Dear Rotax Customer,

Unfortunately rumors have been noticed concerning Rotax part no. 265571 “extension wire/pigtail” ignition coils

having a perceived performance advantage.

To cure this situation, BRP-Rotax has decided that the ignition coils with extension wire will no longer be legal

within the Rotax Max Challenge (RMC) regulations 2012 (valid as of January 1, 2012) for ALL engine classes

(Micro, Mini, Junior and Senior).

To support those customers in possession of ignition coils with extension wires, BRP-rotax will oer an exchange

campaign for these coils.

Within the dened timeframe of December 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, customers can return the coils

(marked with the number 265571 on the housing) to their ROTAX service cetners/dealers which will exchange

their ignition coil FREE OF CHARGE with a new ignition coil.

PLEASE NOTE: 265 578 does NOT include a spark plug cap!

EXCHANGE CAMPAIGN – IGNITION COILS 265 571

Timeframe: December 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012

Rotax Pan American Flyer

Pan American Rotax Challenge Series officials are pleased to announce that the final details on the schedule and format are set. Several adjustments have been made to the original plans including reducing the number of events from 4 to 3 for the first season. Because of a very full race calendar in the US and Canada it was decided the August date at F-1 New Jersey would not be part of the 2010
program. This long waited series will start its inaugural season in April at MSR Houston, located in Angleton, Texas 30 minutes south of Houston. This is a true international series, patterned after the very
successful Rotax Euro Challenge. Drivers from all nations are welcome to attend and future plans are for Pan American Series races to be held in Canada, Mexico and South American countries as the
program grows. Discussions for a 2011 date in Canada are already underway. The 3 events are;

*April 23-35 MSR Houston
* June 11-13 New Castle Motorsports Park (Note: the Pan American race at New Castle will take the place of the annual Rotax Summer Shootout)
* September 3-5 California Speedway

The 6 race series will crown champions at the end and award 7 spots to the 4 Rotax Grand Finals
classes;

*Junior Max – 2
* Senior Max – 2
* DD2 – 2
* DD2 Masters – 1

The three events include a Friday official practice, Saturday-Sunday format of Qualifying, Pre-Final and Final each day. One set of tires is allowed each race day for Junior and Senior classes. Mini Max and
Micro Max will use the same tires for both days. Drivers will pick up their tires each morning for races that day. Seven classes will compete at each event. The new class this year is a dedicated DD 2 Masters (415lbs). This class will also compete at the 2010 Rotax Grand Finals for the first time. Each weekend competitors will be able to earn points for finishes in the Pre-Final and Final of each day.
The top five qualifiers will also earn points each day.

INFORMATION ON CYLINDERS

Dear ROTAX customer!

We would like to inform you about following news.

New cylinder generation.

BRP-Powertrain has introduced a new cylinder generation into serial production for all
• 125 Junior MAX (part no. 223 994)
• 125 MAX (part no. 223 993) and
• 125 MAX DD2 (part no. 613 933) engines.

The specific features of the new cylinders are:
• CNC machining all around the exhaust port to minimize the tolerances of exhaust port timing.
• CNC machining of the chamfer around the exhaust port to minimize variation of appearance and to improve durability of piston and piston ring.
• CNC machining of the top edge of the central boost port to minimize the tolerance of port timing.
The CNC machining all around the exhaust port will allow the technical scrutineer to confirm the original condition of the cylinder more easily.

The new cylinders can be retrofitted to all existing ROTAX MAX engines on the market.

Sale – old type cylinders

Old type cylinders
• 125 Junior MAX (part no. 223 998)
• 125 MAX (part no. 223 996) and
• 125 MAX DD2 (part no. 613 931)
