23 Swinging arm: check, removal and refitting

CG125(BR)-K model

Check
1 With the machine on its centre stand, grasp both swinging
arm ends and attempt to move them from side to side. If a
significant amount of side play exists the bearings should be
renewed.
Removal and refitting
2 Remove the rear wheel and chainguard as described in
Chapter 5 (having referred first to Section 26 of this Chapter) and
disconnect the chain. The torque arm should be disconnected
from the swinging arm.
3 Detach the rear suspension units from their bottom mountings
and lower the swinging arm to the ground.
4 Remove the nut and washer from the end of the swinging
arm pivot' snart' and' pull'the sliatt out ot'the swinging arm and'
frame mountings. The swinging arm is now free.
5 Pull the caps off the swinging arm pivot bosses and slide out
the bearing sleeves. If the headed bushes are in need of renewal,
the old ones are best withdrawn using a slide-hammer with an
internally expanding adaptor. If using a drift to remove the old
bushes, move it around the inner face to ensure that the bush
leaves the housing squarely.
6 Clean the housing thoroughly before installing the new
bushes. Each bush should be installed with care to prevent
damage to its head - the use of a drawbolt and suitably-sized
plain washers is advised to ensure that the bushes enter their
housing squarely.
7 Grease each bearing sleeve and insert them into the bushes.
Apply grease to the inner face or the caps and fit them to each
side of the housings. Grease the pivot shaft, then offer up the
swinging arm and insert the pivot shaft fully. Install the plain
washer and nut on its opposite end and tighten the nut to the
specified torque setting. Check that the swinging arm is able to
move freely and that there is no discernible side play in the pivot.
8 Refit all disturbed components in a reverse of the removal
procedure.

24 Side panels, seat and tail fairing: removal and refitting

Side panels
1 On all models except the CG125(BR)-K, the side panels are
secured by a simple lock at their lower front mounting points.
To release the lock, insert the ignition key into the lock and rotate
it until it unlocks. Reverse the procedure on refitting.
2 On the CG125(BR)-K model, the side panels are secured by
a screw at the lower mounting point. Remove the screw and pull
the panel stubs out of their mounting grommets to release.
Chapter 7 The 1985 on models
24.5a Remove grab rail (four bolts), then
two rear bolts (arrows) ...
Seat
3 The seat is removable to allow easy access to the toolbox,
and on BR-K models to the small storage box in the tail fairing.
It is secured by two latches, one on each side at the seat's rear
end, just behind the suspension unit top mountings. Press each
latch to the rear to release, and where applicable, unlock the
helmet lock to release the wire clip.
4 On refitting, hook the seat front mounting under its locating
bracket and press the seat down at the rear so that its two latches
snap into engagement. Where fitted, slip the wire clip into the
helmet lock to provide a measure of security.
Tail fairing - CG125(BR)-K only
5 Remove the seat as described above, then release the grab
rail by removing its four mounting bolts. Remove the six tail
fairing mounting bolts and manoeuvre it free of the frame.
6 Reverse the removal procedure to refit the tail fairing, noting
that a plain washer, damping rubber and spacer must be fitted

25 Speedometer: removal and refitting

1 The speedometer is mounted in a panel with the ignition
switch and warning lamp cluster. To remove the complete
assembly remove the headlamp rim and reflector unit, then
trace and disconnect the wiring from the panel. Disconnect the
speedometer drive cable.
2 Unscrew the two bolts which secure the panel to the top
yoke, withdraw the panel and unplug the bulb holders.
3 Invert the assembly and withdraw the bolts which retain
the mounting bracket, noting the arrangement of washers and
damper rubbers.
4 Remove all the small screws which secure the panel top
and bottom covers and the warning lamp cluster housing. The
speedometer head is secured by two screws. When all screws
have been released the various components can be separated.
5 Reassembly is the reverse of the dismantling procedure.

26 Wheels: general

1 In spite of its different appearance the front wheel is the
same in layout as those of the earlier models described in
Chapter 5. Detail changes are shown in the accompanying
illustration. The rear wheel differs only in rim size. Servicing
procedures, therefore, remain the same.
2 When removing and refitting wheels, note that some later
models are fitted with self-locking spindle nuts instead of
having castellated nuts and split pins. Ensure that the
appropriate torque wrench setting is used on refitting, see
Specifications.
