Heard a rumour that Norton will be open for spares within two weeks, that's good news if it's true.

961 - No Rear Brake
Forums
Hi all,
Ist ride this year on my 2017 961 and when applying the rear brake nothing happened, the pedal bottoms out and absolutely no brake effect.
I had a spongy brake which was sorted at the 1st service, this was put down to air in the system from intial build, apparently it was a known issue because the brake pipes go up in to the ABS module under the seat and sometimes air gets trapped. Anyway before it was laid up last year the rear brake was fine, now i have no rear brake.
New Member, 961 Dominator parts
Forums
Hi folks,
just joined and hoping for some help. I've searched the forum and found some useful links and part numbers but not having much joy as yet due to the current CV19 lockdown and Norton administration. I've also posted on Access Norton...
I'm specifically looking for the Dominator race kit, I have the megaphones but not the race control arms, etc. Is there anyone on here with some will to part with them?

961 Parts
Forums
As I wanted to change my Dominator around I did some researched and found that http://www.ritchie-engineering.co.uk were responsible for some machined parts for both the 961 range and the V4 range. (There were several V4 alloy swingarms lying around). I was able to purchase a new top yoke for mine and they also arranged for http://www.mansfield-anodisers.co.uk to do their magic. Parts are very reasonably priced and if they don't have something in stock they can make just about anything. They were so helpful it restored my faith in human nature (Well nearly).
Oil Filter
Forums
Where can I get the correct oil filter for my 2012 Mk1 961 ? Norton had previously done my services but now I'll be doing my own. Good chance the oil filter is a standard one fitting other bikes - have trawled the usual filter specialists online but nobody lists the 961. Any clues ?
