went for a ride on satarday on my blue h2 when suddenly engulfed by blue smoke at the traffic lights, right hand pot started to push my carbon emmisions for london through the roof!, no loss of power bike pushing normal but man the smoke. have not had the heads or barrells of since 1988...no extra noise or anything ..but shes a rattler now anyway with 57k on the clock..time for rings or red ex.??..just bloody taxed it as well from the first after being sorned for a year.

looks like it's running on a diet of gearbox oil......RH outer crank seal kaputt, changeable without a strip

If you paid for your road tax, you should'nt be on a blue H2????? should be historic

THANKS ...NO ENGINE OUT THATS GOOD NEWS...THE BIKES A BLUE H2 REG FEB 1973 SO I MISS OUT ON FREE TAX BY 2 WKS. FOR EVER.

That right outer crank seal ..is it available on its own or would it be part of a pack? theres a engine oil seal set at z power for h2s at £30..is it part of that?

heard someone can get the bikes road tax free,
it can be on the chassis number or build date, not the road registered date,

+1 I heard that toooooooo

Mine was one of the last UK blue H2's registered, July 73, still got historic tax class though

You need one of these

ok lets get this clear

the law states
"any bike manufactured.... yes manufactured before 1st of January 1973 is tax free"

so if you have a h1b a 72 blue h2, a h1D they should all be tax free

if your bike was registered after dec 31st 1972 then you will need a dating certificate like kas750 has and your bike will be tax free

ps my M registered h1B is tax free as I got a dating letter to prove it's year of manufacture

THANKS BITZKART...anybody know the simplest place to scource the outer crank seal behind the clutch?.

My H2a was registered in feb 73 but RB proved that it was manufactured in late 72 from the frame and engine nos

You stand a good chance yours is too. Its costs but its money well spent getting a certificate
