CHAINGUARD
The chainguard is held by one nut and bolt to the rear
mudguard. On Bushman models, only one bolt is used
to secure the sidecover bracket, mudguard and
chainguard to the sub-frame lug. Another fixing bolt
holds the chainguard front to the crankcase, but this
bolt need only be loosened.
Release the fixing bolts and carefully withdraw the
guard from the rear.
With the exception of the Bushman, all models are
fitted with a chainguard extension plate, being held to
the left-hand pillion footrest by one small nut and bolt.
MUDGUARDS
Front — Supreme models
Remove four nuts and bolts holding the mudguard to
the support stays. Release one nut and bolt securing
each guard bracket to the fork legs and note that the
left-hand bolt also retains the licence holder. Having
removed the fixing bolts, the mudguard can now be
withdrawn from the front.
The support stays are each secured to the base of the
fork legs by one nut with washers.
Two nuts retain the number plate from below the
mudguard. When refitting, ensure that the rubber
beading is correctly located beneath the plate.
Front — Bushman models
On these particular models it is conventiently possible
to remove the mudguard without disturbing the
support stays, though, with the exception of the
Bushman Pastoral model, the number plate must first
be taken off. After releasing its five fixing nuts and
bolts, the mudguard can be drawn away from the
front.
Rear
The rear mudguard is fixed to the lugs on the sub-
frame down tubes, by two bolts from inside. Two nuts
and bolts hold the guard at the top, to the saddle
support rail brackets.
Take off the left-hand sidecover and remove the
coil, held by two nuts and bolts. Also take out one nut
and bolt fixing the rectifier bracket to the top of the
guard.
Disconnect the rear light cables at their connectors
near the battery. The brown cable is connected to the
brake light switch and the black cable joins the main
harness.
Release the mudguard fixing bolts and take out the
single nut and bolt from the chainguard top bracket,
(not applicable on Bushman models), before finally
withdrawing the guard from the rear.
On Supreme models, the rear light and number plate
bracket is secured to the mudguard by three nuts and
bolts. The rear light and number plate assembly on the
Sports and Bushman models is of a different design,
being fixed at the front by one nut with large washer,
at the support bracket by two nuts and bolts and at the
base of the number plate by a single nut. When
replacing, do not omit to fit the rubber washer on to
the rear fixing stud. Snap connectors are fitted to the
rear light cables, below the bracket, to enable the unit
to be removed.
AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner fitted to the Bantam Supreme and
Sports models has a rubber-mounted wire mesh-
covered felt element, and can be washed in petrol and
allowed to dry at 5,000 miles (8,000 km.) intervals.
The air cleaner removal procedure is described on
page D8, but before replacing check the condition of
the element rubber surround, the rubber hose, and the
retaining band. If any of these have perished they
should be replaced.
Failure to clean the unit regularly will result in the
element becoming choked, causing abnormally high
fuel consumption and a deterioration in performance.
