Fig. 12. Draining the oil from the gearbox
The clutch
runs in an oil bath (oil from the gearbox).
The telescopic front fork dampers:
After the first 100 km. (600 miles) drain the
damper oil from both front fork legs after having first unscrewed the drain plug
(14). Remove the headlamp reflector and dismantle the headlamp top nacelle (see
Part-III, para 10) to obtain access to the top nuts (1) and unscrew them from the
fork tubes (3). After having drained the oil rinse both the fork legs thoroughly with
petrol (make the suspension play several times), drain the petrol and let it dry.
Having screwed in the drainplug (14) fill both fork legs with 175 c.c (of damper
oil.) No more oil changes are needed except in case of dismantling the front fork
or replacing a worn seal. It is recommended to check after every 2,000 km. (1,200
miles) (see Fig. 34)
The rear dampers:
As compared to the former the new type dampers have
increased damping efficiency, and they are so designed that no topping up with
oil is required. It is recommended to have any possible repairs, cleaning the
interior etc. done in specialist workshop.
