<p style=”text-align: left;”>Heres the video so you can here the chuffing. Really prominent from 26 seconds in</p>
And a vid showing the oil accumulation under the manifold.
As you sit on the bike, cylinder 1 making the chuff noise, cylinder 2 smoking from manifold with burning oil as…[Read more]

Head Gasket sounds a lot friendlier than the valve seals. Would you advise to try the head gasket first, and then do the valve seals if needed or would you do all at the same time? I’ll put a video on youtube later and send the link so you can see what i mean about the chuffing sort of noise. ive never seen it before, but ive only got experience…[Read more]

Im an office monkey by trade. I had a lot of exposure to bikes growing up as my best mate was a Professional Speedway rider so i spent a lot of time around bikes and helping out but engines i never touched.

Serious question, how many hours of engine work do you reckon it took you guys before you got confident and enjoyed that side of it. It just seems so dau ting having not stripped an engine before. They are a thing of beauty, but daunting.

Hello again all. Hope everyone is well and ready for lockdown to end!
So as an update, brakes are sorted, electrics at the headlight end all working (now I know the twin filament bulbs are supposed to be there lol). New oil filter and oil. Why oil do you guys use for yours? I’ve just out some 10w40 in as a wash through for a few miles (when it…[Read more]

I definitely want to keep it/take it back to original and I love the styling of the bars. I’m used to going everywhere at 50 on the Enfield so I won’t be in a hurry lol

Thank you so much for the info. I thought someone had changed the indicator bulb holder. I never new the yanks had twin filament front indicators, so yet something else I’ve learned from here.
If you let me know how much you want for the side panel badges please 👍
I’m not what the deal is with the key. I only have one key, and it fits both…[Read more]

The US bars are high but I’m liking the seating position. Haven’t ridden yet but I’m expecting big things from her

Hi KK. Thanks for the info on G model, she is a 1980 V plate.
The seller gave me a newly covered flat seat as well, and 2 sets of the side panels. I’ll add photos later when I go in the garage.
There is a scratch on the tank paint, showing blue paint underneath which ties against the logbook. Will have to find a picture now of a 1980 g model in…[Read more]

Hi all. I’m Ben from Leicester. I recently purchased a 750 twin from a guy in Loughborough who advised me of this site. The bike itself had been standing in his back garden since 2012 I believe, so I was expecting a big lockdown project but so far she has been fantastic and isn’t putting up a fight lol.

I’ve got into my head to take mine to the German Z750 owners rally when all of this Covid19 stuff allows normality, for a journey like that where you have to do some fast road work, some wind protection is essential, well for me anyway! On my original 76 bike from new I had an Oxford Cockpit fairing, it was brilliant. I’m going to use an MRA scr…[Read more]
