I think things are drifting a little here the oil is redline 75/245 on demon tweeks site you have to get to the transmission oils section then put the above description in. although it's called redline different grades are different colours from that manufacturer so that you can identify which oil w...

Hi David don't think I've paid mine yet, how much is it this year. I will have a cheque on it's way post hasteR dg

hi Dave I found (by accident) that by not clamping silencers to manifold and just sealing with copper grease the manifold doesn't crack I did it just to make disassembly easy but the bonus was no cracks I assume that this allows silencers to move freely and takes the strain off the manifold. happy x...

Hi Dave, I realise there is no synchro in dog boxes but john mentioned his Honda and I assume the clutch is served by the same oil as gearbox on that bike, and just thought it a good idea to bring to attention redline's comments as to it's limitations. dg

Hi John glad your pleased with redline, but they do not recommend it is used in gearboxes that contain synchromesh rings or clutches as one of it's features are that it sticks to everything and leaves a film in place. dg

demon tweeks list it at £18.60 but must admit I did buy other items at same time and did not check delivery note properly it was probably plus vat, but still cheaper than new gearset. dg

on a recent vmcc week my ip2 gearbox was noisier than ever and was a bit worrying upon myreturn engine out gearbox stripped could find no issues replaced seals etc as a precaution. in the meantime was recommended a transmission oil by redline sold by demon tweaks I went for their 75/250 grade, I can...

Hi Dave, I intend to go, as well as attending with the vmcc the moto legende at dijon as that is only about 60 miles away from the rally and it's on the the weekend before. I shall go by chunnel and drive/ride down there and spend about 2 weeks in the area. regards D G

Hi john i am retired precision toolmaker who normally does all his own engine work but had richard build both my rotary engines because as pete morris once said to me it is a simple engine but there a lot of things you can do wrong. for instance the eccentric shaft will grow in size with heat/use an...
