I had a 600 dommi that wss a cow to start
Very smokey 😮
It didn't start 2nd kick, smokes and backfires. Something is out of adjustment and worn on this bike.
Nice Norton….
Great video
no compression release?
You've got timing issues. That's why it's tough to start and backfires.
He did not seem familiar with that bike. I had a Norton Atlas for years. You never start the thing after you take it off the center stand. You start it on the stand and then after it starts, you take it off the stand! Really?
Had a ‘68. Going 450 miles a day was nothing, as long as I kept it at 4225 4235 rpm. Minimal vibration at that range. Rode it for eight years. Gave it to my oldest son when I made a grave error, bought a 750 Shadow. Top end went South at 1200 miles.
Hi , this video has only just caught my eye because I ride the 650SS and at the wrong side of sixty I'm no spring chicken iether but I carry a few more lbs. than this chap 😂 , the smoke at start could be aa bit of wet sumping and a bit of "popping" both no big problem ,, starting is much easier with it on the stand , mine on a warm day 1st or 2nd kick but on a cooler day ,, lets just say it doesn't like the cold nice bike , I hope you're still ennjoying it
Very nice sound !
Mine used to leave me stranded or throw me into the air , until I had the magneto rewound . Many were faulty from new . It's hard-work balancing and kicking-over an Atlas when you have a few years 'under-your-belt' , not as bad as a large Brit-single though (don't google 'that', some things can't be unseen ) My 2003 W650 is a piece of cake and doesn't need its electric-starter .

Your front brake needs new linings
I bought a Norton Atlas a week after passing my test in 1971. I was 17 years old. I paid £159 for it from Birmingham Motorcycles. EOB 81C where are you now?
Wonderful,, 😃😀 cleverest good design
Easier to Kickstart whilst on the center stand. God, I miss the one I rode back in 1964.
I just love kicking a bike over not but that started prity good lol
Mine is two slow prime kicks find just before TDC slight retard ign then give it a nice heave, so long as no one is watching or filming it goes, and that single row chain and AMC clutch mmmmmm🤔
This is why as an older bloke I won’t buy a bike with kickstart 😂
Had a 61 600 cc Domi SS. Open dual carbs. Fast once rocker arms turned back around. Two kicker most times never more than four or five, unless the Zener diode was busted again.
If it were me, I would have turned down that hill, snicked second gear and started that bike like a racer. I was a Norton triumph mechanic for several years. I loved the Commandos. I hated the Atlas or more accurately I hated the worn out Lucas mag that came with it.
Well-said mate. It destroyed a great bike . Dave NZ
This bike needs some points set, spark plugs changed. Put the bike on center stand and start, once started put your gloves, helmet 🪖 while the bike warms up.
NORTON Motorcycles are excellent machines but with the Aluminium Engine the weight and Size of the Engine should be made Small so that the Motorcycles will catch the world market
Its the art of kicking an old bike....ahaahhahah
Is this a 250 cc?
It's an air cooled engine. Needs warming up. Notice the smoke on start up? This is why you start it, then put your helmet and gloves on. Less sweaty too.
Right!
Slow motion footage always looks amazing whether it is this, quick handgun fire or a car drifting.
Hi Roope - so much information made visible
Brilliant
Such a pecaful place!
and the air is so delicious!
if you wonder why norton folded, 10 kicks is too many. my honda cb 92 was electric start, pretty much press button, go. brits ignored those little bikes, and then the 750 ran away from them, 6 months later kawa had a 1 liter faster still.
90% of the time my commando starts 2nd kick but if it’s in the huff it can take 10 kicks. I like the video good lad 👍
I just bought a commando and found it difficult to start at first. From what I have read, if you cant start it with a couple of kicks, the bike either needs some work or your technique needs some work. Anyway, this bike didn't sound like it was running well. Lots of white smoke and misfiring at the start. Good luck!
Lovely old bike .I think the engine needs a bit of t.l.c . .nice kick-starting . .nice to see a old atlas on the road
Yeah. It sounded like it’s in dire need of a tuneup. Like the carb and the ignition timing are off quite a bit
dont get me wrong but some of these people that own these bikes dont seem safe to operate them, how they get back alive baffles me
What did he do wrong?
You are referring to the 18 TO 30 YEAR OLDS I presume ????????
..let the machine warming first..then you ride..ooohh what a poor bike..
Moron
What for? The engine warms up much quicker while driving. Therefore the run time with cold oil is significantly reduced.
..i'm mechanical engineer..i know very well..
@@din9605 So being an engineer is your argument? I thought you might give some insight into the why.
@@din9605 I don’t agree with you . I c engines working outside their normal operating temperature range suffer from accelerated wear. Within reason, the quicker the engine reaches its normal operating temperature and works at that temperature the slower it will wear. That is not to say however that they should be thrashed from stone cold.
Love this
Thank you Gwyneth!
Brilliant!
