Elka Suspension Spring Kits approved
for use in GNCC Stock ATV Class
Quebec, Canada (4/21/2006) - New GNCC
Rules allow the use of Elka Suspension spring kits in
Stock ATV Class.
Elka Suspension is a leading manufacturer of high-performance
suspension systems for racing and recreational motorsport
applications that has revolutionized the industry in

quality products and fast delivery time.
A recent modification was made to the GNCC Rules about
suspension modifications. The new modified rule allows
the riders to use Elka Suspension spring kits over the
stock strutts, thus providing personalization to the
rider's weight while reducing body roll. Elka offers
spring kits for the Kawasaki Prairie 650/700 and the
Suzuki Twin Peaks 700. For more information, call us

FROM THE OFFICIAL GNCC RACING WEBSITE:
April 3, 2006 - Effective immediately, the
following rule change has been made to the Stock ATV
Rule:
Stock front suspension springs may be replaced by aftermarket
front suspension springs on ATV models using a strut-type
front suspension.
This change was made after considerable evaluation.
The move primarily affects the Kawasaki Prairie 650/700
and the Suzuki Twin Peaks 700 in the Utility Stock Class.
The full rule reads:
Stock (ATV) - All motor components and rear suspension
must remain stock. Aftermarket replacement parts may
be used so long as they maintain the same basic design
and material of OEM parts, do not improve motor performance,
add travel to the suspension, or have a reservoir. Example:
must have stock pipe, silencer, carburetor, air box,
air cleaner, rear shocks, etc.... May change tires (excluding
Tire Balls), wheels, throttle assembly, axle, handlebars
(excluding handlebars with bushings), grips, skid plates,
plastics and seat covers, including those that add traction
(but do not change seat height). May add bead locks,
nerf bars, foot peg extensions (but not foot pegs),
and open or closed-end metal or plastic handguards.
May not add larger fuel tanks, quick-fill fuel systems,
steering stabilizers, steering stems, automatic clutches,
air filter sleeves, front shock reservoirs, or modify
or remove front shock reservoirs from machines that
come equipped with them. May change ! front shocks on
ATVs that do not come with rebuildable stock front shocks,
but may not replace the front shocks on ATVs that do
come with rebuildable units stock (like the YFZ450).
Only machines that come equipped with front reservoirs
stock may run them. Shock valving may not be changed,
and suspension springs and/or preload may be changed
with original manufacturer parts only of current or
previous years models.
Stock rule effective 4/03/06:
Stock front suspension springs may be replaced by aftermarket
front suspension springs on ATV models using a strut-type
front suspension.
