I have just purchased a 1953 ES2, in reasonable condition.
I want to be able to replace / top up all appropriate gear boxes / sumps etc. I have purchased "The book of the Norton" but it is very dated in its references to oils etc.
Please can someone recommend:-
1. modern equivalent oils for allindividual applications
2. appropriate reference book(s)
My current strategy is to service the bike, ride it a bit before embarking on upgrades (re-chroming etc.).
Thanks in anticipation, Ian

You'll find little agreement on the best oils to use however compatible oils are easy to find. Most people pick non detergent oils for the engine, either 20/50 or straight 40 or 50 and EP 80/90 for the gear box but best to stick to GL3/4 which suites old bushes.
