Rotary Owners' Club

I know what you mean I am worried about NML closing they are a God send and I am sure Richard will be missed by everyone. I expect Richard will just have to be more active on the forum

As long as no-one bids on the Classic and I get it cheap bid on the Van :lol:

Full throttle it is, who needs idle on a race track anyway :twisted: Good luck

I know him, he goes to Dr B's bike show. :lol:

Bet it's a blue one :shock:

Best fit it then I hope it cures your problem.

That's good to hear as you have a very special bike there, I hope I can ride out to visit one sunny day :D

New springs arrived and look perfect for the job, better than that the total including delivery was only 50 quid :D

Best you order some fine weather lol :lol:

That's a shame about your switch, you could still fit it and leave open until you require slow idle but then as you say it would be a one time operation until the ignition is switched off. I guess if all of your intake and idle system is fine maybe the fuel tap may be at fault if you still have the ...

I seem to remember Richard telling me that low compression or rotor wear caused poor / no idle when hot but I am sure this has been checked already :?: Does it start ok when hot I guess that would be a good test, or you can check down the air transfer ports for alloy wear particles / mush :idea: I a...

OMG :shock: that's awful, someone must have been watching or known about the sale as to be robbed the same day is just too suspicious. I am sure Richard never left wads of cash about normally or am I just being too suspicious :? As you say that is just totally disgusting I too hope the thief comes a...

I have a nice new tank from Richard at Norton Motors so hopefully I will be there. :D

Hi, I have seen water pump gaskets and other seals and parts listed under RE5 on eBay. Hopefully the seller may also stock other parts :)

Yes Hi to you, I have admired your bike too at NM very nice

Hi all, if anyone did not know there is a very helpful company Motomecca that provide all spares for the Koni shocks fitted to the Rotary Norton as standard, springs cost approx £40 plus the dreaded and can be delivered within 7 - 10 days. Their link is http://www.motomeccaspares.com/products/brand...

Hi all I need to finish my bike is a nice top fairing assy 92-1219 in white fibre glass. If anyone has one or knows of the location of a good please let me know. Mine is fitted but has crash damage on the right hand side, I know this can be repaired but if a good one is out there I would rather repl...

Will try to be there as I am very close to you, best get my tank painted quick, if you know Plastec tell them to be cheap and fast for me :D :mrgreen: :D

You are always welcome to come and have a look and chat.Paul

Thank you Richard for putting me straight :oops:

I have heard rumoured that the Commando could be as much as 20 grand, so the rotary wont be any cheaper for sure, but from what I understand at present (which is not a lot) the rotary will only be a race project. I am sure I will be corrected if this is wrong.

Mind you am I getting confussed :? between the Brian C.museum project and the new Norton initiative :?: I just don't know :oops:

Do you do cheap bed and breakfast :lol:

Must admit it would be great to see the rotor in the flesh at long last and Iam glad that hopefully all will be well in the end :D It just seems strange that Norton Motors still own the rights to the Norton rotary engine but another "Company" is now producing them for racing :?: I guess al...

I hope he isn't holding his breath.... :oops: unless they have plans for my Interplod 2 that I do not know about yet :shock:

Hi all, I have an early Development retard box for my Interpol 2 which is exactly the same as the production units but has an extra green wire. I have been at present unable to trace the use for this extra wire, has anyone come across this or know the purpose of this extra wire :?: Thanks

Thanks John.

Sorry I was not clear this is on an air cooled Norton Interpol 2 engine.

Can anyone tell me the best way to get to the temperature thermocouple on the top of the engine? I believe my thermocouple sender is not properly screwed into the casing giving a slightly low reading, not a major issue but one I would like to resolve. I have a new temp meter fitted and the wiring ap...

Right hand front indicator bulb assy.\r2. Left hand mirror arm.\r3. Left hand driving daylight lamp (any pieces)\r4. Instrument c...
