Rotary Owners' Club

I have had it confirmed today that to go on the track you must pay the additional £17 to become a NOC member as well as being a memeber of the ROC due to insurance conditions laid down by the NOC. No NOC membership no track play Guess I am standing room only

Yep Hi Derek, Richard beat me to this one, they are indeed wear indicators and can be seen on most brake pads now. I wonder if you misunderstood the MOT tester and it is not the pads that are worn but the discs are near to the wear limits. Might be worth measuring the thickness of the rotors?Cheers ...

Hi chaps I have two original Norton Chain case oil seals. These are brand new and perfect, I also have a vast number of other goodies which I will list on here for those interested.Message me if you are interested in them, I understand these are not available now.

Richard what size chain is fitted as I am going to buy a chain tool and wanted to make sure it would do the job? Do the rivet links supplied from NML have the nipple indentation in the end of the split link pin?Thanks

Also, new info, missed on my PM if I remember correctly you can get a lower temp thermostat and fan switch to improve temperature control from Graham.

you have a pm

I think by the sounds of it I am just going to attend the Friday day time meeting and watch others spend their money I am still waiting for the details form the NOC, maybe I should ring again

I saw both, the F1 looks fantastic but so much money.. and I would only want to ride it

Went to the Wheels show Friday in the torrential rain and for the first real time I found how good the IP2 barn door fairing is, even after fighting thru heavy traffic (yes she did overheat and get hot and bothered) 3-4mile queues I arrived near enough dry as a bone laughing at all the other bikers ...

You can get a pad GOLDFREN BRAKE PADS AD081 too from about £10 a set. I have been told they are pretty good but I have not tried them, they are carbon ceramic material. Armstrong also do a set but I cannot remember the part number. Remember that the Brembo set up was used on most of the BMW twins du...

I have EBC FA18HH on the front and original Brembo pads on the rear from NML. I have to say that for the set up I am very happy with the braking performance. I think I would like to change the hoses to braided lines though so if anyone has done that I would be interested too.

EBC sintered FA18HH // Dunlopad DP600/DP701 // Ferodo FDB108/148 // SBS 506 // Vesrah VD907/913 are correct smiley I used these numbers to get replacement pads for my bike, NML do original Brembo pads and you can also get quality pads from your local BMW motorcycle dealer at a good price too. Bikes ...

Richard has spoken He is the guru of all that Rotates

Cant wait to see it Andy. Cheers PAul

I think it's more likely the Red Bush tea

Richard did the factory fit rivet links when doing repair work, for instance when my engine was rebuilt in 2002? Is there an easy way to tell or do you have to remove one of the gaitors?Thanks in advance.

I am going to have to recheck that again Richard, maybe 5000rpm was 80mph ish but by the time I had got in drank some tea and sat by the computer things had got a bit hazy red face !!!Your theory works at 60mph as I know that is 4000rpm so who knows what I am on wink maybe i was just happy after ano...

I went down to Salisbury today to the annual MAG show and back via Norton Village to take a snap and the bike ran really well Very Happy I am using Sport demon Pirelli tyres and they appear to handle really well on the bike so far. You can only get a 120/90 V18 tyre for the back not the 120/80 V18 N...

I like anything thats different on two wheels really, I have three other bikes but I do normally take the Norton depending on what the event is. I have a 68 Triumph Daytona, 62 Tiger Cub, 1980 Yamaha LC all do different things and I love them all, must admit its a bit of a shocker getting off the cu...

No problem no offence taken .. LOL means 'laughs out loud' if you see that and the red face I take as embarrassed wink I am getting used to that IP2 handling now and it does feel very steady especially compared to the old GS and GSX Suzukis for sure, and as for 16in front wheel Kwaks oh dear!!!!! I ...

Crumbs that was a bit exclaim In my case yes I did have a hard out of true front tyre I guess from where the bike had been standing and also loose fairing mounts BUT..I also found the lower fork damper rods were twisted and rubbing on the sliders due to the bikes accident had by the previuos owner a...

Thanks Derek I think I am there now with the forks and tyres but I did also find that my fairing mounts on the steering yoke had come completely loose thus the reason why the fairing was dancing for me the other day.

Well all I appear to have got to the source of the wobbly front wheel I have had the new tyre fitted and balanced and I also loosened the front forks and bounced them a few times to re-align everything. After this I went to Kempton Park at the weekend which is about a 70 mile around trip or so and i...

Thanks all, the wheel is now in my local Motorcycle shop being balanced and checked. I quite liked the feel from the Pirelli's and they appear to warm up and grip well so I guess better the devil you know :mrgreen: Oh and yes Richard I did have the cable removed to try and reduce any friction :arrow...

The bike had stood for about three years before I bought it so it all seems to be adding up now :idea: . Can't understand how I had not noticed the patter before though, maybe I am getting faster as the weather improves :oops: As for tyres I am trying the new Pirelli Sport Demons as I had a new fitt...

Well I am confident that after measuring and checking everything that I could find the only problem maybe the front tyre. The tyre appears to have a high point when the wheel is rotated on the front spindle, I disconnected the brakes and held them out of the way with a bungie strap and then spun the...

I have checked my tyre pressures and drained and re-filled the front forks with 10 weight oil 250cc. After another run I am still getting the same symtoms of patter or bouncing on the front of the bike making it feel dangerous to be honest. I am going to take the wheels out and have them checked for...

Hi all, but I am sure Derek may answer this :lol: I have noticed that at 80 mph+ obviously on closed roads :oops: my Interpol front forks feel a bit jittery and can cause the front end to patter, especially on uneven road surfaces. What fork oil do people recommend / tyre pressures etc? Or has anyon...

I spoke to the contact on the NOC website and he was happy for the Rotary to be registered for the event / track time as I am in the ROC. He is going to be sending out registration papers in the post so I guess best thing is to contact him and wait on the postman

Actually Norton Motors have details of an as new one that is for sale and has been signed by previous riders it's a real bargain at about £18,000 I think. Give them a call a chance not to be missed.
