for the brakes — effective braking of the motorcycle before the levers reach their limits.
The brakes are checked when the fully laden motorcycle is running on dry asphalt or concrete
pavement. This check is done at a slow speed.
CONTROL CABLE MAINTENANCE
The daily preventative maintenance involves checking the functioning, condition and fastening of
the tie rods, cables and braking action. Refer to the Service Coupons for lubrication schedule.
As per the service coupons;
•
check the condition of the brakes
•
clean the brake shoes and the active surface of the brake drums
•
lubricate the hinge pins and the cams of the brake linings, the joints, the linkage of the rear and
sidecar wheel brakes, the lever axle, the parking brake, the throttle control twist grip, the lever
pins and ends of cables used in the clutch, the front brake control, the control cables used in
the clutch, the front brake and the throttles.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer scale is illuminated with two lamps. The speedometer is driven by the main shaft
of the gearbox via a flexible shaft.
After every 10,000 km, remove the speedometer from the motorcycle and add five or six drops of
oil into the speedometer where the cable inserts into the speedometer. This will lubricate the speed-
ometer internally.
