10.2 Shock absorber lower mounting
bolt (A). suspension linkage rod bolt (B)
7 To remove
the lower
bearing
from the
steering stem, use two screwdrivers placed on
opposite sides of the race to work it free. If the
bearing is finnly in place it will be necessary to
use a bearing puller. or in extreme circum-
stances to split the bearing's inner section.
8 Fit the new lower bearing onto the steering
stem. A length of tubing with an internal
diameter slightly larg«, than the steering stem
will be needed to tap the new bearing into
position. The drift must bear only on the inner
edge of the bearing and not 00 the rollers.
9 Install the steering stem (see Section 8).

Removal
1 Place the machine on its centre stand and
position a support under the rear wheel so that
it does not drop when the shock absorber is
removed, but also making sure that the weight
of the machine is off the rear suspension so
that the shock is not compressed.
2 Unscrew the nut and withdraw the bolt
securing the bottom of the shock absorber to
the suspension linkage arm (see illustration).
3 Unscrew the nut and withdraw the bolt
securing the suspension linkage rods to the
linkage arm, then swing the linkage arm down
to provide clearance for removal of the shock
absorber (see nlustratlon 10.2).
4 Access to the shock absorber upper
mounting bolt is best achieved via the hole in
the left-hand side of the frame. Remove the
blanking cap, then counter-hold the nut and
unscrew the bolt, using a socket extension
inserted through the hole (see nlustratlons).
Support the shock absorber and withdraw the
bolt, then manoeuvre the shock absorber out
through the bottom of the swingarm.
Inspection
5 Inspect the shock absorber for obvious
physical damage and the coli spring for
looseness, cracks or signs of fatigue.
S Inspect the damper rod for signs of
bending, pitting and oil leakage.
7 Inspect the pivot hardware at the top and
bottom of the shock for wear or damage.
10.48 Remove the cap from the hole
in the swingarm . . .
8 If the shock absorber is damaged or wom it
must be replaced. Individual replacement
components are not available.
Installation
9 Installation is the revwse of removal, noting
the following.
a) Apply multi-purpose Hthium gl8BS8 to the
pivot points 8nd to the bearings In the
linkage arm.
b) Install the upper mounting bolt first. but
do not tighten it until the /ower mounting
bolt and linkage rod bolt are /nst8l/ed.
