i use ATF in the primary case . there is small passageway in rear of chaincase for oiling rear chain by drip feed, there should be piece of felt in the hole. there is a fella who has an arrow trials bike , who went to the swindon rally this year , who can bond clutch plates with cork . i dont have h...

hi Bevan ; i have some bonded plates in my NH at present and also use cork plates but have them out for re corking at present . im using same springs on either and i just tension them up accordingly , i test them on a steep hill and if it slips i add more tension lol . i just adjust the spring tensi...

there are a few if you want to try them . STA-BIL , HYDRA LMA-20, LUCAS SAFEGUARD , MANNOL ESTER , PUTOLINE FUEL STABILISER to name a few . you can also just use avgas 100LL if you can get it from an airfield that has it because avgas has a long shelf life something like 7 years . there is ASPEN pet...
