Wheels and Brakes
TO REMOVE THE FRONT WHEEL (350 c.c. Model)
With the front wheel clear of the ground, disconnect the front brake cable, then remove
the nut that secures the brake torque arm to the front brake cover plate. Release the
four nuts (No. 31, illustration 12), unscrew the front wheel spindle right side sleeve nut,
then the wheel spindle can be withdrawn, leaving the wheel free to be taken away.
TO REMOVE THE FRONT WHEEL (250 c.c. Model)
Place the machine on the centre stand and disconnect the front brake cable.
Release the two nuts at the back of each fork slider which secure the bottom front mud-
guard stay, and tap the threaded end of the extension slightly to centralise the stay which
clamps on to the sleeve nut and spindle. Take away the right side axle sleeve nut, then
the wheel spindle can be withdrawn and the wheel will then come away from the fork.
TO REMOVE REAR WHEEL
Remove the fully enclosed chain guard if fitted. Disconnect speedo drive cable; release
both wheel spindle nuts. With the rider standing on left side of the machine, lean the
machine to the left and take away the wheel. When refitting ensure speedo drive is
correctly located.
HUBS AND BEARINGS
Both hubs are greased when new and no further lubrication will be required for 5,000
miles, it is then advisable to renew the grease, the old grease should be removed by
washing in petrol or paraffin.
When dismantling and reassembling the hubs refer to illustration for assembly order.
If bearings show any signs of wear, fit replacements.
BRAKES
If the brakes are correctly adjusted and oil is not used to lubricate the bearings, the
brakes will not require attention for many thousands of miles. Petrol or paraffin should
not be used to wash brake shoes, these liquids have an adverse effect on the linings and
braking efficiency will be lost.
Front brake adjustment is effected by a cable adjuster on the left hand fork slider.
Rear brake adjustment is effected by a knurled nut at the rear end of the brake rod.
BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the position of the pedal, slacken the brake pedal spindle nut, move the pedal
to the desired position, hold the pedal in this position and tighten the spindle nut.
After altering the pedal position check the brake rod adjustment.
REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
With the rear wheel clear of the ground screw down the adjuster on the rear brake rod
until the brake is just binding. Then unscrew the adjuster four to five complete turns.
On machines with a frame number before 5858, the brake adjuster should be unscrewed
eight complete turns.
TYRES
To obtain maximum mileage from the tyres, maintenance should be regular and pains-
taking. Once a week check tyre pressures with a gauge and at the same time remove any
road grit which is wedged in the treads.
A comprehensive booklet produced by Messrs. Dunlops, on "How to keep your motor
cycle tyres fit", which includes instructions on tyre removal and refitting is Issued with
each new machine. A table of minimum inflation pressures for specified loads per tyre is
also included. As a rough guide, and with a rider of average weight and normal equip-
ment, without a pillion passenger, the pressures should be 18 Ibs. for the front tyre and
22 Ibs. for the rear tyre.
