I have got to the point that I need to ask the silly questions. Along with a very good friend of mine we have just finished restoring a 1917.
The whole bike has been gone through including the engine and gearbox the bike starts second and third kick everytime and sounds great,
the problem we have is that its seems to be get very very hot on the rear cylinder very quickly, we have checked the timing, checked all
the ignition side of things, we have checked everything we can think of.
Can anybody suggest what we have missed. I know they run hotter on the rear but this is too hot. (We have straight 50 oil in the bike!).
Many Thanks
Jed
