At the risk of being thrown off the forum and with much respect to the more experienced members (
) I cannot help giving my 2 cents worth.
Since fitting a (manual) inline ball valve to the BSA oil feed was so successful, I also fitted one to my Matchless with similar results.
Placing a reminder on my throttle grip seems foolproof. I use a dedicated colourful rag.
After a ride I leave the valve open overnight so I have some residual oil in the sump for a priming start up next time.
Cheers all, Hadrian.
