Donington Nortons

Hi, everyone! I did the craze and bought a nearly unused 961!!!

It is from italy and has a mere 1580 miles on the clock. Runs sweet as a nut....have a 750 Commando from 1972 as well. When first starting it felt like being on the 72' again, but then things changed (grin)....the most important request I have is to please publish the last version of the Workshop Manual. The last one I could get was from 2013. I think a few things have changed since then???

Cheers Hans Toeppich 

Hi,

Ok for those that dont know, I offer tech support for you guys via the address on the back of the club magazine. If you have an urgent question, feel free to contact me via 07890291584, WhatsApp is my preferred format, but anything is fine really.

I've had a few emails lately, and I'm working through them..... I'm away for the TT right now, but as soon as I'm back, I'll play catch up with the queries you've sent in.

Hi Folks, anyone else had issues with this bracket cracking and breaking? If so has anyone had one fabricated anywhere? bikes a 2013 961 sport.

Looking for a gasket cover RH who can order through??

Hi - Now it's spring, getting around to the first engine and gearbox change since I have had the bike.  I have Richard Coote's great notes and the service manual - all seems straight forward - except my gearbox oil filling plug is different to what is shown in either the notes or manuals (pic attached) - is it just a vent pipe to be disconnected first?  A Mk 2 modification?  Thanks.

 It’s an annual event ( apart from last two years) at this pub , on the border of Leicestershire & Northamptonshire , a bunch of 961 s joined in 2018/19 with around 12/13 rolling up , kindly invited by the local NOC group , so get on down chaps to

the wharf inn

Welford  Northampton NN6 6JQ England

    All sorts of nortons there when I attended 4 years ago , a good to destination for sure , see yer there .   

Have a general question noticed oil leaking out of grommet going into crank case.  I think I need new gasket around case but where to get?  any insight ?  please see picture attached.. not sure if I’m getting reverse pressure inside

I bought a 2019 961 last year - only a few hundred on the clock, no service / inspections carried out at all.  I'm up to around 4,000 miles and it runs like a dream really - but leaks oil. Not really leaks - just oozes out and coats the entire engine.

I just wondered if anyone would tell me how to fit a front paddock stand to a mk 11 961. The stands I have seen have the twin spigot cradle type that fits at the base  of  the fork. However, I am concerned this may break off the front ABS sensor. What would you recommend I use?
