1952 bsa 350
hi there was just wondering if you could give me a ball park figure as to the value of a 1952 bsa 350,i came across this beauty at a antiques sale here in canada,i am very interested in purchasing this bike,but am clueless as to potential value.it is in good condition everything is there,paint a little rough where bird crap sat on it for years,it has only 210 original miles on it,i am not totally unfamiliar with motorcyles,in my opinion all it would need to run is an oil change,spark plug,tank would need to be cleaned and carb cleaned other then that there is still oil in it and compression seems to be good,i know this is not a lot of info and have no pics but it is in remarkably good condition.the asking price is 3500.00 canadian,any info would truely be appreciated.i think i just fell in love again hahaha,sincerly guy arsenault

Restoration
BSA M20 1941
I have got a BSA M20 in s'pore it's in runing condition and the bike is off the road for more than a year, this is because I have been away from the country. I have been having this bike for a long time,past down by my Dad. what I want to do is send this bike to a place (Austrial,England etc..) where some one knows how to restor the whole bike for me and put back the original colour for this bike and work on the engine a little bit, if you want me to send you a photo please le me know.

I woud appreciate if some one could help me out on this so that I can ship the bike down. The reason why I'm doing this because in Singapore we are only allowed lay off the bike for three years and after the third year we have to send the bike for inspection to see whether it is road worthy or not,and if I don't this I have to scrap the bike.

Regads,
Ranjan

Hi there,

I have a 1968 BSA Royal Star.  It is in orignal condition, and other than the decals fading.. very good condition.  It ran well up until a show about 18 years ago, when I had the tank and oil drained. It has been garaged and blanketed since.  I have been watching the boards and have not seen the A50's mentioned.  Any idea what a complete bike would be selling for?

Engine size of this motorbike?
Unknown
This motorbike was bought second-hand in Dover in England in July 1964. I'd like to know how to describe it: 250-twin or 400-twin or whatever. Because I think it is a twin cylinder, but what would the engine size would be? Any relevant information would be much appreciated. (I've got two pictures but I only seem able to attach one.)
Thanks, Errol
South Africa
..............

Hi Russell

Many thanks for your reply. I have one other picture that may be useful. I'll attach it here, but I don't know if it will tell you much more.

I've reduced the pixels of these pictures, but that hasn't really reduced the quality much, so I doubt if the bigger (therefore more detailed) ones will provide any more information. However, if you think they might, I'll gladly send them (but note that they're 260 KB and 500 KB, compared with the 73 KB each of these two, so downloading them might be a bit of a problem).

There is a third picture, but I doubt if that would be of much use as it's only a back view of the motorbike.

By the way, one of the friends called Eustace also answered the query, and he says it could be an A10 (650 cc), which may also have been known as a "Super Rocket", because of the way it was tuned. He used to have an above-standard version of the same machine called a "Gold Star". The only other possibility, he suggests, is an A7, which was basically the same, but with a smaller engine (500 cc).

Many thanks for your assistance.

Regards,
Errol

Engine Oil for 1940 BSA M20
1940 BSA M20
I have a civilianized 1940 M20.  When I bought it 2 years ago it had straight 50 weight oil in the oil tank (for the engine lube) and ran fine.  I recently had it serviced and the new mechanic put in 20W50.  It has some leakage and was wondering if I would be better of using straight 50 weight.  The bike is used in Los Angeles so the weather is usually warm.

Also, what type of oil was originally used for engine lube when these were built?

1969 BSA Lightning
hello.  i am a new BSA owner and am having a small problem getting it road ready.  the engine was rebuilt and since only has 100 miles on it.  it was stored for a while so i removed the dual mikuni carbs and throughly cleaned them.  i also replaced the throttle cables and assembly.  the bike starts fine but at idle if i rock side to side (espically to the right) it will stall.  once on the road, it does the same on turns.  im working on the bike with a friend and we seem to think its something to do with the floats in the carb(s).  they appear to be clean and slide without obstruction.  just hoping someone with more BSA experience can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Finding the originality of a model
1969 & 68 BSA Firebird Scramble A 65
Does enybody have a clear picture of these motorcycles as they came out of the production line. I have had all kinds of descriptions of what the original gas tank and pipes and mufflers look like, only one problem; they all contradict. DOES ANY BODY POSES THE TRUTH?
Thanks in advance for any cooperation.

Whilst buying another bike, I saw this thrown in a corner, found out it had been there about 15 years, made a bid and took it away. Not quite a basket case but needs TLC. Anyway, I have now scrubbed it up and got it running but it needs a fuel tank as this one is completely done for. Any ideas where I may find one please. Thank you. Tony Booth (Halifax, West Yorks)

The photo shows Karuna Ratna Tuladhar, a Nepalese merchant from Kathmandu, on a BSA Bantam in Lhasa, Tibet in 1950. Tuladhar owned a business house in
Lhasa's Barkhor street. He was the first to import motorcycles into Tibet in 1940. The machines were taken apart and carried by pack mules over the Himalaya from Kalimpong in India to Lhasa. The pillion rider is his nephew.
Note the absence of license plates, which were not required in Tibet in those days. Photo (c) copyright Kamal Tuladhar.

Bike I rode in the late 50's early 60's
The bike was a BSA 500cc twin, I think it was a "STAR TWIN", if so would it have been an A7? It had a "Plunger" type sprung frame, (not swing arm) in which years was this model manufactured.
Thanks in advance,
Jack Fuller, Collingwood,
Ontario, Canada.

Thanks for your reply, since talking to my brother in England about this I think it probably was about a 1953, anyway I'll never know for sure.
