Replace the bulb and adaptor, The bulb fitted is 6V. 30/24 watt. 

Locate the bottom of the Light Unit and front rim assembly in the headlamp shell or in the fixing 

rim attached to the Casquette fork head. Press the front on and tighten the securing screw at the top of 

the headlamp. 

11. Parking Lights 

Access  to  the  parking  bulbs  is  obtained  by 

removing  the  parking  lamp  rim  (See  Fig.).  This 
is forced  over the  edge  of the rubber lamp body 
and  is  additionally  secured  by  means  of  a  small 
fixing  screw.  After  removal  of  the  lamp  rim  the 
parking lamp lens can be pulled out of the rubber 
body, after which the bulb will be accessible. 

The Bulb must be 6 Volt-3 Watts. 

 
 

12. Speedometer Light 

The bulb fitted is 6 Volt-1.2 Watts.

 

13. Stop and Tail Light 

The rear light is a combined stop and tail light and also incorporates a reflector. 

Access to the bulb is obtained by removing the two screws which secure the plastic cover. 

The correct bulb is 6 volt 6/18 watt. The 6 watt filament provides the normal tail light, while  the 

18 watt filament is illuminated to movement of the brake pedal. 

 
Care must be taken that the leads to the stop tail lamp are correctly connected, as the use of the 18 

watt filament on the normal tail light will not only discharge the battery but could  cause trouble from 
excessive heat affecting the plastic cover. At the same time, the 6 watt filament, if used as a stop-tail 

light, will be ineffective in bright sunlight or at night when the tail light filament is illuminated. 

14. Horn 

The  machine  is  fitted  with  a  6V  x  3  Amps 

D.  C.  Horn.  This  is  a  sealed  unit  and  should 
never  be  tampered.  A  nut  is  provided  with  a 
locking  plate  at  the  back  of  the  horn  for  tone 
adjustment.  DO  NOT  meddle  with  it  unless  it 
requires  adjustment.  If  the  horn  becomes 
uncertain  in  its  action,  giving  only  a  choking 
sound,  or  does  not  vibrate,  it  does  not  follow 
that the horn has broken down, the trouble may 
be  due  to  a  discharged  battery,  a  loose 
connection,  or  short-circuit  in  the  wiring  of the 
horn. It is also possible that the performance of 
the  horn  may  be  upset  by  its  mounting 
becoming loose.

 

Sparking Plug: 

Mico H-W 14521 or equivalent. 

 

Owing  to  electrode  burning,  the  electrode  gap  widens  in  operation  and  may  impair  the 

performance  and  economy  of  the  motorcycle.  Therefore,  the  electrode  gap  should  be  adjusted  to  its 
specified  dimension,  i.e.  (0-45  to  0.55mm)  0.018"/-0.020"Check  the  electrode  gap  every  3,000  Km. 
Replace  plug  after  about  15,000  Km.  The  glazed  insulator  head  should  be  kept  clean.  Spark  plugs 
showing excessive deposits of carbon should be subjected to sandblasting. Make sure that the electrical 

contact exists between the high tension lead and the spark plug terminal.
