Talking to a ex Commando and brit bike owner recently and he said after his bikes had done a few miles every time he did an oil change he added an oil additive that prevented smoking and reduced oil consumption .

Having trouble with gearbox on new m50 1959.  Gearbox seems 

I have a 1957 international and getting ready for its first start in 40 years.

Great breakfast in Malvern motorcycle club. Check their web site for times. Usually around last Sunday of the month.

Wanted P11, N15CS or G15CS gearbox shell for my P11 project. Consider complete gearbox for rebuild. Richard

Have a bit of a dilemma here as I'm not getting any further forward.

I've had to buy a new brake drum due to the sprocket worn out. I've measured it and exactly the same As my old one.

Slimline petrol tanks are secured to the top of the frame by 2 shouldered bolts that screw into captive (cage) nuts, clipped into brackets welded onto the base of the tank.

I have two Norton singles stored in the same garage. I have trouble with one of these machines getting condensation in the primary chain case. This can happen at any time summer or winter. What's going wrong?

Lots of discussion on this in the past but I was wondering if anyone has the latest information on this.

Can anyone tell me what the thread form the two attachment screws are on the battery box cover? The threads are in poor condition and putting thread tape on them isn't doing it for me any more.

Bearing in mind the situation with Wipac rotors on the lightweights ie 1" crank. A O services is doing a special offer to get some/any rotors re-magnetised. This can include the Lucas item but bear in mind these are available new.

Hi

For couple months now i can not scroll pages on the website. Its basically impossible to use the NOC website now. cannot view forum posts of pages because as soon as you scroll down, the website bounces back to the top immediately. 

I'm trying to remove the valves from the head. One exhaust valve came off OK the other won't. 

Hi All, 

Does anyone know who to contact re: Malvern's first Tuesday of the month meet up?

The contact in the magazine has advised me he is no longer involved in the club. 

Hello,  wonder if someone could tell me if the bakelite knob comes off on the steering damper, i cant get it to undo. Barry

I've just dismantled my forks on my 1972 Commando as they were ratting a bit. 

I might be completely overlooking it, but I can't find an option to follow threads/posts. It would be a great addition to be able to get e-mail notifications when you've answered a post or posted one yourself and get some reactions.

Good afternoon
I am please to say DDR (Dads Dominator Resurrection) burst into life last night-some of you may recall I posted a while ago with ignition issues.....

My rebuilt gearbox, newly installed in the bike, spins reassuring freely. However, as soon as I tighten the nut on the gearbox sprocket, even hand tight, the sleeve gear turns noticeably less freely.

First of all, if this is the wrong place, my apologies and feel free to remove this post.

Having said that, this is what I wanted to share:

Is there anywhere that makes bar risers for the 961 . It's OK when your doing 60 or above but town riding and slow country roads makes alot of things ache lol 

I have 1957 wideline  International, the riveted sliding metal disc that supposedly seals the gearbox shaft is very loose. In fact I can spin it. Is this correct, should it be close fit or should there be a felt washer? Thanks guys

I have booked and paid a deposit for the this years Spanish Colombres rally, this included two separate rooms in the very nice Mirador beach hotel in La Franca just up the road from Colombres, I have also paid the deposit for the Brittany Ferry re

Good evening all. I hope a member or members can help me out with something I've been tearing my hair out with.

Building a engine for a Norton wasp and the engine will be upright it's a 750 Judy wondering if I need to do any oil mods to the crankcases and if yes what thanks in advance rot any assistance 

Hello All,

I have a weep of oil from the gearchange spindle - I understand that the NOC quad seal is effective here. I have to drain the 'box - can someone confirm that the arrowed item in the attached is the drain plug?

Please can someone advise me as to the best engine oil for my 1963 Norton 650ss  to accommodate easy kick starting without compromising wear and tear ? Has anyone had experience with Castrol XXL40? 

I remember watching the film "Girl on a Motorbike" in about 1967 but seem to remember a Norton 650ss being ridden . However I have recently been lead to believe only a Harley Davidson was used..
