    296 pages and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is possibly the most comprehensive publication ever produced for the 1962 through 1970 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor.A compilation of five factory publications, it includes the original MK1 or Series I workshop manual for the 1962 to 1966 models and the later workshop manual for the 1968 to 1970 MK2 or Series II. In addition, it also includes the three illustrated factory 'Spare & Replacement Parts' manuals: The difficult to find 1962-66 MK1, the 1967-68 MK1A and the 1969-70 MK2 models which also includes the often missing 1970 Supplement. While Royal Enfield never issued a workshop manual that was specific to the MK1A model, the later MK2 manual, when used in conjunction with the MK1A parts manual, it will provide adequate maintenance and repair information. This manual covers the following models: 750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual covers both the early and late MK1 models and both the UK and the USA variants.750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1A (Parts Manual)750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK2 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual also includes data that is specific to the 1962 to 1968 models.PRODUCTION DETAILS: The 750cc UK Interceptor MK1 (or Series I) model was produced from September 1962 through December 1965. The 1964 line-up was expanded to include a 'Standard' 6 volt model (September '63 to August '64) plus a 'De-Luxe' model with 12 volt electrics. Then in January 1966, Interceptor production was temporarily suspended for the UK market until September 1967. However, when UK production resumed, the 750cc Interceptor MK1A (now fitted with coil ignition and Amal Concentric carburetors) was released (October '67 to September '68). The final variant, the MK2 (or Series II) was produced from October 1968 to July 1970. However, as both the 1969-70 'Clymer Indian' Enfield and the 1970-72 'Rickman Enfield' utilized the MK2 engine, this manual will also be of use to owners of those rare models. Due to a number of different reasons, there is a great deal of confusion surrounding production details and the various differences between the UK and USA Interceptor models. Firstly, it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Adding to this confusion is that during the 1966-1967 factory shut-down of UK Interceptor production, various models were still being built for export to the USA. Then, beginning in March 1967, the company went through a number of significant changes in manufacturing location, management, ownership rights and mergers. However, it is known that in 1964, the USA Interceptor became the TT model. The 'Custom' model was added in 1965 and the GT in 1966. Consequently, it is very likely that the Interceptor models produced for the USA during the 1966-1967 UK market shut-down included the 'Custom' and the TT and GT variants. There were two MK1A models produced for the USA market, the TT7 (Scrambler) and the GP7 (Road Racer). The final UK/USA model, the MK2, was introduced for 1968 and remained in production through mid-1970. The cover image is a 1970 MK2 and the previous optional air cleaner, oil cooler, skid plate and seat rail were all fitted as standard equipment, however, the larger fuel tank was still an option. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the UK and the USA models, the reader is encouraged to review all three parts manuals and both workshop manuals prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. It should be noted that the MK2 workshop manual contains information that is also specific to the earlier models, including the MK1.

    238 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. At the time of Floyd Clymer's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication; this Honda CB750 is one of those manuals. When the original manual was compiled in either late 1969, or early 1970, it was only applicable to the first series of 1969/70 S.O.H.C. CB750 (Sandcast) and CB750K0 models and minor changes to these early models are noted in the text. However, detailed information on these changes (and subsequent changes) have been updated, by the addition of supplements, that cover the 1971 to 1978 CB750K (K1 K8) series plus the 1975 to 1978 CB750F (F0 F3) models. There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 10-year production run of these models and, in order to provide information applicable to those changes, the appropriate supplements are appended to the rear section of this manual. Prior to commencing any work the reader is encouraged to review those supplements with regard to applicable engine number notations as whenever engine numbers are stated, all specifications, maintenance and repair instructions will be specific to that particular series.Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB750K'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries that same model would be identified as a CB750K6. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the 1969 through 1978 S.O.H.C. CB750K and CB750F models. The CB750 was a true 'superbike' but it was also readily available and reasonably priced. After its initial launch in 1969, the CB750 remained in production (virtually unchanged) through 1978. With a 10-year production run of approximately 450,000 units, no one could have anticipated that it was destined to become a collector's item. Consequently, we are pleased to offer this updated and expanded version of the original Floyd Clymer manual as a service to all 750cc S.O.H.C. Honda owners, enthusiasts and restorers worldwide.Finally, please note that the text in the original manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies and errors that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

