Hi, I have used the 'search' box, but to no avail (probably me, do'h!) Can anyone point me to general specifications for routine service specs for a 1000 twin? Just looking for general engine and gearbox things, oil type, ignition timing, valve clearances etc. for the motor in my Mossey built Egli rep. Cheers in advance, Steve
1000 twin service specs
- Thread starter Dingocooke
- Start date
Plenty of doumentation available Riders hand book,richardsons etc all available to purchase on line
all needing interpretation materials oils and riders abilities have altered in 70 years
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vincent-Motorcycles-Paul-Richardson/dp/0952066238 (not that I should reccomend those people after seeing how they treat their staff)
flea bay, Vincent spares companies
and of course vincent owners ..... JOIN THE CLUB
personally I bought all the books and read them before I bought the bike and that was when bikes cost less than £100
NB The thought just struck me, you mean you bought a Mossy Vincent and at that price he supplies no instructions?

Don't use Amazon - Use the VOC spares company. Join the VOC and you'll even get a discount.
Ah!! Too late, bought the Clymer manual, they're usually ok and the content is all Richardson, so should fill in the blanks re service spec...Re the club, I am a VMCC member for what it's worth (and where I found my Egli for sale) thanks for all the encouragement, and I am sure it will be worth it, but it gets a bit expensive joining all the one make clubs you've got a bike for; CRMC, Norton, Triumph, Suzuki, Triton Specials, Vincent, Yamaha etc. at about £30 a pop each :-D keep smiling and keep riding!!
There is a large amount of info on the VOC site for members and, of course, I think the VOC is the best one make club, so it would be an easy choice!
Also, the parts discount could pay for your membership.
how much is the parts discount out of interest, and is the spares scheme open to signed up only members? Cheers Steve
Here you go Steve and I agree with Bruce about the VOC being the best club.
