I would imagine they just cleaned up the cam slightly as they didn't tout any HP increase. Slight changes on lift, duration, etc may have been done to smooth out the engine.
Worth noting that a cleanup may also have extended to changing the grind to reduce port robbing. If you improve the idle stability, you also improve the chatter from the backlash gears.
Hello,
I have purchased a set of S&S lifters based on City Garage’s recommendations and look forward to trying them out.
That's great to hear. My post was about the "performance" version of these tappets(lifters) that requires or works better with higher oil pressure. The standard S&S lifters have worked well for us. And the stock HD work as well.
Flashback on this.

Yeah the 961 commando. The v4 cafe and sv.
Yeah, but you get to wear lycra and helmets to look the part without getting sweatyYeah the 961 commando. The v4 cafe and sv.
My next guess will be electric bicycles.
How hard is it to pedal a bicycle that one would actually need an electric or gas motor on one. Takes the whole purpose of the bicycle out of the equation.
I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing LycraYeah, but you get to wear lycra and helmets to look the part without getting sweaty
Well if it can be done by triumph ,Sure Norton could have one as a factory option ?
Or the “Norton Caboomo 961”
"Norton Combat 961" would be appropriate too.
ABSO-f**king-LUTELY!!!!
Phoenix Norton.
Multiple other inaccuracies as you would expect.How many frames cracked that we know of? One?Pretty basic report from MCN. Apparently, our 961’s were put together using nuts and bolts they’d found lying around!
The mysterious (none-existent) frame cracking got another mention.
