Thought I fixed the oil burning,, :(

That definitely was the problem. I had the bike out this morning and did a lot for WOT/coast down/WOT in various gears and not a trace of smoke.

Gotta wonder about the well-know seller of Brittbikes that guaranteed they had gone through it with a fine tooth comb and that it was totally "turn key." This issue is just one of quite a string of issues the bike had when and since delivered - some of them truly dangerous on the road (no oil in either of the front forks, one totally rusted; one rear shock with a broken damper rod so no damping on one side...oops, sorry, I could go on for paragraphs about this POS company and the absurd price I paid..)

I have come to the conclusion that if you want to buy a Norton, either buy a "barn bike" that you KNOW you will need to rebuild everything or at least assume that even if you buy it from a prominent dealer who tells you it's perfect, assume they are lying and treat it like you found it in a barn, REGARDLESS of how pretty the bike looks on the outside. ;)

Yeah, we already assumed that. Hence one of the reasons this forum is so popular, a lot of people figure if you didn't do it yourself, you have no idea what was done.

So if we all had web cams mounted in the garage or wherever our Norton work is done we could do it live! I have a friend who would say that if you wanted a webcam wherever you do your Norton work, they would have to be mounted periodically along the side of the road. :)

Thanks All!


Now THAT's just funny.
