Monolever suspension
(Speedfight models)
Disassembly
1
Remove the front wheel, hub, caliper
bracket and axle (see Chapter
a),
and the
mudguard (see Chapter 7). On Speedfight 2
Furious models, ensure the lower end of the
speedometer cable is detached from the front
suspension (see Chapter 9).
2 Counterhold the captive nut on the back of
the mudguard bracket and undo the bolt
securing the lower end of the shock absorber
to the monolever arm. Remove the bracket,
then support the arm and withdraw the bolt
(see illustration).
3 Counterhold the bolt and undo the nut
securing the upper end of the shock
absorber (see illustration). Remove the nut
and washer, then displace the bolt to free
the shock. Discard the nut as a new one
must be fitted on reassembly. Note: The bolt
is supported at either end by a shouldered
spacer. I f required, remove the left-hand
spacer for safe-keeping. The bolt and right-
hand spacer can only be removed i f the
steering stem and suspension leg are

suspension leg.
5 On early models the monolever arm pivot
bolt pivots on rubber bushes in the bottom of
the suspension leg, on later models the bolt
pivots on a pair of bearings. Before
separating the arm from the suspension leg,
check the condition of the bushes or
bearings by moving the arm laterally against
the suspension leg. If any play is felt between
the arm and the leg, the bushes or bearings
must be renewed. Also move the arm up and
down. If any roughness is felt or the arm
does not move smoothly and freely, the
bushes, bearings or pivot bolt must be
renewed. If there is no play or roughness in
the monolever arm movement there is no
