CSR difference?

Post by spotpaul »

Hello all.
Recently acquired a 1960 g5.
Looking for various spares and keep seeing reference to csr's. Can't find any Wikipedia on the bikes so wonder if anyone can tell me how a csr differs from mine.
Indeed, what does csr mean?
Many thanks in anticipation,
Terry.

Take a look at the sales brochures for your bike's year, under the 'promotional' tab http://archives.jampot.dk

From distant memory of my 14 CSR, different carb, intake diameter and larger inlet valve, higher compression - 10.5:1? Different forks I think. Not sure but you'll be back at the top of the list! Then someone will give a sensible answer.
