This rare iconic bike recently came into The Motorcycle Workshop at Bolney to be recommissioned. It had been standing for a few years and had all of the expected issues. The battery had died, the carbs were seized solid, the front brake was seized on, and of course the oil & filter & coolant needed changing. It was a real privilege to be given the task of getting it back up and running. A joy to work on such a wonderful machine. The RC30 is a bike on which many championships were won by the likes of Carl Fogarty, Joey Dunlop, Dave Jeffries, Fred Merkel, Freddie Spencer, Steve Hislop, Phil McCallen and many more. It was quite sad to see it leave the workshop, but the owner is so pleased to have it back ready to ride.

I had the pleasure of having one one of these in the mid 90's. Still my favourite bike to ride and look at and I have had modern high capacity bikes.

I’ve owned 4 RC30. Subframe always broke. Freddy Merkel rode a CD-R not a Rc I bought it. I must admit I’ve still got a soft spot for them. Same performance as a 1000cc from the same year . That looks a lovely bike.I px ‘d one of my RC’s on a Yamaha owo1. I regretted it before I even got home.

"..get it to a track day.. They're so valuable so it's never going to happen" What a pity! I can understand it, but I think if I owned it, I would use it. I own his cheaper street sister (RC36), and I only can imagine something similar much lighter and with this race position.. it has to be very special. By the way, I always fill the oil filter before mounting it too. Very good job and thanks for the video!

I did a bit of racing myself and saw one of these in Hockenheim at a race weekend for amateurs. It was raining the whole weekend and nobody did many laps. The guy with a perfect RC30 decided to lose his temper and put rain tires on , only to crash the beauty. Will never forget that. What an idiot and what a beautiful tiny bike.

Pre loading the filter is a bad idea , you risk getting contamination into the already filtered side , whence crap getting straight to the crankshaft. Dont do it, its never recommended by any manufacturer for that reason.

Rc 30s ridden on the street would often scuff the camshafts because of low oil pressure to top end at low rpm s it's a race bike meant to rev

Question. The brake torque arm isn't to keep the caliper in the same position but to transfer the force from braking to the frame not the caliper mount right?

I had the 400cc version of this (NC30) and I loved it. Right up until a gang of scumbags nicked it. They probably thought it was an RC30 so I guess I got the last laugh.

Hi, You mean the whole bank of carbs? Tilt the back out, then the front. You may need to gently warm the rubbers with a hairdryer or heat gun to soften them first.

@@mcwbolney6417 Thank you very much for your help, It works, I have to admit I'm not happy to have done it myself...it's a change from a bike with only 1 carburettor ;) now I have to find the gaskets to change everything but in France it's rare...or else I'll send to PE UK...
