Jon.  You should read the manuals, in the DOWNLOAD sections of this site, it all free!  it states 135cc of 30W Fork or Hydraulic oil from empty.

71 TMX, front forks seem to bottom out, is there a procedure to add or change the fork oil/fluid?

   Re ;- Screw tightening - Agreed, it is good engineering practice to tighten any multiple screw, spring loaded assembly in stages. This avoids warpage and/or overloading of the assembly. It also applies to cylinder heads and crankcase screws, although these are not spring loaded.
     No screw locking device is required because the clutch springs acts a locking device, similar to those found on the adjusters on the carbs. I have never known a clutch screw come loose.

Those screws are tightened all the way until the set plate is against the posts on the pressure plate sticking through from the back side. I didn't see a torque value anywhere, but just nice and snug is my guide. Remember, they're only 5mm. I usually screw them in a few turns at a time working around the pattern to keep from overloading any single one as they're pulled down. I'm not sure it that has any value or not.

Hi All,
Please can someone share the correct clutch setting, what is the correct position for the 6 off M5 x 12 screws (that hold the set plate down):-
1. how far should these be screwed in & where is the measured from?
2. what prevents the screws unwinding as its not practical (that I can see) to balance the pressure on the set plate across all 6 screws, (a tab washer would prevent unwinding but there's nothing shown, similarly thread lock would work but would impede dis-assembly)?

Thanks
Dave

General Discussion / Fresh '65 Homer Restoration
« Last post by Chibi62 on March 04, 2024, 05:52:19 PM »
After 2.5 years I have finally completed the full restoration on my 1965 Homer 50. I opted for a modern paint theme to include graphite strips. This gem purrs like a kitten.

Chrome - Atlas (Texas)
Tires - Michelin 235 (I over sized both and used Michelin over Bridgestone. Much nicer tire). I know it's almost sacrilegious ..
Paint - 2 stage Dodge Marine Blue (Base/clear/cut/buff)
Spokes - Buchanan

Thanks to several members on this site for providing me a few hard to locate parts.
Onto another bike.
Kevin
