I understand the drive chain went from 5/8" x 1/4" to 5/8" x 3/8" at some stage on the Dominators. My 1957 88 looks like the smaller size? were the sprockets standard for all the 88's? So what ever links are quoted it should be right.

I am trying to source a new primary chain case aluminium screw in oil filler plug for my navigator which has got the usual damage to the tightening slot. No joy in the NOC shop, Norvil catalogue or ebay - does anyone know of a supplier?

I've noticed a small amount of white smoke when the throttle is blipped and - I'm told - when running normally. I fellow NOC member suggested water in the fuel tank.

I'm looking for a clutch lever for my 1952 ES2 with lay-down box - I need one with 1 1/16" pivot centres and a plain blade.

On 1959 Model 50 - just had the Oil Pump refurbished by RGM Norton. However, on turning the drive cog with by hand it seems quite stiff ! I was expecting it to turn over easily and freely. Is something wrong, or is this normal ?

I am not sure where to put this request. Last time I managed to get to a TT was in 2007 and the fellow who housed us at the time has decided not to do so any longer.

I bought and fitted a Chinese rev counter. It works by sensing the spark lead impulse via a cable wrapped round the lead. It is set correctly (4 stroke single) but seems to read about double what I consider the revs to be.

Hi

Hi

Is there a connector to read error codes that cause the engine management light to come on, if so where is the connector located and can you read the codes with the same equipment used on cars?

Thanks

Hello all.

As the title suggests I know itâs almost impossible to diagnose issues without seeing or hearing the bike but I am now at my wits end.

Please bare with me I will try and give a brief history.
