Which brings me to the question:

Are there any german Track owners active, or did one know one who is?
I would be glad to have contact. I need a Copy of the registration papers. Or at least a hint which TüV did the Import.

I am back home, too.

Since 12 hours I have a new enddrive, after the major breakdown last year in december.
So I need to do some inspections, packing and cleanup and will hopefully be able to leave soon.

cu tomorrow,

Hans

1-2 would be great, R & S is one week earlier, so I could make an advanced vacation without missing to much at university.

Hi Arnaud, I have a similar "problem" here, but with a Ruggerini RD210, that engine doesn't have a deko switch. I stopped thinking about that Issue at the moment when I figured out howto kickstart that thing savely without decompression. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXved__Dtkk The camer...

Hi Naron, Is there anybody with more than 60000 km to that kind of engine? I would guess, no. Maybe the watercooled Kipors are working better but they are still so far untested. A Water cooling system makes a great advantage to the noise level, which is one of the critical parts for some conversatio...

Update:

It is up and running.

Hey Sibbo,

Yes it should fit into an Enfield frame if you strip down the front tube. As you can see in the Video.

Those enfields are running the 836cc version of that engine which was a desaster.
The 812er seems to be more relieable.

Hey Greg,

good to read you here at this forum, too.

I used to have an enfield diesel, too.
We should have a talk about the different enfield conversations and their advantages and disadvantages.

Gratulations! There is an Enfield running with some 500 cc kubota engine. http://classic.dieselkrad.info/dieselmotorraeder/Kubota+Enfield+Twin/kubota-enfield-twin.html And I found this link http://roopod.com/technical/ , too. There are several projects with Kubota engines available, but I don't know...

The gearbox adapter parts arrived today from the water jet table! http://wordpress.fnordpol.de/wp-uploads/wordpress.fnordpol.de/2010/09/dsc00286-300x225.jpg http://wordpress.fnordpol.de/wp-uploads/wordpress.fnordpol.de/2010/09/dsc00287-300x225.jpg http://wordpress.fnordpol.de/wp-uploads/wordpress.fn...

I've never driven a motorbike with sidecart. Is'nt it quite boring in comparisson with 2 wheels? Driving a sidecar is different in comparisson with 2 wheels, not boring! :!: Anyway it will be very difficult to drive between the cars to cross a traffic jam with a trailer. Even my Cargo boxes are to ...

This is a new topic, is it? The Elefant Ralley is not planned yet, anyway I plan to ride to the jokkmokksmarknad with a friend which is a weekend later. On the Weekend when the Elefant is, there is also the Savalen ralley. Anyway Elefant has the charme of only 300 km journey so if I feel bad or my w...

Ah, do you mean a second balancing of the whole system with flywheel and pistons and the clutch together? I also thought about it and came to the conclusion that I don't need to do that, because in that case I whould need to balance the whole system everytime when I work on it, because the russian f...

What exactly do you mean with dynamical balanced? They should be balanced every time you modify them, with a new tire for example on the rear wheel or when you modify the flywheel. As far as I know, if no part of the wheel shows a tendency to rotate to the bottom it is well balanced. My flywheel rot...

Hmm, Kickstart!
I am searching for decompression levers at the moment, but I already kickstarted my engine, so it is possible.

I read this topic just now. As far as I know, the original Ruggerini controller C needs to be connected to + of your battery to support the controller with voltage. The connection should be switched by the ignition key to prevent that the controller discharges the battery. B+ must also be connected ...

After I unmounted the gearbox and clutch, I found nothing, so I spend my day in some remeasure activitys. http://wordpress.fnordpol.de/wp-uploads/wordpress.fnordpol.de/2010/09/dsc00280-300x225.jpg On the good side I propably found the solution for some vibrations on higher rpm near the footrests, it...

I don't want to mount anything to the sidecar which is important for the bike. Also there is no space in the sidecar because I want to keep it's cargo capacity. Fortunately I solved the battery/starter problem. The first thing I tried was to mount a second battery to the bike which unfortunately exp...

Hi there,

I have driven 40 km on the Autobahn. The only thing happened was an opened headset, if you mount your headset, make sure that the securing metal is bended over the screw...

I will now put my stuff together and leave in the next two hours!

I made a short rideout with my bike today, 9 km. I need to adjust the clutch and lost one of my cable crimping tools which I forgot on my sidecar before I left.

There is a youtube video available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2vVmy3y7U

I need to do the electric stuff on my bike.
I plan to leave Vienna on thursday.
If everything went fine I will arrive on friday morning.

It startet by a squicky sound coming out of the engine on shutdown. I started my investigation near the gearbox adapter and found out that the sound is there when either the engine is stopped or the bike is moved. So I made the theorie that I can’t hear the sound when the engine is running. So I bui...

On my bikes, I change the cables for the front break every 10000 km / 6250 miles, no matter how they look like.
All the other cables, especially the clutch are giong to be changed when they start to splice out.

It is, obviously, a problem if the engine makes to much torque to get killed by breaking.

Yesterday I mounted the sidecar from my Ural, and modified the Dnepr footbrake so it can operate the Ural sidecar breaks. 8) It is not completely done yet, it will take some additional work during the day to get all the breakes working. I also found out that my batterys are to small for the starter!...

The quick answer is: I don't. My Enfield was converted in Germany and not by myself. But I think it was some kind of shipping involved. In february I finaly sold the bike. If I would build an Enfield by myself I would use a Ruggerini MD190. Those engines seem to work as long as you don't name your b...

I will give my best!

I will make it to Hamm that is sure, but I still don't know if the Machine does. - The front fender is scratching on the wheel - The sidecar is still not mounted - no breaks - no lights - no speedometer And finally I don't know how it will be on the road! I have four days left to solve all these iss...

It is valid, I am the guy with the 3rd one, I don't trust those engines any more! I have heared that there are several factorys in China producing those engines, some of them may work. It is also strange that the engine has a Maximum of 22 HP but you are not allowed to use 22 HP over a longer period...