    260 pages and more than 290 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0843/0948/0950.The original workshop manual part number 99-0843 was subsequently updated and merged with workshop manual 99-0948. This merged 'double' manual also included a supplement, part number 99-0950 which extended the coverage up to the 1974 models. The supplement was appended to the 'double' manual such that 'Section A - Lubrication System' is followed by a 'Section AA - Lubrication System' supplement and 'Section B - Engine' is followed by a 'Section BB - Engine' supplement, etc., etc. This combination of 99-0843/0948/0950 was published as a single workshop manual applicable to the entire range of 350cc and 500cc unit construction twins from 1963 through 1974. This reprint is a faithful reproduction of that 'combination' manual.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 11-year production run of these models and the way the factory identifies the point where those changes took place is by referencing engine numbers within each individual section of this manual. To assist in identifying the appropriate information applicable to those changes, the supplements were appended to the end of each appropriate section. Consequently, it is important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that wherever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read the entire section plus the supplemental section prior to commencing any work, paying close attention to any engine number notations.Owners of the 350cc and 500cc machines are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 350cc and 500cc manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Based on our research, at least six manuals were issued for different series of engine numbers throughout the 11-year production run. However, the 99-0843/0948/0950 'combination' manual is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of 350cc and 500cc unit construction twins produced from 1963 to 1974. It covers all engine numbers from H29733 through H67331 plus the later 1969 through 1974 alpha numeric series engine numbers, unfortunately, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made towards the end of the production run necessitate the use of the supplement and we are pleased to offer this reprint of the 'combination' manual as a service to all Triumph 350cc and 500cc unit construction owners. The 1963 to 1974 models covered are: Tiger 100: T100SS Tiger (1963-1965), T100 Tiger (1966), T100S Tiger (1967-1970), T100T & T100R Daytona (1966-1974), T100C Trophy (1966-1972)Speed Twin: 5TA (1963-1966)Tiger 90: T90 (1963-1969)Twenty One: 3TA (1963-1966)

    240 pages and more than 250 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0883/0889.The original 1963 through 1968 workshop manual, part number 99-0883, was subsequently updated with the addition of a 1969 through 1970 manual, part number 99-0889. Ultimately, both manuals were merged by the factory into a single combined manual, part number 99-0883/0889. This combination resulted in a comprehensive workshop manual for the entire line of UK and USA 650cc unit construction twins produced from 1963 through 1970.However, as this publication is a combination of two separate workshop manuals, some of the pages are duplicated. Fortunately, they occur sequentially and, while one will be for the earlier models, the other will apply to the later models and the reader is encouraged to exercise care in selecting the appropriate page from those duplications. Please understand that this is how the factory dealt with the minor differences within this manual. Unfortunately, the distinction between earlier and later models is not very well defined. For example, depending upon the model, the change from 6 to 12 volt electrics was spread over a 3-year period (1964-66). However, a fairly significant change occurred in 1968 with the introduction of Amal Concentric carburetors and a twin leading shoe front brake. Therefore, 1968 is often incorrectly regarded as a demarcation point between early and late models but, unfortunately, it is not totally accurate.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 8-year production run of these models and the way the factory identifies the point where those changes took place is by referencing engine numbers within each individual section of this manual. Consequently, it is important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that wherever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read the entire section prior to commencing any work, paying close attention to the engine number sub-sections.Owners of the 650cc machines are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 650cc manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. However, the combination manual 99-0883/0889 is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of UK and USA 650cc Unit Construction twins produced from 1963 through 1970 and covers all DU101 through DU90282 plus the later 1969 through 1970 alpha numeric series engines, however, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made during the production run would necessitate the use of both the individual manuals. However, those changes are combined in their entirety in the 99-0883/0889 manual and we are pleased to offer this reprint as a service to all 650cc Unit Construction owners. The years and models covered are: Thunderbird: 6T 1963-1966Trophy: TR6 1963-1970 / TR6R1966-1970 / TR6C 1966-1967Bonneville: T120 1963-1970 / T120R 1963-1970 / T120C 1963-1965 / Thruxton 1965 / TT 1964-1967

