Chapter 9 (Control Levers and Cables)
Control Cable Adjustment
The control cables are adjusted by screw adjustments at the cable
ends.
With the control levers released:
for the clutch a play at the clutch lever end should be equal to 5 - 8
mm/0.2 - 0.3 in
for the brakes - a 0.3 - 0.7 mm/0.012 - 0.028 in. gap between the
brake shoes and the brake drums, for this purpose a 5 - 8 mm/0.2
- 0.3 in. play of the front brake control lever and a play of the rear
brake pedal equal to about 25 - 30 mm/1- 1.2 in. of the full stroke
of the pedal are required
for the carburetors - carburetor throttle synchronized
With the control levers (handles) fully depressed:
for the clutch — complete disengagement of the engine from the
transmission; noiseless shifting of gears means good adjustment
of the clutch cable.
for the carburetors — lift of throttles to the maximum and equal
height
for the brakes — effective braking of the motorcycle before levers
reach limits.
The brakes are checked when the fully laden motorcycle is
running on dry asphalt or concrete pavement. This check is done
at a slow speed.
