Back in the Fold - New Norge (to me)
« on: September 27, 2022, 08:37:24 AM »
I'm picking up another 2007 Norge in (Hi Ho) Silver with 48K miles from the near original owner here in Washington.   Anyone recognize it?  I vacillated over whether to remain with the 2 valve or try the newer 8V, ultimately staying with what I was familiar with, especially since he upgraded the front and rear suspension with the Matris fork kit and Eibach springs, among a host of other things including a Staintune muffler, CalSci windshield and HeliBar risers.    *I always knew one day I would be back in the fold, eager to hear that dry clutch again!  *With that many miles I'm not really sure I should be worried about the oil pump but here is the VIN ZGU_ _ _7M112093 for those in the know.   I'll need to ask questions that I forgot particular to the model like resetting the service light and reading error codes, etc.   

So, any of the family of our Norge riders out there, please help me out with what to look for and ask about other than the obvious defects specific to my 15 year old new Norge.

Has the steering head bearing been greased? What about the swing arm bearings?

Good luck with the bike.

Beetle map. Replace steering head bearings. Just did the latter on my 09 and can hardly believe how much difference it made.

Did the beetle map via GuzziDiag or Steering head bearings make a bigger dif?
