Hi everyone, I stripped down a friend's 1956 D1 yesterday and discovered a seriously terminal bottom end problem. Big end bearing badly worn (probably also...
Tony, The flywheel puller only costs a few pounds so you have to doubt the sanity of those who try to make do without it. All the books tell you of the danger...
... If it is the narrow big end crank then these turn up cheapish (35ish pounds) from a number of the usual sources, rather than straightening the nearside...
I have created a new site on the BSA Bantam, in the future I hope to have all kinds of information on there, but for the moment it mostly contains service...
Dear all, Tom and I fitted the Atom module to my D1 yesterday and everything seems to run OK (how does it work, though?) Today I used the bike to get o my work...
Since I discovered that a local neighbour heats his house with Kerosene (Parrafin) I was wondering if I can run my D14 on it as even buying it at 15 pence a...
I saw an old advert in a bike mag that was selling stiffer fork springs for the later Tiger Cub (with D7 forks) and was wondering if they were still available...
Whilst I may at some time put paraffin in my M20 just to test that it does work, I think I'll stick to good old petroil in my D1. Stuart Seale BATH 1941 WDM20 ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, A plea for help. Over last weekend I fabricated a copy of the centre stand spring bracket and clip that I have fitted to my D1 in order...
Toby, Try CMES of Yate. I copy this message to Sean Hawker, the proprietor and BSAOC member who I'm sure will be in touch. He did a good job on my son Tom's...

Dear all, Have decided to go ahead with the powder coating of my ex GPO D1 in the correct colour (red). The trouble is that one of the wheels has been chromed...
Hi Stuart, I had to strip the chrome rims I used for my '49 D1 (they are now painted) so I took them around to the local chrome plater who "pickled" them...
Stuart, I'll take the assembly off a bike tonight and try and scan it for you. Regards, Tony ... format. ... centre stand ... one on ... stand stop ... ...
Hi everyone, I need help (and not just because I'm a Bantam rider!). I took my D3 for a ride last weekend. I bought this bike a couple of years ago. It was...
Tony, I have to admit it sounds like pinking that you may get in a car from using poorer quality fuel. As you say, you only have a few degrees adjustment on...
Thanks Stuart, Did the full de-coke and went on a rally today. Seized twice. Do you know which direction is advance ... clock wise or anti-clockwise? Bye, Tony...
Hi to all, This one might seem a bit basic, but what the hell.....we all have to start somewhere!! Just wondering what is the best fuel to use in a D14/4 1968....
Keith, I think unleaded should be OK but I err on the side of caution and use LRP. The bikes are so economical that the slight extra expense of the petrol ...

I've had a similar problem with a D7, caused by too low a carb needle. Set up the carb using original BSA data. Haynes is two notches out for the D7 so could...
