I was fascinated at how much thought and care to entice wrenching with such beautiful components and the test checking till I heard the horn. Oh no no no they have gone way too retro to have reproduced the infamous "Bee under a Bonnet" bleet. ugh.

:lol:

Check that oil comes out of this hole for the transmission,whoops nothing came out.
Torque the hex to 15n/m then a pop up says 20 n/m
Yikes.
 
hehe, ya mon, its shapping up to be another Norton with quirks that need a caring daddy-o. I am sorely against and aghast at any task that requires balancing the bike away form its side stand, especially if having to twist head down and around so its easy to get just past point of no return w/o knowing it till too dam blam0. I may of mentioned I've crashed a bit on THE Grit and still fresh in mind - replaced brake lever and thinking almost out loud to myself how long this would last - as not yet even clipped off the end preventively I squatted on clutch side, eased a lift off side stand some reason and it just kept going to crack the new one to trash with my self respect. Can't ya just picture the future forums sharing tranny oil check events by perfectionist.
 
Seem to be quite a few items such as rear shock bottom bolts, where the torque is supposed to be checked, but to get anything more than a short allen key, you would have to drop the silencers. The video sort of skidded over those issues.

Do any of the 961 models come with a centre stand?
 
Call me a critic but I am sure he backs the fork pinch bolts off under the guise of checking the tourque!
nicely engineered bike though and i wish them every success.
 
Best of luck to them also.
Do you have any more pics of that red fastback in your avatar ?
Could it be a stock 1971.
 
They seem quite concerned with leeks .
