MAINTENANCE
SADDLE  ADJUSTMENT
Saddle adjustment  is  provided  at  both  front and rear ends.  Importance  is attached  to
the  desirability  of  owners  selecting  the  adjustment most  to  their liking.  At  the  front
end, the adjustment consists of three evenly spaced  positions for the hinge bolt, accessible
only  upon  removal of  the  petrol tank.  At  the  rear end, adjustment is obtained  by
altering  the  position  of the lower spring fixing nuts  upon  the  screwed studs  to which
the springs are attached.
PERIODICAL  MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance, attention to lubrication, and  certain adjustments must be  made to
ensure unfailing  reliability  and  satisfactory service.  This  necessary attention  is detailed
below,  and  owners  are strongly  recommended  to follow  carefully these  suggestions,
and to make a regular practice of doing so from the first.
The  reference  numbers,  in brackets,  refer to the  locations  specified  on  the  Lubrication
