Hi all - I am preparing my 1972 manufacture 750 Combat Cylinder Head for bead blasting and am looking for conformation on the number of oil ways so that I may block them as well as possible then clear and clean them afterwords .

So what was the outcome from the Club AGM in Liverpool? I delayed phoning a couple of people expecting that there would soon be news and chat on here, but it's all very quiet. I could not attend due to a major family commitment.

My son's Honda CBR600RR didn't start after the winter. So he simply borrowed one of my bikes and went away to first track day for the year. Leaving the plastic missile in the workshop. Figured out that most probable was fuel pump fail.

Hi got a problem when engaging first geat the gear dogs catch the kickstart gear and jam the gearbox up ,only happens in first have riddenthe bike a good few mile using 2nd 3rd and top with no problems ,any body got any parts for sale ,main shaft

I'm an extraordinarily disorganized person and I can't find any of the three repair manuals I own for my 1971 Roadster.

I want to test the output of the alternator on my Mk2a Commando, using a multimeter can anyone tell me what readings to expect assuming all is well?

A friend has an 850 Mark 2A and it is jumping out of 4th gear when the bike gets to about 50mph (80kph). Either into neutral or sometimes back into 3rd. I've done some research but most relate to jumping out of 1st gear.

I phoned ANIL up with a list of bits I needed and went down to collect them 2 hours later. Although they are busy, there was time for a short natter. 

All the parts were clearly identified, well wrapped, and fitted perfectly.

After previously owning a '75 Commando, I bought a '65 Electra project in October that had been sitting for 25 years and had not started before that for an unknown period.

Hi, Does anybody know the angle of the valve seats for the 350 Navigator 1961. Only I am looking to buy a re-seating tool.

Many Thanks.

Hi,
Could anyone please help with detail of the exhaust valve lifter parts for a 1930 500cc overhead valve Norton?
My model 20 is missing the complete assembly which I think consists of three parts.

I am wondering if any members are contemplating attending this year´s event.   I have been five times, but skipped the past two years.   Not for the faint hearted, most of the "runs" are over 100 miles, but, the mountain scenery is amazing.   For

During a recent top end overhaul, I discovered my ´54 88 had been fitted with 68mm. (600cc.

My neighbor's XS650 wouldn't start the other day and I suspected a bad battery. I hooked jumper cables to it from my 2004 Toyota pickup but got no spark. He put a new battery on it, got spark and it ran like a champ.

My 71 commando started cutting out on idle so I serviced the twin carbs (new jets, floats etc). The problem remained and then I noticed that the LH exhaust was hot fairly quickly after starting but the RH exhaust was cold.

Is there a side stand for the Model 18 Rigid frame?

Changed my bike from 6 to 12 volt. Do I have to change the 6 volt ammeter to 12 volts.

Regards

John.

 I have a new wiring harness and a fairly new 12V 6A battery on my Electra which reads near 13V with no load and drops to just over 9V when the starer is engaged.  Should it fall this far?

Although the pistons appear fine and run quietly I have found that the top rings appear to have too much clearance in the grooves (at least 5+ thou)  2nd rings about 4 thou, Was thinking of replacing rings but the new ones are no thicker so the we

I have removed the front Isoelastic engine mounting. The rubbers look shot although I havn't removed the  rubbers yet.
