WORKSHOP MANUAL
___________________________________________________________________________
After disassembly of the front fork a mudguard, put back the fork plugs to avoid pouiring oil
out of fork. Remove the headlight and indicators and let them hang on cabling or attach them
to the frame in the suitable way. On releasing and screwing out the upper nut of the steering
column (key S-81), take off the upper bearer.
Using the opposite side of the key S-81 loosen the lower nut of the steering column. Hold the
lower bearer in upper position in order that the balls do not fall out from the bearings.
Remove the nuts and take out lower bearer carefully.
In case of an urgent replacement of the steering bearing shells, we use a longer bar to drive
them out. At first, push the bearing shell from the lower bearer by means of sharp chisel on
several spots and carefully take it out.
When reassembling, take care to have the bearing shells of the steering head filled with
prescribed grease and to check if both bearings have 18 balls of dia 1/4" (6,35 mm).
Notice: Reassembly is executed in opposite way, always observe these principles. First
retighten the lower nut of steernig column and than loosen it just enought in order that the
fork moves in bearing without play. Use S-81 for this job. Make sure about it and then secure
the upper nut.
