Hi guys,I am in dire need of some technical help, Dave Green came up trumps with his old Boyer Ign; Box,(it arrived yesterday) and I have spent all day wiring the thing up,the bike starts up ok,but I am getting no throttle response,there are three spare wires on the bike loom that I don't seem to be...

Electrex do one for Commanders & F1s part No RR10 £66-00 (inc vat & p&p)not to steep a price.J.B.

Richard,I don't know of another Classic that has clocked up as many miles as mine,so perhaps the problem has not reared its ugly head. Having said that, had an e-mail from a Classic owner in "Kiwi Land"(No84)and he has done all sorts of high milage (800 miles in one day!! in America) said ...

It may sound obviuos but I suppose you have checked the inline fuel filter for the dreaded "Ethanol Melt"? With engine temps; as low as you say it sounds like your temp; guage is about as accurate as your tacco!! (this is an IP2 we are talking about?,not a Commander?) J.B.

Hi mickm,me to,the spare one was put on the bike,and silly me,I didn't get another spare,lesson learnt.In the same them,re;"hot spot". looking at the Classic and the location of the said VCR & Ign; Box,there is no (or very little) room for air circulation,and what air there is will be ...

Please phone D.G.as I am desperate for your trigger & box.J.B.

Continuing on,Re; Del Boys comment on "locating the Ign;Trigger Box in a hot spot" may be the answer as to why I've had so much trouble over the years,now I have the Sprint fairing on the bike maybe I can relocate the Ign; box somewhere nice and cool .Will the respective "juices"...

Thats told me then!! Buy Japanes? is that the bikes or just the electrics?well the alternator sounds Japanes,(Kokusan,) Masda are Japanes,they make a two cylinder rotary,could their digital ignition power box & VCR be converted to work on our Nortons,?and did I not read somewhere that the manufa...

Hi DG,I'm in the market for an Ign; pickup box,and one can never have to many pickup triggers (I'm on my third in 50,000 miles)phone me on 01268 753362 tomorrow morning(Thurs) befor 11-00hrs or after 15-00hrs(I'm playing golf) ride safe,J.B.

Hi Mick,Not sure that I fully agree with Richard on "go digital,fit and forget" Iv'e just had an Ign; box pack up on me with no warning after about 36,500 miles,(This was a replacment for the original Boyer that packed up after only 14,000 miles) I suspect the VCR is faulty also after a li...

Thanks Richard,I thought they may be repairable,(seeing as they come to pieces)Who.s Julian? Any thoughts on the VCR? It's a Padronics,once again,not much on longevity,roughly 35,000 miles,(the original Boyer was even worse!17,500) what is it with bike electronics,cars, trucks & buses last hundr...

Hi Gripper,How many miles has your IP2 done on the new Ign; system? I fitted one to my Classic not to long ago(see Tec & new Ideas)ride safe,J.B.

Thanks Mick, It is the box thats s####d cry,I borrowed a Boyer that Dell Boy had as a spare,plugged all the wires in and the old girl went first stab of the button Very Happy,not to happy about the old one though,11,000 miles and it's knackered,having said that,if(as I suspect) the VCR isn't doing i...

Hi guys,I have an "Apex True Time" ignition box fitted to the Classic,and according to the instructions that came with the Ign; box,there is an LED light that lights up with Red & Green coloures at various stages of opperation,this was so when the box was fitted about 11,000 miles ago,...

Hi Paul,The ticket for Popham was on the mat when I arrived home today after a 10 day vacation "Muchas Grassias" all I have to do now is sort out the electricary probs on the old girl ,ride safe,J.B.

Hi Dave,I had this problem with the Classic some umpteen thousand miles ago,a new camplate spring was a 99% cure,It's a bit fiddly but a new spring can be fitted without removing the g/box,(contrary to what Rugely said at the time,I can't remember who I spoke to,)ride safe,J.B.

Continuing on,I have re-examined the fuse box assembly and am of the oppinion that I will require one of those also,(the 25amp holder seem a bit of a loose fit compaired to the others) would these also be of Boyer manufacture?and having studied the worshop manual at length,I am beginning to make som...

Hi guys, I think I have a few problems rearing there ugly heads cry,1st what do's the ballast resister do?I took it off the bike(to clean the terminals and make sure of bare metal contact) and it is in a sorry old state cry, the ceramic? body has crumbled away exposing metal,I have wraped insulating...

Hi Paul,I'm up for Popham,(allready marked off on my calender)send a ticket please,(I think you have my address)ride safe,regards,J.B. PS, has anybody any news about Stamford Hall?,I think it is usualy in May,J.B.

Thanks guys, I havn't got a voltmeeter? myself but I expect some of the guys that I meet at the pub most Saturdays will have one,I will make a few phone calls and hopefully one of them will bring one along. Most of us put vasaline on the battery terminals to prevent corrosion,has anyone tried doing ...

Hi guys, as the old weather has been a bit on the wet side of late(no playing golf or riding the Classic)I have been reading past copies of the club mag,some time back someone mentioned guys wrecking their engines by relying on the "oil light" rather than by using the dip stick,well this r...

Hi guys,thanks for the tips,I have spent most of this afternoon looking for burnt or melted wires,checking connectors for corrosion & loose connections,(mostly around the fuse box area,)nothing looks untoward, should I be looking else where?Del Boy and Richard stated thees problems accure on Com...

Hi guys,had a first(I think) for me today,I was giving the old Classic a bit of a "pre-season" check over ,took the cover off the fuse box to discover the 25amp gen fuse had melted!! (I have allways been under the impression that fuses "blew" well before this sort of thing happen...

Hi Mike, I remember attending the NOC International Rally in Southern Ireland way back in 2003, and this was one of the few international rallies that I have attended where mine was NOT the only Classic,If memory serves there were four,mine,a guy from Germany,(who's bike was the only water cooled Cl...

I hear a bell ringing!! some time back a fanufacturer was offering to make heat shields,£150 quid a pair?perhaps someone with a better memmory than me(not difficult)will know more,good hunting,J.B.
