Re: Wankel Treffen 2009
In order to remedy the dearth of posting about the Wankeltreffen ... there should be around six rotary bikes (1 x RE5 & 5 x Nortons) from the ROC making their way over to Papenburg ... unless there are are more about which I don't know. Still not too late for anyone else to decide to come. Most ...

Hi Derek, Good to meet you at Stanford Hall; welcome to the ROC. I am not at my home computer at the moment but later this week I shall have a look at the club records and see if I can locate any of your past rotaries. David

Re: ROTELLA OIL
Andy, don't fall into the trap of confusing simple and basic with "poor quality"; I would contend that Rotella DD+40 is a very pure low-ash oil and ideally suited to rotary engines' total-loss lubrication systems. Importantly for such a consumeable item, it costs just £2.50 per litre from ...

Re: Batteries for the Commander
The ROC still has plenty of new (dry) Varta batteries to fit the Nortons at £22 each, here in Essex .... the downside is the £9 or so postage for a single one to be sent within the UK.DC

My IP2 forks are also very stiff ... lighter fork oil seems to have had only a limited beneficial effect. I will be interested to hear what you discover, but a pattering front wheel does seem to suggest a balance problem.DC

Re: Changing oil types.
The ROC has plenty of Rotella DD+40 in stock at £2.50 per litre ... I remember Richard telling me years ago that in his opinion, there was no difference in the lubricating quality of either oil ... only in the price.

Hello Victor, welcome to the forum. Norton used a F&S KC27 as a test bed (in a very rusty W2000) during their rotary development - and the rotor seals are the same - as well as the capacity of 294cc. Even the Norton rotors can be used in a KC27 although the balance needs to be checked because th...

I am sure that in a recent issue of Epitrochoid one of the members had organised a run for an Air Ambulance? Dig it out and drop him an email to see what he had to do.\rAlso Hugh Jaeger is involved with 'Bikers with Disabilities' and might be able to throw some light on what's required. Contact him.

Opie Oils
This company recently invited the ROC to join in their club discount scheme for motorcycle oil. Whether or not they can offer any real savings I don't know, or even any oils suitable for rotaries, but given that it was free, the ROC (and that's you, the members) can partake in their scheme. DC
