Last oil change Amsoil 10-40 full synthetic motorcycle oil, filter change.Had a full 400 mile day back in June - with a good chunk of it 75 to 85mph - others in the group were riding 10mph faster and the Norton really did not feel it wanted to keep up, so I fell back. I am a fairly spirited rider and usually give it a good whatfer when I am out, nothing I wouldn't do on my 71 750 Commando.I have had comments about the rocker spindles are not properly hardened and/or the bushing material could be improved. I am looking into replacing the bushes with better material. My spindles don't appear to have any marks or wear.I will be looking for any oil blockages, as I have the motor fully apart I will take careful note to make sure everything is clear and then properly primed for startup.
