Motorcycling is one of the most economical and pleasurable modes of
transport, It is our sincere wish that every " A J S " owner
should obtain, from his mount, the service, comfort and innumerable miles
of low-cost Travel that we have earnestly endeavoured to build into it.
However, it must be remembered that, although a motor cycle is of simple
design and construction, it is, nevertheless, a highly specialised piece of
engineering. In consequence, it must be intelligently and efficiently
maintained in order to provide unfailing reliability.
In this book are non-technical instructions for carrying out all the mainten-
ance operations likely to be called for in strenuous service and Illustrations
are provided to assist. Neglect to make essential adjustments, only casual
attention to lubrication and the lack of periodical maintenance attention
will soon neutralise the best efforts of the designers and may bring needless
trouble to the owner.
We are always pleased to give " A J S " owners the full benefit
of our wide experience in matters relating to motor cycles of our manu-
facture and elsewhere will be found details of the particulars that should
be given us when making such an enquiry.
