Rotary Owners' Club

many thanks for that Dave, I hope to have them both on wayne's stand at 1000 bikes and will be riding one on circuit. D G

Many thanks for that graham I will go and shake him warmly by the throat as he is under the impression that it is the same stuff, just as well I hadn't put in a bike. I will find out if he will stock classic 2t pre-mix as he has been the only local supplier, the majority of his bussiness is with mot...

went to see my local supplier of comp 2 premix and had a word as to the recent developments, he seemed surprised and said he thought is was just a label change (which apparently they do from time to time) he will continue to stock it as he sells a lot to his motocross customers as it is apparently c...

Hi JB the treffen dates unfortunately clash with a VMCC week I'm doing so better luck next year (I will get there eventually) I will see you at gawthorpe hall.bye for now D G

Hi JB What is the date for the wankeltreffen? a I said on sunday I fancy going but cannot seem to find the dates. My calender is clear for gawthorpe, would you be using the M1? if so you are welcome to call in for a cofee break as I live right next to jcn 16 then ride up together. Many thanks from m...

Hi Wayne I originally emailed DC about 1000 bikes as I am riding there but got no reply then emailed the NOC they don't seem to know which way is up, so I would very much like to put my two specials with your display if poss? Dave Green

I'm happy to bring a bike along.D G

Hi Wayne, does this mean you are providing your awning etc as a stand in the avenue of clubs at 1000 bikes? I emailed david earlier this year but did not get a reply. I have been accepted with one of my rotaries on track and wanted to put both on any stand the club might have.Regards Dave Green.

When you gotta go! there was these jap things who had other ideas. Had some luck the M1 was closed just after where I get off. A good end to a great w/e.D G

Cracking rides over a great weekend thanks gripper must do it again sometimeD G

Hi Guy, If you know anyone in the vintage motorcycle club there were a lot of letters in the last issue about this subject and some of them seem to be well informed. My point was that assuming it is true then if we buy their fuel and support them where possible, maybe that will pressure their compet...

Those of you that are in the VMCC will have read that TOTAL say that there is no ethanol in their unleaded and that is set to last at least until july in the standard grade, and their premium will always be ethanol free?D G

There is a tank sealant by the name of KREEM and is imported from the states by ZODIAC it's in their catalogue p/n 232020 I have used it in several bikes over the last 3 years and had no problems (they've had ethanol in the states for years). There's a list of agents on zodiac's website it's usually...

Hi JB we discussed (at the begonia rally) the possibilty of reducing the price of these boxes if we could get a group together is there any progress on this?. If the price could be reduced enough I would be in the market for two.Dave Green

having spoken to dave I intend to go but not being as hardy as richard I will B&B ing it dave green

I have mentioned this before but both my rotaries gear change sweetly and finding nuetral is not a problem my answer to the problem was to (fine) shotblast the bronze plates to deglaze them and eliminate stiction and run the primary drive on 5/30 oil. Any clutch running in oil stiction is often a pr...

Hi Dopey, there is a company you will find on www.stealthproducts.co.uk, tel 01142 570111 they will make discs to your requirements and they seem reasonable on price, hope this is of some help D. G.

I'm in if the price is good.Dave Green

I've had same response as richard lets hope.DG

me also

Anybody going to the begonia rally in flanders? I am at present trying to obtain b&bD G

Many thanks paul seal arrived this morning now busy putting bike together D G

Hi Richard this noisy bugger now back from spain it was very hot but the commander behaved itself till the the daft sod sitting on it fell off dohD G

Hi Paul, seal number is 55-0421 and the spacer it runs on which i should replace if poss is69-0651. I would pm you with my address if i knew how to in the meantime my email is jd.green@live.co.ukregards D G

Thanks boys for your input I have just stripped my primary drive and it seems that the mainshaft seal is leaking allowing gearbox oil in, any clutch is going to drag with that in it. So it's of to buy a new seal and see how that does. By the way dave the oil feeds the tensioner as well, and there is...

thought I'd cracked it but during the colombres jaunt my clutch is dragging again and I cannot get neutral most of the time when stationary, if anybody has any other ideas I will gladly give anything a try the problem is (I think) not the amount of lift but stiction on the plates.D G

Hi Paul, I sent you my details as requested but haven't recieved my pass etc.regards D G

Hi fella's, When I first put my commander on the the road neutral was impossible to find and in fact any gearchange was painful on the foot. I have de'glazed the sintered plates by gently sand blasting them and built everything back up to the book including adjustments etc and put 5/30 oil in the pr...

Hi Paul, If you send me your email address I will email you my details as I would love to come along.my email is jd,green@live .co.ukRegards Dave Green.

Hi John, ABZ's replace the original AEF's you can get them from Burlen they advertise in the old bike mart and also have a website. They are the manufacturers of su carbs and carry all the spares for them, the needles are about £14 a pair + p&p. I hope they give you as much benefit as they have ...
