adjust if necessary. Install the rubber boot.
Steering Bar Centering Adjustment (Early Model Avengers With Handle Bar
Centering Springs Only)
In some circumstances it may be necessary to adjust the way in which the steering handle
bar returns parallel to the dash in the centred position
1. Ensure that the steering handle bar rests parallel to the dash in the non-braking posi-
tion when released from a right or left turn position. Photo BR-5
If the steering handle bar does not centre parallel to the dash when released, it may be
necessary to adjust this. This may be achieved by manually bending the end of the return
springs where they are inserted into the welded retaining bracket on the steering column
frame assembly. Depending on the direction of the bend it will either increase the tension
or reduce it when the spring end is inserted back into the bracket. Photo BR- 6 & 7
Before making the spring adjustment, thread the plunger pins together to make sure that
they are not coming into contact with the steering arms and will in no way affect the way
in which the steering handle bar returns to the centred position.
