Hi,
New to the forum and Norton brand. My father and I just purchased a Dominator and Dominator SS and have had a couple of teething issues at first but after a grand total of 15 miles now, completely stumped by the latest problem and was hoping someone here has knowledge of the issue.
Yesterday at the DVLA, much to my embarrassment the Dominator SS decided to give up the ghost (more so as a Zongshen scooter passed inspection and rode away). The bike would turn over but not start and did so until the battery was about to die. So last night we checked the fuel and spark and after recharging the battery, still no joy. After hunting around on the forum we found a post that the cam sensor maybe to blame. So we swapped the sensors between the two bikes (after all that is the point of having two of the same bikes right).
The Dominator SS fired to life straight away (and better than before as it used to take a few seconds to fire up). The Dominator however did not fire, so problem solved, faulty sensor.
This morning you can imagine how much of twit I looked when I rolled up to the DVLA for a second time only to have it not start on me again. (Luckily no Zongshen scooters were around at this time.) Same issue as before, turns over but does not start. I haven't had time to swap the sensors round again but I am guessing that this sensor is now dead.
The two questions I am hoping someone might know the answers to are:
1. Has anyone experienced this and knows why the sensors would fail after a 3 minute ride? (There was no rain on both rides so I have ruled out water getting in there.)
2. Does anyone know what the resistance range is for a sensor that should be working? I have the workshop manual but couldn't find anything in there about how to test it. And which of the three pins you would use to test it.
Any advice or ideas is much appreciated as we are at a loss on what is causing it.
