Rotary Owners' Club

No Roy, don’t fill the tank with 20/50 - you are right to be doubtful.

I am sure the Comp-2 you mention will be fine.

David

This, from Tony Page …… I can access the forum but can't post a reply. I've done 490,000 miles now on my IP2 with the same gear box. So, despite what has been written on this thread, they are not 'crap'. I have always used the specified 140 grade oil and changed it every 5000.miles which equated to ...

Luckily the (UK’s) Rotary Owners’ Club has obtained from Jess Stockwell some of his newly produced sprag clutches!!

David

PM me the details, Paul - thank you.

So sorry to read that the vendor of your Classic suddenly ‘found’ the toolkit that should have gone with the bike.

Good luck!

David

I have finished writing the piece about what Classics are where, as known to the club. We can account for 50 .... which is 50%!!!

Which means there's another 50 out there somewhere!

It'll be in the next (but one) magazine.

David

Thank you for that, Jannes.

David

Another one for the list .... Jerome in France has no. 43

Hi Jannes,

I have quite a few more in the club's register.

I will send you what I have.

David

I have been sent details of this meeting (in Suffolk).

All ROC members are welcome.

Please email me (RotaryOC@aol.com) and I’ll send you the information I have.

David

Holger asks whether somewhere there is a page listing the torque values for a Norton F1 Sport?

And if so, could it be copied here?

Trev,

Could you remind us what machine you are enquiring about, please?

David

Here's the link ...

Some interesting non-standard bits there, Richard.

It has indeed not got the original NSU Wankel engine ....

It seems to have had a Mazda rotary replacement.

Good luck to whoever wins it .....

David

Reading Richard’s post, I think it was the MZ1000 motorcycle that was a (commercial) failure .... not it’s component parts ... which were actually rather good.

David

Having MZ upside-down forks is the most obvious modification.

They were conversions from standard Commanders done while Norton was based at Rugeley.

David

Welcome to the world of rotaries!!

I am sure we have members in your corner of the country.

Happy rotoring!

David

Welcome to the world of rotaries, John!

David

In my own case (in a F1). I just ran the tank down as low as dared, and then switched. I had no problem.

David

Yep, the gearbox / shaft-drive of the R27 looks just like that of the prototype W2000. My information is that Hercules originally wanted to have all W2000s with shaft-drive using a similar arrangement, but problems occurred with agreeing a deal with BMW. Hercules had wanted to produce one of their o...

Correct, John.

Another Fichtel & Sachs engine.

David

It looks like Jim Dudley’s old bike; does anyone know the index mark or VIN?
David

2 x NOS bearings, still inn their sealed Norton Motors Ltd bag.

Andover Norton lists them for £5.89 - inc VAT each.

Would £7.50 for the pair sound fair?

Email me if so, David on RotaryOC@aol.com

Having just masterminded a delivery of Silkolene 2T to Newcastle via an ex-colleague whose daughter lives there, I wonder if there is any demand for the same in other parts of the UK? (Royal Mail do not like transporting it!) In the next few weeks I plan to be in both Barnstaple (North Devon) and Fo...

Who is this "spondonash" that has suddenly appeared with all this rotary stuff?any connection to the Spondon Engineering?J.B. I've been a member for 8 years so my appearance is not really sudden Very Happy No connection to Spondon Engineering at all other than a love for their products. A...

I had a similar problem years ago with a DKW W2000. The Hercules factory came to the rescue as they had kept a record of what lock number went in which frame ....

Richard: Any chance that Norton did the same?

David

Geoff D

If you are a club member, email me at RotaryOC@aol.com and I’ll see if I have any details on your machine.

David

Looking good!

David

Given the vendor says it's ex-Met, I guess it's either B77, B78 or B79 VYT?

The last time I saw B77, it had been sprayed green (didn't you, Mr Mason?).

David

Fingers crossed, an original Classic certificate has been sourced and the owner is in touch with Richard!

Happy days!

David
