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 const ruction, it is, nevertheless, a highly specialised piece of

engineering. In consequence, it must be intellige ntly and effic iently

maintained in order to provide unfailing reliability .

In this book are non-technical instructions for carrying out all the mainten-

ance oper ations likely to be called for in strenuous service and illustrations

are provided to assist. Neglect to make essential adjustments, only casual

attention to l ubrication 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 benef it

of our wide experience in matters relating to motor cycles of our manu-

facture and elsewhere will be f o und details of the p articulars that should

be given us w hen making such an enquiry .
