DUALSEAT
Should it be found necessary to remove the dualseat,
first loosen the damper top fixing bolts sufficient to
allow the ends of the seat bracket to be released. Raise
the seat at the rear and withdraw rearwards to
disengage the front clip from the frame tie bar. The
bracket is held to the base of the seat by two nuts with
washers.
Replace in the reverse manner but ensure that the
damper top fixing bolts are tightened firmly.
Some Bushman Pastoral models are fitted with a
single seat, being held to the sub-frame at the rear by
two clips.
SIDECOVERS
The left-hand sidecover is held in place by two
"Oddie" studs which only require a half-turn to
release.
The sidecover can now be removed to reveal the
tool roll (Bushman) or to give access to the battery
(Supreme). To remove the battery, lift the tag on top
of the battery carrier and lift the battery out.
To remove the left-hand back plate on the Supreme,
unscrew the two large nuts at the front of the plate.
Now remove the single small nut and bolt from the
top right-hand corner of the plate, also slacken the bolt
behind the mudguard, and remove back plate.
Access will now be gained to the coil and rectifier,
both being dealt with in the Electrical section. The coil
retaining clip is fixed to the top of the rear mudguard
by two nuts and bolts.
A single nut secures the rectifier to its bracket. Care
must be taken when tightening this nut, and the bolt
head should be held firmly with a second spanner to
prevent it from turning. If this precaution is not taken,
the rectifier plates may twist and break the internal
connections.
FRAME AND FITTINGS
To remove the right-hand sidecover and back plate
on the Supreme models, first unscrew the two chrome-
headed screws in the cover, these have a circlip fitted
on them behind the cover to prevent them from falling
out. When the cover is removed, unclip the rubber
band from around the air cleaner element and remove.
Behind the element is one of the fixing bolts.
Remove the two nuts from the left-hand side back
plate and withdraw the bolts from the right-hand side
releasing battery carrier and horn. There are four
spacers fitted between the back plates and the frame
brackets, the two on the left-hand side being shorter.
Now slacken off the bolt behind the mudguard and
remove the small nut and bolt from the top left-hand
corner.
Slacken the clip securing the air cleaner hose on to
the carburetter intake, and remove back plate complete
with hose.
Replacement of all sidecover components is the
reverse of removal.
Bushman Pastoral models
Since these models are not fitted with a battery,
battery carrier or horn, the sidecovers are of a much
simpler design. The toolbox cover on the left-hand
side is retained by two "Oddie" studs. These studs
need only half a turn to release and on removal of the
cover it will be seen that a large spring clip holds the
toolbag in place. Two large bolts with spacers secure
the triangular plate to the frame lugs, and the tag at the
base is held by one of the mudguard fixing bolts. The
plate and the air cleaner cover on the right-hand side
are held together by two tie brackets, the smaller one
being at the front.
To remove the air cleaner cover therefore, it will
only be necessary to release the tie brackets (two small
nuts and bolts) and to slacken the mudguard bolt that
holds the lower tag.
