Hi,
Is it possible for a photo of pannier fixings ?

Hi Geoff I fill concerned with your report since I faced a similar situation with my Classic LE043 I took it out yesterday, and it was running fine for about 20 miles. However after a fairly long slow decent, when I opened it up it lost power and seemed to be "chugging". It did get me the ...

IMG-20210718-WA0004.jpg To John Birchjar and Holger Yes gentlemen, you scare me ! Referring to your posts, I take stock about long storage protocol for a Norton Classic. Sorry to say I find this odd compared to a casual alternate piston motion engine maintenance; aside from crankcase oil draining o...

Thank you to Interpol2471 for his post. The rev counter failing is the rev counter itself as the capacitors inside dry out and often cause them to fail. Do you know any repair return about the failing cause you point ? I checked on the Norton Classic Wiring Diagram (SECTION HH20) and noticed that th...

Thank you to David Bracey "DB6" for his welcome post. I suppose a France living fellow, Paris area living? Even a French citizen, same as I am ? I am a member of Vincennes en Anciennes https://www.vincennesenanciennes.com/ are you also a member? No I am not, but why not. I may join ... But...

Thank you men for all these contributing posts. Sorry not to have been on the wire for a while but I was in my submarine under north pole sea ice. wink No I tease, but as casual retired one, I must be in help of very very ageing people (my folks), and even as retired it is quite a job. I may have a ...

Thank you to Tony &John for explanations.
I am still under learning process

Hello Assen,

Sorry with these odd questions but I am brand new within the Norton Rotary world (I am the proud owner of CLASSIC LE043)
What is a Minimag ignition-unit ?
On what type of Norton rotary has it to be fitted if so ?
What is it used for ?

Thank you

Thank you very much John for your concern to my questionings. In the meantime, I checked CLASSIC vs IP2 documentations and if it appears that both machines are provided with E.I.U (thank's God smiley ), IP2 is fitted with Idling Retard Unit whereas Classic is not. I wonder why, and why it should be ...

John B wrote re: fuel tap, In all the 70,000 miles and 30years of ownership I VERY rarely used the "pri" Thank you indeed John; sorry not to have taken time for answering. Thank you for your advice, but I still get confused with the use of it since LE043 cold start does not work on <ON>, a...

Thank you John for your concern. In fact the engine has a rev idle @850 - @900. It should be OK so far. New NGK C8E spark plugs (as recommended by Mr. Negus) I may face difficulties to start the engine: When " cold " (even with very mild weather; 25°C - 28°C), I have to put choke on quite ...

My name is Jérôme Sfartz, living close to Paris, France and I am glad to join this technical community. In 2014 I bought a Rotary Classic, LE 043, brand new, from a British gentleman Mr Clark. Before my acquisition, the motorcycle was overhauled under Mr Negus authority. I am coming quite late to th...
