I've just purchased a Dominator and before the day is out, I've already uncovered some interesting things, so I thought I would share, as I have a little work in front of me. This is a one owner bike, 2015 with around 5k miles on it, so happy it has been used. the owner was very genuine and all in all happy with the deal struck. The bike runs seemingly well, but no test rides, as it was a private sale. I wanted to connect an optimate lead, but note there is a white connector under the tail section. This has battery voltage, so maybe this was a standard charging connection, given the location of the battery? Not sure. I've attached a picture. Can anyone identify this? Having removed the seat cowl, I looked at the ECU. It was loose..both retaining lugs had fractured. Not great, so removed the ECU and the broken mounting lugs....and the lugs don't match the ECU! so it looks like at some point the ECU has been changed....but it looks like a bit of a bodge job. On removing the ecu, there was something rattling inside. That's not great! I had to take it apart and see what the situation was. It was actually three things...2 capacitors and one insulator. It is an SC Typhoon ECU, so I'll be having a chat with SCS next week to see if this is something they would entertain repairing, or if going with an SCS Delta 400 would be a better option.
So, an interesting into to the Norton world!
