Chapter 1 Engine, clutch and gearbox

packing pieces behind it. The exhaust is secured by two nuts to

its mounting bracket, which is secured to the frame by a bolt

and by the swinging arm pivot bolt retaining nut. These should

be removed and the complete system withdrawn. The footrest

assembly should be removed after unscrewing the four bolts

which hold it to the underside of the crankcase.

7 Remove the gearchange pedal pinch bolt and slide the

pedal off its splines. Remove the left-hand outer cover, and

place it to one side to await reassembly. The gearbox sprocket

is retained by a locking plate which in turn is held in position by

two bolts. Remove the bolts, to allow the plate to be turned

slightly and drawn off the splined shaft.

8 Remove the left-hand side panel which is a push fit in the

frame lugs. It is also worth removing the right-hand panel to

avoid any risk of damage to the paint finish. Remove the screw

from the battery negative (—) terminal and release the two green

leads to isolate the battery from the electrical system. Separate

the white multiple connector block to disconnect the generator;

this will be found adjacent to the battery.

9 The engine is now held only by the five mounting bolts.

Remove the two front bolts and place them to one side. It is

worthwhile removing the entire engine plate to gain the

maximum amount of manoeuvring room. Remove the lower

rear mounting bolt, noting that the nut may be difficult to reach

if the exhaust mounting bracket has not been removed,

followed by the upper bolt which passes through a lug in the

cylinder head. Finally, release the remaining rear mounting bolt,

disengaging the generator harness from its clip. As the bolt is

withdrawn, the unit will drop free, and it is advisable to have an

5.4 Slacken off and remove the clutch cable

assistant to hand to help with these final stages. Note that

whilst not strictly necessary, it was found helpful to remove the

left-hand head steady plate to provide better clearance. The unit

is not heavy, and can easily be lifted clear of the frame by one

person.

5.3 Seat is retained by two bolts at rear

5.5a Remove the carburettor, heatshield and spacer (early

models)

5.5b Pull off the crankcase breather pipe
