If the fork action is stiff, slacken the axle
nut and the fork end clamping nut and move the
forks up and down to allow the fork tubes to take
up alignment on the axle. Re-tighten the nuts. If
stiffness still remains, release fender stay bolts
and move forks up and down, finally retightening
the stay bolts.

No adjustment to the brake operating mechanism
is required. Apply the brake several times to
refill the caliper and restore brake pressure.

DISMANTLING FRONT HUB, DISC TYPE
|
|
|
|
To gain access to the front wheel axle and
bearings, remove the wheel as described in Section
H6. It is not necessary to remove the brake disc.
Proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
1
|
Unscrew the bearing locking ring (left hand
thread) from the left side of the hub using peg
spanner 063965 or, if not available, a pin punch
and hammer. If the ring is an extremely tight fit,
try tapping from different holes and heat the hub
with a gentle flame.
|
|
|
|
2
|
Lift away the seal and spacer.
|
|
3
|
Heat the alloy wheel hub with hot water only to
a temperature of 100°C.
|
|
*4
|
Insert a bar into the bearing spacer tube and
force the spacer over fractionally. This will
provide just sufficient room to allow a drift to
abut on the inner race of the bearing to be
removed.
|
|
5
|
Using a suitable drift to the bearing inner race
start to drive the single row bearing out. Force
the spacer tube over to the other side of the hub
and tap on the inner race at the new point.
Continue this operation until the bearing is driven
out.
|
|
|
|
*At a later stage an expanding drift will become
available which can be placed into the bearing
inner race and expanded by the centre bolt to grip
the inner race. The tool and bearing together can
then be driven out together from the other side of
the hub.
|
|
|
|
6
|
Lift out the bearing spacer tube. If this has
been damaged and cannot be corrected, a new spacer
should be obtained for reassembly.
|
|
7
|
Using a suitable sized drift through the hub
towards the remaining bearing, drive the double row
bearing out of the hub, taking with it the washers
and felt scal.
|
|
|
|
Reassembly of the disc brake front hub is a
similar procedure to that detailed fully for the
drum brake wheel (Section H6).

|
REMOVING AND REFITTING FRONT WHEEL
|
|
(Drum Type Brake)
|
|
|
|
To remove the front wheel, support the
motorcycle securely on the centre stand so that the
front wheel is clear of the ground.
|
|
|
|
1
|
Disconnect the front brake cable at the brake
cam lever by taking out the clevis pin after
removal of the spring clip.
|
|
2
|
Unscrew the brake cable adjuster.
