Although the book is comprehensive in its instruction regarding major overhaul:.
we strongly advise the uninitiated to entrust such work as the repair of engines,
spring wheel, telescopic forks and-gearboxes, to a recognised Triumph Dealer who
will have the necessary facil~ties and special workshop toGls available. Remember
I
that the purchase of special tools can be very expensive when only required for
1
limited use.
A
supplement
is
included
at
the back of this Workshop Manual and should always be
referred to before any operations are carried out on the machine.

procedure. To avoid confusing the operator during this procedure, the sub-
assemblies (i.e. Cylinder Head or Crankshaft Assembly) are dealt with
as
separate
units under the heading "Dismantling. Preparation and Assembly of Units".
The book
is
well illustrated with exploded and assembled illustrations of the main
units, which will give the operator a comprehensive view of rhe internal parts before
commencing an operation and will also
assist
during assembly.
Finally, remember that if the essential adiustments are neglected and only casual
attention
is
paid to the lubrication and periodical maintenance, reliability will be
affected and in time the servicing costs will be very high.
