Anyone know if the layshaft bearing can be replaced without removing the gearbox from the frame. I suppose it can be done but does it make any sense to remove the box?

I want to replace with the later superblend.

Hi

I will be heading off to Netley Marsh Autojumble, next Saturday, and selling off all my 750, 650, Model 7, 99 and 99SS spares at bargain prices.

In Mac's pinking post he mentions the needle is in the lowest groove, the rich needle position. I have a 1974 850 with twin carburettors and the needles are in the highest groove. Is this correct for my 850?

Attached picture shows some rockers in my collection of spares. I have had a box of them sitting around for quite a while and know that they are not off any twin engine I have worked on.

Hi just introducing myself to other members, i have just recently purchased two commando"s , one a 1967 commando with a wideline featherbed frame completed by JMC restorations, the other a 1978 Mk111 850 and enjoying every moment on it.

After owning '69 Bonneville, '67 and '70 Daytona ( and a few screaming Japanese 2 strokes ) I cleared out my collection ( with the exception of Lil Smokey RD125B ) in search of my dream bike - a 1973 Commando 850.

Hello All

the v4 looks great. hope it does well. along with the new 650.

Hi All,

I posted this in the Website suggestions section originally, but thought it would fit in here as well:

My Boyer is about 35 years old and after a period of poor starting the spark appears weak. new 6v coils, copper leads, no resistor plug caps, N7Y etc.

When I added to a thread I wanted to quote a line of text from an earlier response and put the words in italics to emphasise the fact that it was a quote.

This is a job I can no longer avoid.

I have been quoted £70 by a local motorcycle dealership.
