I think the 4 stud came in 1948. Though some say that some 5 studs was made in -49. My first speedway bike was a 5 stud JAP back in 1969. Not bad from tapes up to first corner, then the JAWAs with better handling frames took over. The 5 stud had an aluminium conrod which over time got longer. If not replaced in time the engine exploded. 4 studs has steel conrod. You had to have blacksmiths hands when changing from warm up spark plug to race plug.

Thank you for interesting information about The JAP engine. Its a friend of mine who own and ride this bike. I myself have a Jawa from 2006.

[@lauriecarter8931]

Yeah luv that smell Castrol R !!!

[@brianporter9508]

Can't you just smell that Castrol R. Not so much an engine - more a work of art.

A 4 stud JAP on methanol?.... Real Brit engineering👍

[@martinrosak3895]

It looks like 5 screws engine. Could be even older then 1952..

[@gungfuriceboy]

just love the 'Look' of these bikes!!!...could they be 'converted' too be Street Legal???...

[@arnebrat]

Remember this bike is specialy made for Speedway, no breaks, no gears, no lights. So I dont think this is a Good Idea!

[@jswaggart01]

It has been done, I have seen at least 2 examples here on KZbin. Obviously the mods would depend on local regulations and laws, and it might not be able to happen everywhere.

[@TombstoneHeart]

@@jswaggart01 The first thing you'd have to do is find a way of replacing the total loss oil system.

[@jswaggart01]

@@TombstoneHeart I guess so. The vids I watched didn’t go into specific detail but they had rudimentary brake system with associated brake lights. And also the right side foot peg was removed or repositioned to another spot. I am not even sure what fuel they ran on either, I would guess regular petrol and not methanol. They had license plates attached too so one must assume they were somewhat road legal. I imagine some countries aren’t too fussed on maintaining some standards.

[@brianporter9508]

Yes, with quite a lot of attention to street requirements. It has been done.
