBK was a production based series and everything had to be homologated unless that doesn’t apply to testing.
     
  19. Launch control?
     
  20. It can only be activated by the thumb with a closed throttle presumably, and must return when released - so doubtful :thinkingface:
