Anyone who hasn't disassembled the primary and timing side for the usual checks and updates is asking for these issues. Also, it's a good time to update the starter and double-check the shift paws for wear.
Yes sir...
Have you used heat on the bearing/shaft ? This will free the loctite .
Yep, sprocket is all good...
Yes tried some heat few times....
Which one do you recommend?
Mmmmmm CG, I’m slap in the middle of that group - 7 years 15k! She’s sounding fine (the same as always) and running sweet. Reluctant to be starting to strip given that scenario. May rethink though!
Don't want to worry you mate but mine fell apart at 16.5K and it too sounded and rode fine
maybe Norton should have made them with Perspex outer cases for remote inspection of said problem.
I have had a few bikes through the shop that run like that, but we still welded the basket pins for security and checked all the other bolts and hardware. You also get a birdseye view of the primary wear because the little ledges by the screw holes will keep shavings on them even during oil changes, so you can at least see if there are other issues.
Indeed.
Ahh but since I fitted roller skates to the end of the silencers when the front wheel lifts due to their weight at least they don't drag on the ground......
