Rotary Owners' Club

Hi guys,I had a good old wipe round the underneath of the bike with rag (where I could reach) and have let it stand for the last 6 days to see if a drip developed(assuming that if the frame was leaking it would show,)Nothing. Then had a good look around the rear mudflap and the rear frame cross/sect...

Hi Richard,I toped up the G/box in France,it needed very little,egg cup full?if that, (the oil was just over the first "flange" as you look into the box) I put in no where near as much as I removed from the rear gaiter,so where did that oil come from? evil. After the run back to the UK,I c...

Come on Paul,if the bike was designed by a friend of yours you must be privey to lots of info;(or are you sworn to secrecy )J.B.

Thanks guys,thinking more on the subject,is there anywhere else the oil can be comming from?It seems a bit odd that 95% of the bike is getting oil on the r/hand side, when (Iv'e been told)the oil from the box go's into the chain gaiter and leaks from there,Iv'e had a good look at the gaiter and I ca...

Hi Richard,I think it's the one behind the sprocket,what other ones can it be?The symptoms are,lots of extra oil in the rear chain gaiters,lots of oil blown on the R/H,side of the bike,but no extra oil in the primary chain case. The bike has had a bit of a leak for the last umpteen thousand miles,bu...

Hi guys,I'm safely back from the NOC rally in France,(The hot running engine on the Classic got no worse smiley,but the oil leak from the g/box definitely has evil.)Looking at the "exploded view" in the w/shop manual,it appears that the seal can be replaced "in-situe",is this the...

Hi Paul,I did'nt realise it was an evening thing,I can do afternoon/evening, I'll look for you on "The Village Green" I'll be there about three'ish(weather permiting), ride safe,J.B.

Hi Mark,welcome to the forum ,J.B.

The most problems Iv'e had with my Classic have been electricle,Ignition box's (3) and Voltage Regulators(also3)I'm hoping that I have solved this problem by moving the V.R. to a position on the bike so that it gets a more cooling flow of air,(where it was origanaly it recieved vertualy no air flow ...

To arrive, to "book in" to display our bikes J.B.

Is there a "before" time for Kempton?J.B.

Welcome to the club Adam, we don't get many rotory vehicles of the four wheeled variety on our forum,J.B.

P.James seems to be "flavour of the month" at the moment,call me an old cynic but lets see how they perform when someone has to make a claim or call the breakdown truck!!J.B.

Yep,sign me up,J.B.

I don't think a three pot rotary would be any wider than a four pot conventional piston engine, (and just think of the fantastic sound a rotary triple would make ) J.B.

Every year I promise myself that THIS YEAR I will make it to the the Wankel Triffen, and once again I can't get there ,(family commitment)hopefuly next year? ride safe,J.B.

Hi Paul,What date Popham?(hope it's the weekend 17th/18th August, 'cos I'm busy every other weekend in August )rgds,J,B.

I, like Dell Boy have (and am) using Cougers,not quite as good as Bridgstone,but fine for the most part,exept they tend to "tram line" after covering a few thousand miles,never tried(or even heard of Maxxis )J.B.

Hi Malc,you sure this scum bag was a rotary owner and not just some lowlife oppertunist,? anyway,I'm sure you must have a few details that we can look out for,and what exactly was stolen,was it rotary stuff or tools and things,more info please, rgds,J.B.

I supose you have tried a new flasher unit? (you didn't put it on your "things I have tried "list)rgds,J.B.

It would seem that Wayn's routine with the oil is the answere,bit of a palaver but better than washing the chambers with exess fuel (never a good idea )rgds,J.B.

I have been having a bit of a "surf" for wheel balancing weights,(I used all those that I cadged off Dell Boy for the rear wheel,worked a treat,thanks mate,)and I came across "wheel balancing beads" exclaim anyway, they seem to go down a storm in the US of A,lots of possitive com...

Hi Mark,have you tried using jump leads from the battery on the Jag to your bike? it will start in double quick time and not flatten your bike battery,rgds,J.B.ps,not trying to "teach granny to suck eggs" but experiance has taught me to have the engine running on what ever vehicle is the s...

Talking to other bikers in the pub on Saturday and would seem that quite a number had left F/J in favour of P/J (me thinks that I will do the same next year,)ride safe,J.B.
