    RamAir filter still ok

    I fitted my RamAir filter when they first came available & to my shame the first time of checking it was today when I removed it for cleaning. No splits or damage at all & although I have cleaned & oiled it, I don't believe it to have been necessary & I expect no better running because of it. I...

    Old for new

    18 months ago I bought a Triumph Thruxton & posted a video clip of it in the workshop, Arrows exhaust system & baffles removed, it sounded awesome. Well of course Triumph have now introduced the Thruxton "R" which is a totally different bike, the only similarity being the name. So! You will have...

    Biltwell helmets

    hi to all American cousins, my son has found a site selling the "Biltwell gringo S" helmet. It is US D.O.T. Certified which is good, but comes with a caveat that it is not certified in UK. This doesn't stop its use over here but I am asking if anyone has experience or knowledge of this company &...

    Tour of Britain

    You may remember that 18 months ago my wife died. After 15 yrs of caring for her I have now been free to travel, however my 2 little dogs have held me back. Now my son & his girlfriend are buying a house & taking the dogs with them. So I am now free to tour around this country of ours & I...

    Bad start

    some of the longer lasting members here may remember the issue I have been having with bad starting. Having tried all things including new batteries, I decided 2 weeks ago to remove the starter motor in the beliefs that it was faulty. Having managed to remove it after a lot of hitting, the...

    Jack's back

    hi folks, I have had to sign in again under a different name. Originally "Captain Jack" but I have unfortunately lost all my passwords & having tried to reset my password for this site I couldn't because my email address that I signed up with has been discontinued. All a pain in the butt & I am...

    Clutch switch

    Can anyone tell me how the clutch switch is removed from the lever assembly? I am now convinced that although the switch is good, the mounting of it is loose & this is causing my starting problem.

    New Clutch-New Ride

    While replacing the broken Detent spring I fitted a Barnet HD clutch. I have to say that it has made a noticeable difference to both engine noise & acceleration. Before the mod there was a rattling noise that had developed over the last year or two, this has now disappeared. Today I also noticed...

    Detent +

    Well at last I've managed to replace the broken Detent spring, so much work for a 10p spring. While at it its had new thrust bearing, actuator shaft return spring & a full "Barnet" HD clutch, hope my fingers hold out its quite a Lott heavier. Also found the radiator hoses had gone quite hard so...

    Thrust bearing

    I have just stripped down the bike to fit a new Detent spring. Having watched Bennys' videos on clutch replacement I expected to find a thrust bearing with radial rollers, however there is nothing but a plain washer & a light weight spring washer. Mine is an 09 classic, has there been changes...

    Power Problem

    I've just fitted a new battery which seems in good condition. The bike has just been returned from France where it suffered a broken Detent spring but last I saw of it was being ridden when the pick up truck collected it. After 3 weeks I know the battery was flat as my tracker told me so. On...

My experience so far...

    Clutch replacement

    Bike not back from France yet, I know some of you have replaced the clutch & im considering it while doing the Detent spring. At what mileage have most of you needed to do it? I'm on 34000 miles but at the moment no sign of slipping but don't want to miss the opportunity.

    Bike won't start

    The bike is still in France but it had also developed a problem with starting. This is not new, it has happened before but I still don't know the fault. Sometimes all that can be heard is the clicking of the starter relay & sometimes I can hear the starter solenoid trying to kick in. Whichever...

    Lost in France

    I just don't believe my bad luck. I left over. Touring holiday around Normandy, day one I lost all gears, that is whichever gear I selected it would drop out before I could let the clutch out. I thought I'd found the answer by holding it in gear with my foot until the clutch had engaged, this...
