This video shows progress to date after a bit of a break from working on the Nemesis. Ive decided that the original throttle tube may not be ideal and is problematic with no basic lubrication and bad sealling around each port and has to be bypassed with a conventional butterfly system from a Honda CBR600. A new Canems ECU has been especially made to replace the old and unsupported ecu so I now have a chance of getting the engine to run well, and the bike is now finally ready for a proper test ride on a private road.
The Norton Nemeses is a pre production prototype that was made in the late 90's with claims of a 200+mph top speed from its 1500cc fuel injected V8 engine.
As far as I'm aware, this is the only bike that has survived but if any of you know of other bikes please leave a comment. This bike is owned by the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham UK has been on display as a non running exhibit for many years.
I have already worked on the bike last year getting the engine to run after a few rudimentary checks, new oil and batteries for series 12 of Henry Cole's "The Motorbike Show" where Henry rode it for a few miles up to around 50 mph, but it wasn't running very well and was leaking a lot of oil and coolant.
Episodes of "The Motorbike show" can be seen on itvx player on line and some shorter edits are available on Henrys YouTube channel.
