  • SCORING AND POSITIONS:

  • Should this bracket not be securely fitted then no transponder scoring will be available and consequently no lap times or positions will be available.
  • Secure the bracket to your bike with the R Clip at the top (bracket vertical). Position the bracket away from mechanical parts and all heat sources. 
  • The bracket should ideally be fixed to the framework using two tie wraps . If tie wraps are used then two must be used, each tie wrap should be no more than 3mm and should sit inside the groove and not over. 
  • When you are allocated a transponder please fix it to your bracket and push the R Pin securing tag all the way through the locating hole. 
  • Once on the bike the transponder is the responsibility of the team.  You should ensure that it is fixed correctly and will not fall off or become damaged. 
  • You must ensure that the transponder is returned prior to exiting the circuit on each day of racing. The bmf pay a deposit on each device and do not want to lose this money. 
  • Loss or damage to any transponder will incur the replacement cost of £225.
