AJS & Matchless Owners Club

In my previous thread I have listed a few problems I have had with my 1957 AJS and the rough running.


I had a thought-why don't I contact the factory to see if they could help as a matter of goodwill, as it's just out of warranty.


To cut a long story short, I have written to them, sent several emails, and tried to call the customer care line.


Nothing, no reply or acknowledgment from Plumstead.


Has anyone else had a similar experience with AMC?

You should have tried sending a telegram to ICANHOPIT WOL-London, you may have got a return notice saying they've hop'd it

I tried to visit the factory at the end of the eighties for advice on carbs only to find they'd camouflaged it as a housing estate. How rude! Skip forward thirty years and I discover they now reside in China!

Im glad this has been brought out into the open. I have a similar problem. I cant find any record of my bike having its first free service

You are all looking for the wrong company you should try Associated Motor Cycles.

Thanks Roy, I'll try directory enquiries.
