LUBRICATION

SECTION

WHEEL
BEARING
LUBRICATION
The
wheel
bearings
are
packed with
grease
or,-
assembly,
but
require
re-packing with
the
correct
grade
of
grease
at
the
interval
stated
in
Section A1.
The
bearings
on both
the
front
wheel and
rear
wheel
should
be
removed,
cleaned
In
kerosene
(paraffin),
and
assembled
with
the
hubs well packed
with
the
correct
grade
of
grease. For details concerning
the
grade
of
grease
to
be used (which
Is
the
same
for
both
wheels),
see
Section
A2.
Removing and replacing
the
bearings for
the
front
and
rear
wheels
is
comprehensively
covered
In
Sections
F16
and F18.

TELESCOPIC
FORK
LUBRICATION
The
oil
contained
in
the
fork legs
not
only
lubricates
the
bearing
surfaces,
but
also acts
as
the
damping
medium. Because
of
the
latter
function, It
Is
essen-
tial
that
the
amount
of all
in
each fork leg
is
exactly
the
same
quantity
and
of
the
correct
viscosity.

leakage midway up
the
forks usually indicates
that
an oil seal has failed and
requires
replacement;
this
Is
dealt
with
In
Section G3.
Correct
period
for changing
the
oil
is
every
10,000
miles
(16,000
km.),
but
some
owners
may
not
cover
this
mileage in a year,
In
which
caSe
It
is
suggested
that
the
oil
be
changed every 12 months.
To
drain
the
oil, unscreW
the
fork cap
nuts
and
the
small
drain
plugs
In
the
lower
ends
of
the
fork
sliding
members.
Allow
the
oil
to
drain
out
then,
whilst
standing
astride
the
machine, apply
the
front
brake
and
depress
the
forks a few times,
to
drain any oil
remaining
in
the
system.
Replace
the
drain
plugs, and
pour
210
em'
of
oil
Into
each
fork
leg, (see Section
A2
for
recommended
grades
of
oil), and replace
the
cap nuts.

LUBRICATION
NIPPLES
The
speedometer
drive unit and
the
swinging
fork
pivot
bearings
are
greased
by
means
of
lubri-
cation nipples.
Care
should
be taken
that
the
surface of
the
nipple
Is
not
damaged. Slight
distortion
may be
removed
with a fine
grade
file.
SWINGING
FORK
PIVOT
The
greasing nipple (Fig.
A13)
Is
situated
centrally
underneath
the
swinging fork, and should be given
several
strokes
with a high
pressure
grease
gun
at
lntervels,
as
specified on page
AS,
until
grease
Is
forced
through
each end
of
the
pivot bearings.
If
the
grease
does
not
penetrate
then
the
pivot
mUst
be
removed
to
ensure
adequate
lubrication.
Removal
of
the
swinging fork
is
detailed
in
Section
E9.
When
the
fork
Is
removed
the
sleeves and
distance
tube
should be
withdrawn
and all
parts
should
be thoroughly cleaned
OUt
in
kel'osene
(paraffin) and allowed
to
drain.
A14
When
re-assembllng,
the
space
surrounding
the
distance
tube
should be carefully packed
with
the
correct
grade
of
grease, and
the
sleeves
should
be
well
greased
on
their
bearing surfaces.
