Andy, The frame number shows that it is an 'L' model, one of 100 manufactured between 12/10/89 & 22/02/90. The information below is available in the 'files'...
I am a little confused by the head lights, as I have been told that the early models had small head lights, but mine has the large head lights. Andy ... ...
Andrew If it is an early Japanese model, it only takes new headlamps and a new upper fairing to make it look European. Does it have an information plate on the...
Correct, senility is indeed a terrible thing. Well spotted Will! Regards, Richard. ... a "J" ... Cook ... (as ... it. ... ground. ... in ... when ... number ...
I'm glad you miss read the number as I thought there was some secret code to reading the frame numbers(or I was just being dumber than normal). Thanks guys ...
Hi, I am due to collect my first RC30 this week that has just come in direct from Japan. The bike as far as I can tell was originaly destined for the Japanese...
Eddie I thought the BolD'or sticker only went on French bikes, like RC30 only appeared on the tail of US bikes. Someone else will know for sure. Will _____ ...
Will, Thanks for that, I was just a bit concerned that maybe someone else had put the sticker on the bike and being laquered in I would never be able to remove...
Hi Eddie, What makes you think that it was a Japanese market bike? Just because you bought it in or from Japan does not necessarily mean that it was Japanese...
Hi Vic, thanks for the info that is really handy to know. It was not that I thought that the bike was a Japanese market one as the friend that was selling the...
Eddie, Looks like you have a French spec RC30. That is very good. They were least restricted RC30's with an advertised 120 crank hp. Most of them showed up...
Hi y'all , I am in need of an original front cam gear drive unit and possibly the front cam base holder as well for my friends RC30 project. He's not in ...
Just spiffed up the '30 with black powder coated wheels. I used a CBR600F3 front wheel too. Check it out at www.geocities.com/fiberglassparts Mr. Burns...
Anyone know the part number for the bracket that holds the front ignition coil to the crankcases on the stock bike? Can't seem to find it on the fiche...
I think the bracket you are looking for is a HRC part. I have a bracket somewhere that fastens to two of the clutch cover bolts. The stock coil on a UK bike...
Aaah- perhaps the "stock" bike I'm using for reference is not that stock, although it still has the CDI units in the tailpiece and the rectifier hasn't been...
Hi, I think the bracket has to be used in conjunction with the F1 harness and a small brown condenser unit. The CDI units also fit on a bracket just above the...
looking good mr. burns! i agree, black is beautiful. i've got that very same black f3 front wheel on mine. the rear is still stock gold atm. i've got a...
John, Maxton still sell a nice ride-height adjuster in the UK, around £95 from memory. I use one with stock shock / '45 rear wheel. Regards, Richard....
I have a home made one (I didn't make it) that I'd probably sell. My bike will probably never have a 17" rear wheel on it. If it does, I can always make one....
Eddie & Vic I had the same experience - I also own a French RC30 that was directly imported from Japan. All the info given below is correct as far as my...
Hi all, I am a new owner and that is the second time I have read someone write "check the oil level". Is this something that is very important then? Do they...
RC30's tend to use a little oil, whether it is very little or a lot of oil varies between bikes. How hard the bike is used - ie race bikes use more oil than...
Dries, Thanks for the info. They are great bikes, aren't they. Eddie, enjoy. Vic Dries Nel <dries.nel@...> wrote: Eddie & Vic I had the same experience...
It is very weird how you buy something like the RC30 thinking that there are not to many around, then in the space of owning it for just over a day I discover...
Best by far that I've come across in the UK is with Footman James who gave me agreed value (thru the RC30 owners club) comp. policy at £205 with mileage...
I'm so jealous. I live in California, and I don't know of any RC30's anywhere near here, let alone one for sale. I'm saving money, we'll see what happens....
