Model year differences

Hey!

Been reading through the threads Here on the forum for a while Now and finally decided to get myself a commando 961. Always have had a soft spot for Norton sinds my dad used to own one for years.

Currently there are only 4 bikes up for sale in the Netherlands (where i am from) and I was wondering if there is much difference in model years.

The 4 up for sale now are from 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016.

Any major differences between them?

Thanks

Of those , if the conditions are all equal , I would go for the 2016 . This was the first year of Mk2 and generally Norton had more issues resolved by this year. But all of them can be great bikes.

The only thing I don’t like about the 2016 is the use of the flat pack tilt circuit. If this fails it is hard to troubleshoot and if I understand correctly a spare part is difficult to come by. I believe that a change to the Delta 400 from OMEX would eliminate this flat pack and that’s what a member did from AU . Gojuu did this and also iwilson in NZ. Stu would be the one to ask about spares. If anyone else has more to add about the flat pack and it’s troubleshooting I would love to hear about it.

One more thing. Can anyone tell us what the resolution for the low fuel level light was when changing to the Delta 400 /s ? This only applies to the newer bikes newer than 2016 that use the ecu to turn on the low fuel light. Where the older bikes used fuel pump directly to the relay which turned on the light. Stu might answer this.

Are problems with flat pack common?
