New Rotax Junior CNC Engines

press release

IKD wishes to announce that at the recent AKA National Conference it was determined that Junior Rotax engines fitted with the new CNC machined Junior Rotax cylinder (part number 223994) will be fully eligible for use as of 1st January 2010.

Any Junior Rotax engines purchased from IKD from 1st July to 31st December 2009 will be supplied with the current cylinder (non CNC type) BUT will receive a CNC cylinder at no cost in January 2010.

Information on this replacement program will be included with each new engine. Therefore anyone contemplating buying a Junior Max engine has no reason to delay their purchase decision any longer.

It should be noted that there is no requirement for existing competitors to change cylinders. The current model cylinder (non CNC type) will continue to be eligible for use.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The new CNC cylinder by nature of the production process allows Rotax to further reduce any variation in engine performance from engine to engine. Although Rotax have made significant improvement in this area already over the past few years the arrival of the CNC cylinder reduces this variable even further. This is without doubt another step forward for Junior Max.

If anyone feels the need to update their current Junior engine to CNC Cylindered type, IKD has negotiated a special offer with the AKA and Rotax to make this exercise very cost effective. Effectively, anyone who has already purchased an engine from IKD (prior to 1st July 2009) can update their Junior Max engine to a CNC cylindered type by buying an upgrade kit for only $350 inc GST. It is certainly not compulsory to do this. The upgrade kit will comprise of a CNC Junior cylinder (part number 223994), piston and ring.

Limit of one upgrade kit per Junior Rotax engine. This offer will only be available during January, February and March of 2010.
