The final drive is a cast housing containing a helical bevel gear set that turns the rear
wheel at a lower speed than the shaft. The casing also serves as a backing plate for the
brake shoes, an oil reservoir and a support for the right-hand end of the rear wheel axle.
The casing has an oil drain hole at the bottom that is blanked off with a plug. Cover (34)
attached to the casing has a slot and two studs used to fasten the whole drive to the
swinging fork arm of the rear suspension. A fill hole is provided in the cover.
Gear backlash is adjusted via adjusting washers (35) installed between the side portion
of casing cover and the inner race of ball bearing (36). For proper performance of the
drive a .004 in. / 0.1 to 0.3 mm backlash is necessary between the active faces of gears.
Maintenance of propeller shaft and final drive. The daily maintenance involves
tightening the nuts which fasten the final drive to the swinging fork arm. Failure to
tighten the nuts in due time results in loose joints and destruction of the final drive cover.
Every 5,000 km change oil in the final drive casing. Refilling requires 0.23 pints of
premium grade automotive EP gear oil, SAE 80 or 90.
Every 10,000 km, lubricate the needle bearings of the universal joint cross. Dismantle
the final drive and using a grease gun stuff grease into the cross through the grease
cup.
7.2 Removal and Installation of Final Drive
To remove the final drive together with the propeller shaft:
1. Set the motorcycle on the center stand and remove the rear wheel.
2. Slacken off the wing nut of the rear brake tie-rod and disconnect it.
3. Unfasten the nuts from the studs fastening the final drive to the swing arm.
4. Detach the final drive from the swinging fork arm and pull it straight back.
5. Remove the flexible joint flange off the propeller shaft to facilitate its passing through
the hole in the swinging fork girder.
To reinstall the final drive, reverse the sequence of operations.
7.3 Removing and Reinstalling Propeller Shaft
To disconnect the propeller shaft from the final drive proceed as follows:
1. Uncotter the nut of the wedge bolt, unscrew the nut and using a soft mandrel knock
the wedge bolt out.
2. Remove the splined fork of the shaft from the driving gear shank (by slightly knocking
with a soft hammer).
3. Having disconnected the propeller shaft, wash it and inspect, paying particular
attention to the universal joint. The bearings should rotate with no resistance or
excessive play. If necessary, dismantle the universal joint.
