Hi JB. They are asking for suggestions for NEW parts to be made for//by them for Rotarys. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Give them your thoughts i.e. Rotor bearings side plates what ever. You never know if enough people want a part it may well happen. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Over on FB AN are asking for sugestions for them to manufacture parts for Rotarys. Join in please

Thanks for that Clive. It was just I was supprised as to how strong it is. I took my discs up to ABE on Friday 3rd, and have ordered a new set of three. They also offer a face grinding service. So as mine have only a minimal run out of 0.005 & 0.007 on the other disc I have requested that the front ...

Hi Mick Taylor can you put up a picture of your new discs? the old picture isn't available to me anymore. I am off to ABE on friday the 3rd to get a new set of Spondon Stainless? discs. i question the word stainless as my discs whilst still bright and look like stainless must be a very low quality s...

Hi J B there is a cheap? Fuel in Broom field beware, I'm just saying

Beware of cheap diesel, it is very likely to sludge up. Now the weather Is going to Get colder its better to get the better quality fuel. Or risk a blocked fuel filter.
P S don't ask !!

Stick to Esso top grade. It doesn't have any E in it.

Hi J B the forks bottom out. Sometimes the guard touches the front brake junction manifold. I'll add some more oil as you sugested. Thanks Mick.

I suspect that a P O has changed/ messed about with the front springs on my Classic. Is their a way of beefing the front end up. On my Commander I cut the springs down then replaced the removed portion with a alloy billet. Any advice welcome.

Can anyone confirm that Popham is still on ! As it in in rather a open and wet area ?

Thank you David Mick

Can some one give me the club magazine editor email please

Back from Spa on Monday evening. Some great roads and a great track. A good weekend with some good friends. I'll send a few words with some pictures to the mag editor. If you get a chance to visit the Spar track then it's a must, amazing place.

Hi J B You aren't the only one to suffer dodgy plugs. The Wiz team lost a plug in the 4 hour race. On first inspection at it looked ok, but then they saw that a small crack in the porcelain. Lost an hour spotting this.

I along with some others I am off to Spa next weekend. Along with the 4 hour Classic, can any anyone recommend anything to have a lookout for?

All sorted thanks

Can anyone tell me how much and how to replenish the oil in my Classic forks! I'm sure it's an age thing but I can't find where I stored the information. Thanks Mick

Thanks Richard & John. I use a disc lok at the mo but agree with John remember it's ON

II brought a new steering lock for my bike, but can someone tell me how it works? Getting the old one out is simple but replacing it results in just filling the hole !! Mick. A puzzled Classic Owner

Thanks Joe we are looking at Spa. With a bit more interest now as Wiz will be there! Hopefully 6 of us will be going, only me on a rotary though.

I am wondering if anyone has details about classic bike meetings in France, Belgium,or holland. I have been to Dijon 3 times now and want to have a change. Any suggestions, Not to far from the ports as it's to be an enjoyable jaunt. Not an endurance test! Thanks Mick

The small device that sticks out of the speedo on my Classic has jumped ship. Can anyone help me as to where I can get another one? Mick

It sounds like a slack primary chain to me. As it smooths out when reved.

Thats right J B empty zilch buggerall.fortunatly only 250 yards from the pumps on the exit road. Se had been running at 80 pmh. So they are thirsty at 5000 rpm. It's just I had expected more than 6 miles on reserve. Mick.

Can anyone tell me the capactiy of the fuel tank on the classic? I managed to run out yesterday and could only get 16.6 ltrs in. I thought it was a 20 ltr tank. Thanks Mick

Hi Mick Sorry that last post should be
How much were the discs from ABE? as I may well have to get some for my Classic. Which is LE 032 Thanks Mick

Hi Mick
How much were the discs from ABE is LE 032.
