Re: Interpol 2 uneven running
Nope,you are using the correct plugs,I bought resister plugs once by mistake,once was enough,took them out after about 2 miles and threw them away,dreadful things,the engine was running all over the place,J.B.

Re: Tale of woe...
If memory serves(and you have a Minimag Box)the Green light means the ignition is working and the Red light will go out when the bike fires up,but the Green light stays on(I think)sorry I can't be more positive,It's been quite a few years since I worked on the 'leclics of a Rotory,J.B.

Re: E 5 or E10

Re: Tale of woe...
I expect someone out in Rotory land will have a spare that you can borrow,failing that, Minimag is usually very accomodating (he even tested & repaired the 'leclic regulator on my golf trolly some years back)worth a phone call?good luck,J.B.

Hi Tim, Seems like your old Commander used about the same oil consumption as my old Classic,admitedly I was never "fully loaded two up" just "fully loaded solo" on many occasions. Hope you and the memsahib are well and hope to see you soon when the weather breaks to try and get y...

Re: Going to a rally
Depends on what machine you are on,air coold's use quite a bit more than their water cooled counterparts,(and if memory serves my Classic regularly used a pint every 300 miles,)doubtless a Commander rider will tell you how much his/her bike uses,ride safe,J.B.
