Just in the process of stripping down my 1979 ish Suzy B 325. The swing arm bolt appears to be quite stuck in the frame. Any advise on removal, obviously trying not to damage anything ? Any help / guidance would be appreciated.

My Suzie B is fresh out of long term storage. Pushing Suzie in neutral she has heavy drag and feels like trying to push her through deep mud. Feels like the drag is in the engine part as wheels turn quite freely. What do we think the reasons may be please ??

HI to all members, my name is Steve Owens and I joined the club under the previous administration but am now only getting around to posting an intro. I bought my (3rd) Beamish a while ago with the intention of doing a few easy trials. I used one of the others in Twin Shock trials and preferred it to the Montesa, Ossa and Bultacos' that I had used before. However, using a modern bike on practise ground made me realise that Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea with aging body and healing properties. The last trial I did was in 1993! But I do love the look of the bikes, in particular the looks of my 1977 in Heron colours. So, I road registered it with Lee's help and will use it to pop to the coast as I live 3 miles out of Worthing. Unfortunately it has now lost it's spark and when I started to unravel the (very neatly taped) loom, I found all the joints were just twisted together. I soldered the joints but still no spark, I have also changed the plug and cap. On checking the coil resistance I got zero readings so this may be the fault. I am considering fitting a modern set-up but first would like to know what readings I should have at the 3 wires from the flywheel if anyone would be kind and or knowledgeable enough to let me know. Best Wishes to all. Steve Owens
