8. Steering Head Races
The steering head races are the same at the top and bottom of the head lug. They are easily removed
by knocking them out with a hammer and drift and new races can be fitted either by a press or by
means of a hammer and wooden drift. The steering head bearing consists of two deep groove thrust
races each containing nineteen ¼" diameter balls. The bearing is adjusted by tightening the steering
stem locknut after loosening the ball head clip screw and both the fork crown clamp bolts. The head
should be adjusted so that, when the front wheel is lifted clear of the ground, a light tap on the
handlebar will cause the steering to swing to full lock in either direction, while at the same time there
should be only the slight trace of play in the bearings.
The play can be felt by keeping a finger across the head races just below the ball head on the top
ball race. Do not forget to tighten the ball head clip screw and fork crown clamp bolts. Before
tightening the latter make sure that the cover tubes are located centrally round the main tubes so that
the bottom tube does not rub inside the cover tube. A pair of split bushes, as shown in figure is useful
to ensure centralisation of the cover tubes.
ADJUSTMENT OF HEAD BALL-RACE
SEQUENCE FOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the Head lamp casing clip bolt by using
an Allen key (Size - 5mm)
2. Loosen the front fork crown clip bolts (2 Nos.)
3. Then screw down the steering stem lock nut by ½
to ¾ thread initially and check the play once again. If
necessary further tightening can be done.
Note:
Over tightening of this steering stem lock nut
will result in vehicle drag.
9. Lubrication-Steering Head
The steering head races and stand pivot bearing
should be well greased on assembly. No nipples are
provided for the steering head as experience has shown
that the provision of nipples at this point causes trouble
through chafing and cutting of control and lighting
cables. If the steering head bearings are well packed
with grease initially they will last for several years or
many thousands of kilometres.
