AJS & Matchless Owners Club

Hi guys another new member.
I recently purchased a 1960 G2 can you tell me the difference between a lightweight and a heavyweight as there does not appear to be any reference on the log book , if this helps the engine number is 60/G2 7868 and the frame is 9950 . I also have a problem with no oil return and from what i have read here there appears to be a difference between the light and heavy in correcting the problem

Hi

The clue is in the forum topic

Information relating to the Matchless G2 or AJS Model 14 250cc Lightweight

Welcome to the club - first stop, check out the archive:

A light weigh G2 engine is different to a heavy weight. It has other differences, like lighter, frame, wheels, forks etc. Below is a 1961 sales cat. G2 and G5.
G5 is a 350 light weight. G3 is a 350 heavy weight. Spot the difference. There was no 250 heavy weight. See also instruction book for your bike.
