250 Triumph/BSA Rocker Arm Mods As a Professional Triumph
250 Triumph/BSA Rocker Arm Mods As a professional Triumph mechanic during the early 1970’s, I remember the 250cc singles very well. These machines were built by BSA, with some being re-branded to Triumph. Models included the BSA B25 and Triumph T25. They were easy to work on and fun to ride because the engine would rev up effortlessly. However, they were highly susceptible to valve flotation and subsequent valve train damage. And since these engines performed so well at high RPM, loss of compression from valve damage was something we saw all the time. Damage Repair To repair this problem, the first step is to remove the cylinder head and both RH engine covers to inspect the entire valve train. The cam followers (tappets) should slide freely in the engine case over their full length without binding, and fall out from the fully-lifted position under their own weight. A bent cam follower will bind at its extreme lift point. Bent tappets must be replaced. The exhaust valve can easily be checked for leaking by holding the exhaust port straight up and watching the combustion chamber while pouring in thin solvents. A bent valve will let solvent gush by. A valve in good condition should hold solvent for at least 3 seconds. Photo 1. Stock rocker arms and the compression release lug Future Prevention After replacing valves and lifters you have repaired the damage, but not the cause. The real culprit is that the valve train weighs too much to sustain high RPM. You could install heavier valve springs, but that would simply wear out the cam and cam followers. -

Triumph Motorcycles Timeline the Glory Years, 1963-1972
6/18/2021 Triumph Motorcycles Timeline: The Glory Years, 1963-1972 Triumph Motorcycles timeline 1963-1972: The Glory Years See bottom of page for links to other eras in Triumph's history New: Post your comments, opinions, and ask questions on my new FORUM. Tiger 90, high performance 350 3TA introduced, similar to T100S/S. All 650s, (including Bonnies, 1963 Tbirds, TR6, Trophy) are built with a new unit construction engine/gear box. Tina T10, 100cc scooter with automatic transmission introduced (designed by Turner). The US-only TR6SC, a pure desert racer with straight pipes, was produced: basically a single-carb T120, very fast. 650s all get new coil ignition. First year for T120 unit construction models. The Bonnie undergoes numerous and significant upgrades to its engine, gearbox, transmission and frame (after toying with a duplex design, Triumph instead made a larger diameter downtube to combat wobble and weave). A special TT model (T120C/TT) is produced until 1967 for the USA, due to the encouragement of Bill Johnson, of Johnson Motors ("Jo-Mo"). This is a stripped-down racing model, only made until 1966 for the US market. Two US dealers on a camping trip come up with the idea for the T20M Mountain Cub, combining Tiger Cub, Sports Cub and trials Cub parts. First sold in USA in 1964, proves very successful. BSA closes the Ariel factory at Selly Oak. The last Ariels in production, the Leader and Arrow, are manufactured at BSA's factory in Small Heath until 1965. Norton Atlas released. AMC acquires James. Norman ceases production. -

Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2014 02
A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 28. No 1. February 2014. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: I was thinking hard about where to begin this message as I have by circumstance found myself having to fill some very large riding boots! The huge mantle of Mike Milner-Smyth was very ably taken on by Andy and just when we thought we were settled with that more change is occurring. I thought I would start off my tenure in this role by just pointing out some of the issues which are with us and where I stand on those. We have very successfully survived the move from Morningside to the VVC and I believe that in the longer term this is absolutely the correct thing for the club. Once the building alterations are complete VMC will feel even more at home in the clubhouse and there will be opportunities and facilities that were not possible at Morningside. I am wearing two hats at the moment but want to assure you that all I do in the context of the VMC will be in the best interests of its members and I hope you will always feel free to engage with me should you ever feel that that there is an issue which in not in keeping with that philosophy. We have a competent and dedicated committee and I believe I can depend on their support in the months ahead. There is always a need for new blood in any organisation and my main message this time is for everyone to give some thought as to who could come onto the committee and bring fresh ideas and energy to it as that is so important in making clubs such as ours sustainable. -
Bsa 1949 A7 500 Cc 2 Cyl Ohv Sold
BSA 1949 A7 500 CC 2 CYL OHV SOLD BSA 1949 A7 The BSA A7 was a British motorcycle manufactured by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) at their factory in Armoury Road, Small Heath, Birmingham in 1946. The 495cc BSA A7 continued in production with minor modifications until 1961.The 495cc twin cylinder engine produced 26bhp and was capable of 85mph. A single camshaft behind the cylinders operated the valves via long pushrods passing through a tunnel in the cast iron block. This system needed a considerable number of studs and nuts to fasten down the cylinder head and V.O.F.

Most motorcycles of this period tensioned the primary chain by drawing or rotating the gearbox backwards on a hinge with threaded rods, this was known as pre-unit construction. The first A7 featured a fixed gearbox, bolted to the back of the crankcase, and an internal tensioner for the duplex primary chain. This gave it the appearance of unit construction and pioneered the system later used in unit-construction engines (eg BSA C12/C15, BSA B40, Triumph 3TA and on). However, in 1954 a re-design reverted to the older system. The electrics (as was universal for larger British motorcycles of the period) consisted of two independent systems, the very reliable and self-contained Lucas magneto, with a dynamo generator to charge the battery and provide lights. -

Club Ride Days Above-Right to left; Don, Doug, Peter Trevor and Don’s son Steve out for a Sunday ride mid-January. Trevor’s still trying to bond with his Norton it is running well but he spoke more fondly of his BMWs He has since sold the Norton Peter’s 400 Honda four being checked over Germany vs Russia albeit Adrian’s BMW is far from standard; Neil’s Ural is based on the pre WW2 BMW with many recent factory upgrades President’s rePort – March 2018 We certainly can’t complain about the weather lately perfect for riding and going to rallies. Attendance at the monthly hub runs has been very good and a couple of rides out through the Yarramalong Valley have been great. Quite a few hours have been spent in the Presidential Shed sorting out a number of long overdue projects. A wave of enthusiasm has seen work going on which was long overdue. The 1971 Triumph T25SS Blazer has finally had the leaking timing case attended to and the clutch reassembled. This revealed that the clutch plates probably should be renewed and new friction plates have been ordered. -

Farewell Bob Ward Remembering Raymond Dhue Members New Toys New Barber 2010 Format Next Survivor Series Well here it is February 15, 2011, Where does the time go. It is with great sadness that we say good-bye to one of our own, again. Bob Ward was a great Friend and Brother and he passed away doing what he loved the most. We will all miss your friendly, helpful, loving per- sonality. Till we meet again. The BIG ride 2010, which was a history making event, was the Scooter Ride, spearheaded by none other than ―Big Daddy‖ Ed Dacus. SO WE THOUGHT . What a great job and a GREAT ride. That was last April. But the REALLY BIG RIDE of 2010 was the November Scooter Ride. Thanks again to all the people involved and a special Colonel Bob thanks to Jeffie Dacus Ed’s Mother, Sherri Dacus, Les- lie Dacus Ed’s daughter-in-law. The Breakfast was OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD AGAIN. NOVEM- BER 13, 2010 turned out to be one of the coldest and rainiest days of the month. But the response was overwhelming. You may know 79 people attended the April event with 49 riders were rolling. The November event brought out 112 people and a total of 97 bikes, 50 of which braved the elements and actually rode the three stop shop tour laid out by Big Daddy and Shane Dorton.
