Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

we are already driving

The smile tells it all !

report on the condition of the motorcycle after a short period of time. I had to install an oil shut-off valve because after a long time the oil was leaking into the engine blocks and the motorcycle was smoking a lot when I started it.

I also bravely tried to participate in the Austrian Rally. However, the hills really took a toll on the bike. Both valves were slightly seated and the valve clearance was lost, which caused them to not seal well and the motorcycle overheated a lot and did not have enough power for the Austrian hills.

Among other problems I can mention that the spokes of the rear wheel came loose and the bike started to float a bit and also that there were some oil leaks. Otherwise it was pretty good. I am currently working on fixing the problems.

But you have the pictures

I always give the exhaust valves on a Sidevalve a few thou more that originally recommended.The valves get hotter than OHV ones, The exhaust Pipes BLUE more as well. Try to keep the Back pressure to a minimum in the Muffler. Nev
