Hi all, I've got a problem with my gear change its very stiff in operation, when changing down the box the lever is not returning to its normal position, so I'm having to lift the lever a little to select the next gear.

More probs! With the bike on the centre stand and the chain (apparently) correctly tensioned I note that it just scrubs across the top of the retaining bolts for the swinging arm spindle cover plate.

Good morning.....

I was happily enjoying a run out on my 1959 99 recently back on the road after 16 years.

If I want to cure wet-sumping do I have to take the engine out to replace/refurbish the oil pump on my Dommi 99? Is a new pump the realistic answer? The engine has never been out of the frame from new, 44,000 miles ago.

is there a special socket to get the middle bolt out because it not thick enough to get the socket on I had a problem to get it out

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet. But there is a story doing the rounds that Mahindra (very large Indian conglomerate) is looking at both Norton and BSA.

Hi , well , where do I start , bought a 750 commando a couple of years ago ,was scruffy but owner seemed genuine andbike seemed to run well .

Wasn't a good buy ,everything bodged and badly done , put it down to experience .

The ally housing is fixed to the crankcase with a form of allen screw, and is orriginal. I have not found any key to fit these imperial or metric. any idea anyone?.
