My 1961 unit worked fine when I rebuilt the bike, but now the headlight circuit is open circuit.

Has anybody any expertise in opening these things up, cleaning and reassembly? 

Was there a tool kit delivered with this bike? What was in it?), and where did one keep it whilst riding normally?

Thanks.

I've owned my Commando Mk3 850 for two years.  I've recently noticed that the bike develops a low down vibration which appears to be noticeable around the gearbox, it looks to be shaking on rev run off (fine when raving up, shakes when revs cut).

Hi,   Advise needed, I have removed the old bearings from the wheel as per the manual but found a double row bearing on the brake side and 2 single row bearings on the other side, query is this correct as the manual states 1 double and 1 single.

I need to replace the clutch lever spring. Can the clutch lever be lifted from the operator body to replace the spring without draining down the oil and removing the gearbox cover. I am aware that the arm has a ball bearing.

Thanks

Please could someone advise if the number plate support bracket (AN 06.3727)should go on top of the frame 'clip' (AN 06.1121) or between the 'clip' and the mudguard itself.

Hi

I recently had the good fortune to come across someone with a large collection of Commando parts he is selling. There are frames with documents, cycle and engine parts, a complete project bike in parts, a room full of it all.

Hello,

I'm looking for the good way to disassemble the clutch worm nut on the Dollhead gearbox as i want to change the feltwasher inside.

Hi, I’ve searched both on here and the Access Norton forum and the only commercially available paddock stand for a Commando Mk3 that I can find is made by Pit Bull.

Will the NOC be represented, with a stand or somesuch, at Popham this Sunday?

I know the Dommie doesn't have the quietest valve gear. But this morning I tried to find the source of the clatter on mine. I'm not convinced it's worse than others but...

Mention was made on the thread about alloy or stainless rims about the weight of the bolt assembly and  this reminded me of an incident on the road the other day.  On the way to  Shaftesbury on the A30 last week, I swerved to avoid a lump of shiny

Looking in Roy Bacons early book I see a factory photo of an 88 or 99 DL which has been well used on the road but is fitted with  non standard side panels and  tank badges  ,it would appear to be a pre production prototype .  I know that plenty we

I bought my new tank from Andover Norton already pressure tested so I haven't ever put any fuel in it until now.

Hi,

Im switching from a 19" rear wheel to an 18" and considering the pros & cons of alloy v stainless. Will also be changing the front at the same time (19").

My 1972 750 has matching numbers on the frame, engine, and gearbox, however on the gearbox there is a space after the number and then the letter G. Can anyone tell me what this letter G means please?

Hi all,

Probably been answered before at some time but on fitting a new standard camshaft to my MK3 i found when test fitting the cam that as soon as the nut was nipped so did the cam.

Does anybody have a copy of the DVD from the NOC entitled "John Hudson Gearbox Strip " in PAL format that they no longer want/need?

I don't think it's ever going to be back in stock at the "NOC Shop" somehow..

...for '48 Model 30.    Chrono, etc, all correct but getting conflicting info on cable length.

Thanks,

Mike

So my 1951 Manx is completely stripped down. The engine and gearbox has been rebuilt all parts have been painted, now I want to start rebuilding it. My question is what would be the best sequence to do this?

My recent acquired 72 Roadster project currently has no clutch cable. The straightest route from the gearbox seems to be up through a large hole in the bottom of the battery carrier. Is this correct please?

I want to change my M50, Lay down box, kick lever from a fixed to a folding.  I have not been able to get any good info. on which parts will work.  the spline is 24mm dia.

Earlier this year I replaced one Long Roadholder stanchion on my '56 19S. The old stanchion had one very small area where the chrome had pitted, so oil was leaking past the seal.

Have the outer cover off the gearbox to fit a new gasket. Is jointing compound required? If so, any recommendations? Thanks. 

Good evening

I am ourchasing now bike 2M3S 132276

Did anybody go on Sunday, and if so what did you think of it. ?

My Mk.1 Sport  has started playing up again - will not run smoothly at low speed/revs , it will run fine a higher revs and under load . I have had a power commander fitted  and had it  on a reputable dyno and produced 78 bhp  at the back wheel .

Hi

Where is the best place to find an oil pump for a 1935 International 40M are they still manufactured or is it a case of finding a good second hand unit?
