Suzuki Re5 Plug Adapter
The plug adapter for the RE5 is stainless and beautifully made - it looks a gold colour in the photo because of the lighting. The outside fits a 30mm wrench and the inside has clearance for a regular socket wrench on the plug. Being stainless, it is important to use a dollop of nti-Seize lubricant on the threads to prevent galvanic corrosion between adapter and Engine Cases. There are two of them in the shot above so you can see the whole thing. The adapter threads into the original plug hole...

BB JH an, those HP2 rocketships are too fast for an old fart I V I like me, says Chris King. Yoj have to be careful with the throttle on a bike with that much power. Loose rocks don't give much traction and if you are not paying attention the bike will swap ends with you in the blink of an eye, especially on an uphill turn. The HP2 is a lot of fun but you have to respect it. There are a lot of tinhorns out here that are going to hurt themselves with one. Tiat's why this Texan greybeard rides...

Registration Roundabout
1TW Thanks for the advice earlier on welding mm engine mounts for a classic custom prcject I wanted to build. I decided to go the route of buying a rolling chassis with an engine already installed CB750 BANDIT 600cc . The problem is I stupidly bought it with no papers reg number and took it at the guys word and a hand shake that it was 100 legit. The problems are that I have no idea what model the bandit 600 engine is N71 7-1071 and I don't want to start buying parts until I know they will work...
Thanks
Thanks to Brice Bugna at Crankshaft and gears nestle in lower case half. We need gaskets and oil seals, a kick-start spring and shaft end bush before this engine goes back together All selector forks are in good condition with no signs of wear on the running faces, a sure sign that the gearbox mainshaft bearing is badly worn That's why it didn't work Anthony Cope holds his Nippon Denso starter and looks for the missing drive shaft. The hole was filled with Araldite to keep oil in the engine gt...

And rain it just runs off it like no visor you've ever worn. It comes in smoke or...

We Raced An Re5
Just what was going through Ray Battersby's mind when it occurred to him to race a Wankel-engined Suzuki RE5 he doesn't reveal. But in 1976, soon after he started working as Heron Suzukis technical representative, he reckoned it would be novel, quirky and like its engine, a little eccentric. Trouble was that the RE5 was no racer, by far. It was underpowered and slow off the mark, recalls Ray. It was heavy and bulky. It was complex, with a carburettor that had 117 jets and 15 air bleed systems....
