Appendix A to ROTAX MICRO MAX Homologation Documents
The following notes are additional to the details contained in these Homologation documents for the ROTAX
MICRO MAX engine (the “Engine”) and are to be read in conjunction with the specifications and details contained
therein. They form part of the Homologation documents for the Engine.
The Engine must at all times be used and be presented in strict conformity with the specifications detailed in the
homologation documents. Unless otherwise expressly permitted by Karting Australia, only Rotax OEM parts
that have been manufactured and/or supplied by Rotax for the Engine are permitted to be used in the Engine
at any time.
Neither the Engine nor any of its ancillary components may be modified other than in accordance with the Rules,
these Homologation and Technical Specification documents.
UNLESS IN THE KARTING AUSTRALIA RULES AND/OR THESE HOMOLOGATION AND
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN, THEN YOU
CANNOT.
FOR AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION
GENERAL
1. EVO ENGINE INTRODUCTION INTO AUSTRALIAN KARTING
The introduction of the Rotax EVO Engines into Australia will be separated into two distinct categories:
a. Engines that are to be used in all Rotax Pro Tour National Series Competition Classes; and
b. Engines that are to be used in non-‐Rotax Pro Tour Competition Classes including; KA TaG, Tag
125, TaG 125 Restricted, Junior Max, Rotax 125 and DD2.
2. “NON EVO”, “UPGRADED TO EVO” OR “FULL EVO 2015”
a. A “FULL EVO 2015 ENGINE” (EVO) is a complete new Rotax EVO Engine including exhaust system
as homologated by KA in 2015 and that has been purchased from IKD after 1 January 2015.
i. A FULL EVO 2015 ENGINE must use all of the EVO Components supplied save that it is
permitted for an “EVO” Engine to use a cylinder head cover that is not red, and a
crankcase that is not black.
b. An “UPGRADED TO EVO ENGINE” (EVO) is a previously homologated Junior Max, Rotax 125 or
DD2 engine (“Older Engines”) that has been wholly or partially upgraded to EVO Engine
specification by the addition of any of the Performance Components listed herein.
i. Note that for Rotax Pro Tour Competition, if any of the Performance Components are
used on the Engine, all of the Performance Components must be used.
ii. Note that for non-‐Rotax Pro Tour Competition, the Engine can be partially Upgraded to
EVO Engine specification by the use of any of the Performance Components (in which
case it will still be considered to be an “Upgraded to EVO Engine”).
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – JUNIOR (MICRO) – (A) FR 125 MAX (NON EVO) OR (B) FR 125 MAX (EVO)
AUSTRALIA - Version: 1 2 June 2015 Page: 2 of 36
iii. For the sake of absolute clarity, the EVO Exhaust System and EVO Exhaust Socket are not
designated by Rotax or IKD to be Performance Components and are not required to be
fitted to an Upgraded To EVO Engine.
c. A “NON EVO ENGINE” (NON EVO) is a previously homologated Junior Max, Rotax 125 or DD2
engine (“Older Engines”) that has not been wholly or partially upgraded to EVO Engine
specification by the addition of any of the Performance Components listed herein.
i. A “Non EVO Engine” is permitted to use the “EVO” Exhaust System, “EVO” Exhaust
Socket, “EVO” Conrod, “EVO” Crankshaft, “EVO” Piston and “EVO” Battery Holding Unit
and Switches.
3. EVO PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS
All EVO performance components are external only. EVO Performance Components are:
a. Carburettor “VHSB 34 XS” (Rotax Part no. 295 060)
b. Dellorto Ignition System with Electronic Box (Rotax part no. 666 812)
Once an engine is determined to be either “NON EVO”, or “EVO” (Includes both “UPGRADED TO EVO” and
“Full EVO 2015” Engines) the relevant Technical Specifications outlined in this document apply to that Engine.
4. The introduction of the new Rotax EVO Engine to Australian competition will be done according to the
following principles.
5. Rotax Pro Tour Events
a. Rotax World Rules as approved by KA for Australia will apply to these events commencing at
Rotax Pro Tour Round 4, 2015.
b. EVO Engines will be permitted to be used in accordance with the homologation of these engines.
c. Previously homologated Junior Max, Rotax 125 and DD2 engines (the “Older Engines”) will
remain eligible for competition in Rotax Pro Tour events.
d. There will be no parity adjustments to equalize the EVO Engines and the Older Engines in the
Rotax Pro Tour.
e. Older Engines can be upgraded at any time to full EVO Engine specification using the EVO
Performance Components.

the tin wire. The squish gap must be measured on
the left and right side in the direction of the piston
pin. The average value of the two measurements
counts.

27.55 mm with a tolerance of +0.0/-0,1 mm (A)
and 28.80 mm with a tolerance of +/- 0.2 mm (B).
A2.4 The profile of the combustion chamber insert has
to be checked with a template (ROTAX part no.
277 390). The crack of light between the template
and the profile of the combustion chamber insert
has to be the same over the whole profile.
NOTE: If the combustion chamber insert fails the
template check as described herein, detailed
measurements of the combustion chamber insert
must be taken to determine conformity or non-
conformity of the component.

Supplementary Rules specific for “Micro MAX”
to be read in conjunction with KA Technical Rules for
“Junior Max”
Micro MAX
Squish gap:
a) 125 Micro MAX Minimum = 2.40mm
b) To achieve the defined squish gap, a spacer (ROTAX part no. 626 420, same shape
as a cylinder base gasket) with at least two cylinder base gaskets (one below the
spacer and one above the spacer) must be used.
The squish gap must be measured with a certified slide gauge and by using a 3 mm
tin wire. The crankshaft must be turned by hand slowly over TDC (top dead center) to
squeeze the tin wire.
Recommended 3mm tin wire (ROTAX part no. 580 132).
The squish gap must be measured on the left and right side in the direction of the
piston pin.
The average value of the two measurements counts.
Ignition System:
Only the Dellorto Ignition System is legal to be used.
The electronic box is labeled with stickers and are still legal even if the stickers have
disappeared.
Sticker shows “666814, 125 MAX evo”
