Hello.

I have just fitted new swinging arm bushes and now find that the swinging arm spindle will not go through fitted bushes (although it did before they were fitted)

I'm trying to determine which camshaft has been fitted to my 850 MkIII.

As it has no visible markings does anyone have measurments and dimensions that I can check ?

Over the years there has been many an article in Roadholder regarding which oils to use in various Nortons, but has anyone ever queried the service intervals ??

We all know that the chain tension measurements are given when the bike is sat on its wheels, preferably with a rider on it.( Its a bit of a faff when you are doing it alone) But can this be done on its centre stand ?

Local San Francisco man without appropriate ride wants into the off-brand International Rally so he diguises his Norton to gain admittance.

With all my bikes I always keep an eye on fuel consumption, as much out of curiosity as much as anything else.

Last year, which was the first time I had no test cert for my machine after the exemption came in and I duly received the V11 renewal, as was my normal practice despite it saying the vehicle needed a test cert I tried unsuccessfully to renew it on

Whilst assembling my 1950/51 es2 I've discovered how many small parts are missing, thesedo hold up progress also parts that you think arecorrect but when its time to use them there the wrong items.

I've acquired a 1957 ES2 from that well known auction website and will be off to collect it shortly I'm faced with either splash

Thought I would go over the the Whipping Stocks today and see the NW branch, but couldn't find the pub. Where I was sure it used to be was some sort of equestrian business, no lights on inside.

Almost got an Electra back on the road the last bit of the puzzle is getting the wave spring to throw the 3 pawls out to engage the ratchet on the engine shaft.

Hello,I am visiting Ireland together with three other members of the "Norton Owners Club Austria" to see the NW200 Race Week for the first time.

I would like to cut a clutch adjustment access hole in the domed part of my chaincase so that I do not have to remove the whole item just to make a small clutch free play adjustment.

I have had three occasions of total spark plug failure in a few months of test mileage only.

I am now at the point in my Domi rebuild to fit the clutch (AMC 11 plate). However, I have noticed that after having tightened the clutch securing nut, there is no clearance between the back of the clutchand the outer end of the sleeve gear.

I have just replaced the leaky head gasket on my 1954 Big 4. Looking in my manual all I can find is (even and snug) no torque settings or tightening order.

Can anyone recommend a decent 6volt battery for a Jubilee

Thanks

Fellow 961ers

A recent thread discussed steering and the tyre pressures and suspension set-up for our 961s. This has brought up something that I've been wanting to tweak on my bike since first riding it back in March.

I recently purchased a Norton Commando 961 SF. This is the fisrt Norton I have ever owned. I previously rode a Yamaha Virago, 2 BMW's, 4 Moto Guzzi's.

I am wondering what the chain is for?

Well Dave Since our nice web-master as nicely closed the last thread for god knows why,!!

I am looking for a source for one of these for my 1956 ES2 to aid starting but cannot find one anywhere . Any ideas?

Looking through my new INOA Tech Digest I see references to what I presume is a production called Norton News. I have looked for thisin the NOC website but cannot find anything with that name. I guess this contains Tecnical details.

Hi there does anyone know a source of the Norton Easy Start idle screws with the t bar?

I'm currently doing a complete mechanical restoration on my '63 Atlas. I'd like to replace the large rubber grommet that seals the primary chaincase covers. I have not been able to source this part here in Canada.
