ROYAL ENFIELD WORKSHOP MANUAL
When replacing the tyre fit the part by the
valve last, also with the edge of the cover at the
other side of the wheel pushed down into the
well.
If the correct method of fitting and removal of
the tyre is adopted it will be found that the
covers can be manipulated quite easily with the
small levers supplied in the toolkit. The use of
long levers and/or excessive force is liable to
damage the walls of the tyre. After inflation
make sure that the tyre is fitting evenly all the
way round the rim. A line moulded on the wall
of the tyre indicates whether or not the tyre is
correctly fitted. If the tyre has a white mark,
indicating a balance point, this should be fitted
near the valve.

Tyre Pressure
The recommended pressure for the front tyre
is 18lb. per square inch for wheel loads up to
240lb.
17. Lubrication
No grease nipple is provided on later hubs.
due to the tendency to over-grease, resulting in
grease finding its way past the felt seal; on to the
brake linings.
The correct method of lubrication is to pack
the bearings with grease after dismantling the
hub, as described above.
Note that the brake cams are drilled for
grease passages but the ends of these are
stopped up with countersunk screws instead of
being fitted with grease nipples. This is done to
prevent excessive greasing by over-enthusiastic
owners. If the cams are smeared with grease on
assembly they should require no further
attention but in case of necessity it is possible to
remove the screws, fit grease nipples in their
place and grease the cams by this means.
