I have bought some Miller's 20/50 semi synthetic engine oil for my commando and alsoDommie99 once run in.

However, talking to someone the other day I was told that the synthetic part would destroy the oil seals. Is this true?

I have a set of cast alloy wheels that i bought last year that as far as i can research are CMA or Cambray made.

I've taken the precaution of fitting an oil pressure gauge after my rebuild. I have new big end shells on a reground crank, yes there is a seal inside the timing cover and a new grommet on the pump.

Have realised my gearbox oil is low on my Norton model 50 350 1957 - I have some Titan ATF3000 oil in my garage, would this be ok or could anybody suggest a more suitable oil?

Could someone please tell me what size the nuts are for adjusting the points. Two tiny nuts, one the points themselves and the other its locking nut

Many thanks

Ive rebuit my laydown box with new bushes and bearings, including a roller bearing on the layshaft. It selects sweetly but jumps out of third when warm.

Putting the front back on I notice a loose bracket, My suspicion is that the taper roller bearings are spacing things out, is this a common problem with "improvements"? Can we still get the old ball and cup set-up?.

Hi all,

I purchased sight unseen what the seller said was a 1930 model 18 frame but I saw that it had 588 on the identification so I looks like its a model 19 frame.

I've only just purchased my 650SS so I'm trying to sort out the little issues it has, one of the major ones is just how oval the rear brake feels. I've taken the drum off today but I can't hold it well enough to check how far out it is....

Am trying to rid the bike of various weeping, mistsand dribbles (!), worst of which is around the oil tank.

My 750 Commando has been misfiring and I initially thought the cause was fuel thus the carby was cleaned, checked and float level reset. On checking the plugs I discovered that they spark initially and no spark thereafter.

Hi I'm racing in Belgium my 350cc Manx GP and the front brake has always been a tremendous stopper.
