    High oil consumtion on my new Norge????

    Well I just returned from a 6400 kms trip to the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. The Norge held up well, tires got a good work out on their sides ( rather than the center which happens out on the prairies). Oil consumption was nil for 14 days, just a little slime in the drain tube...

    Flat tire fix " in a can" for punctured tire....

    Re:Flat tire fix Well I decided to check in my local bike dealer in Fort Mac and spoke with a very knowledgeable chap who has been in the business for many years and I always trust his advice as he has yet to steer me wrong. He does not recommend using any type of liquid sealant in any...

    High oil consumtion on my new Norge????

    Hi Graham, I know that I was guilty of driving the Norge too easily, after it's initial break in period. I am used to my old Yamaha 1700 V-Twin which likes to lope along at low rpms. I now realize that the Norge is really happiest in the 5000 rpm range. The last 900 km verified that.

    High oil consumtion on my new Norge????

    Well I rolled into Fort Mac, Alberta earlier this evening, returning from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Roughly about 900 km ride one way,( in 30 km winds gusting to 50+ km, mixed with rain too). Before leaving Saskatoon this morning, I re-installed the plug onto the drain tube coming from the air...

    Flat tire fix " in a can" for punctured tire....

    Thanks Graham, I never thought of just using gold old fashion tire plugs, portable air compressors are fairly inexpesive, don't know if the power outlet on the Norge would handle the load of a compressor, but I would probably just convert the cigarette lighter plug to a couple of battery type...

    brake light flicker ... bad contact?

    Is there any adjustments on the switch that you could see? His switch could just need to be re-adjusted. You will hear an audible "click" when the brake lever is pulled in and again when you release the lever. ( This is the sound of the micro switch opening and closing) Note:The brake lever...

    brake light flicker ... bad contact?

    I would check the brake return spring on the foot peddle to ensure there is adequate tension on the switch, allowing it to close fully. Power to he brake lites can only come from the front or rear brake switches. Being that both switches are exposed to the elements, dirt, water, bug guts, ect...