    257 pages and more than 500 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This workshop manual is a compilation of 12 original Honda publications. It includes a reproduction of the original 100cc-125cc factory workshop manual plus the 11 factory supplements that extend the coverage of that original manual through 1984. The original 'base' manual for this series of motorcycles was first published in 1970 in softbound format. In 1971 it was changed to a ring-bound publication, as this better suited the addition of supplements for model updates without the need for printing an entirely new manual. The 1970 softbound manual covered the CB100, CL100 and SL100 and in 1971 that softbound publication was updated and reprinted to include the CB125S, CD125S and the SL125. A little later, but still in 1971, the first ring-bound version was issued which now included a supplement for the TL125. However, by the end of 1976 all of those models, with the exception of the CB125, had been discontinued, but the base ring-bound manual continued to be updated through 1984 for the CB125 models. For some inexplicable reason, even though 1985 was the final year for the CB125, instead of publishing yet another update, Honda issued a singular manual specific to the 1985 model only. This 257 page manual covers the 1970 to 1984 single cylinder street, scrambler, motosport and trials models. The primary focus is the maintenance and repair of the major mechanical and electrical components including: Engine, Transmission, Clutch, Fuel, Electrical, Frame, Suspension and Steering, models covered are: 100cc Street-CB100100cc Scrambler-CL100 100cc Motosport-SL100 125cc Street-CB125-CB125S-CB125J-CD125S125cc Motosport-SL125125cc Trials-TL125 Many of the earlier Honda motorcycle models were often introduced at different times in different countries using different model names or designations. For example the CB125 was first introduced in 1971 but was not available in the USA (as the CB125S) until 1973. These varying release dates and differing model designations often lead to difficulty in selecting the correct workshop manual. Worse yet, owners of this series of 100cc and 125cc singles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of OEM publications that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. Honda published 11 different supplements and addendums to the original ring-bound base manual and many of these are listed as workshop manuals by individuals that deliberately intend to deceive or really have no idea what they are selling. In addition, many of the so-called workshop manual reprints are incomplete. Consequently, should you decide to purchase your manual elsewhere, you are advised to confirm that it includes all 257 pages of the original factory manual. Owners of the 1959-1966 twin cylinder 125-150cc 'Benly' C92 & C95 series are directed to our Honda factory workshop manual ISBN 9781588500823, owners of the 1964-1980 twin cylinder 125-150cc models will require our workshop manual ISBN 9781588502643. Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies and errors that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

    106 pages, and more than 75 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the 'How to ride the BSA Dandy' instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a compilation of specific 'dealer only' service sheets. It should be noted that BSA never published a workshop manual for the Dandy, however, the combination of these three factory publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: SERVICE SHEETS: In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public they were 'dealer only' publications. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the early 1960's.INSTRUCTION MANUAL: BSA published an 'Instruction Manual' titled, 'How to ride the BSA Dandy'. This publication was somewhat more detailed than most typical 'owner's manuals' as it included basic overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. However, when used in conjunction with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual.PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manual includes exploded component diagrams which are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process.MEET THE PUBLISHERVelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.With more than 250 titles in print VelocePress is one of the fastest growing specialty automobile and motorcycle publishing companies in the USA.

    116 pages, with more than 360 illustrations and diagrams, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. At the time of Floyd Clymer's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication. This 'Honda 125cc - 200cc' is one of those completed but previously unpublished compilations of various Honda Factory Manuals for the 125cc, 160cc, 175cc and 200cc center cam drive twins. While this manual was likely completed in early 1970 it actually covers the 1964 through 1978 street, scrambler and motosport models. The primary focus is the maintenance and repair of the major mechanical and electrical components including: Engine, Transmission, Clutch, Fuel, Electrical, Frame, Suspension and Steering.Owners of the earlier 125-150cc C92 & C95 twin cylinder 'Benly' series (1959-1966) are directed to our Honda factory workshop manual ISBN 9781588500823 which is exclusive to those models.After his visit to Japan in 1961, Floyd Clymer published 'The Complete Catalog of Japanese Motor Vehicles' (ISBN 9781588502209). Based on his experiences during that visit, Floyd also anticipated the need for repair manuals for those Japanese motorcycles that were just starting to be imported into the USA [Yamaha (1958), Honda (1959), Suzuki (1963)]. The predominance of the Floyd Clymer Japanese motorcycle manuals were reprints or compilations of the factory publications, which today makes them more desirable than the current aftermarket manuals.

    142 pages, with more than 250 illustrations, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. At the time of Floyd Clymer's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication. This 'Honda 50cc - 90cc' is one of those completed but previously unpublished compilations of various Honda Factory Manuals for the OHC Honda single cylinder 50cc, 65cc, 70cc and 90cc models.This series of OHC engines was introduced in 1959 with the release of the C100 'Super Cub' and remained in production through the 1983 C70 'Passport' model. This manual covers the step-through models(mopeds), motorcycles(street, trail & off-road) and mini-trial(monkey bikes). The primary focus is the maintenance and repair of the major mechanical and electrical components including: Engine, Transmission, Clutch, Fuel, Electrical, Frame, Suspension and Steering, models covered are: 50cc Motorcycles: S5050cc Step-Through/Mopeds: C50-C50M-CT5050cc Mini-Bikes/Monkey Bikes: ST50-Z50A65cc Motorcycles: S6565cc Step-Through/Mopeds: C65-C65M70cc Motorcycles: CL70-SL7070cc Step-Through/Mopeds: C70-C70M 70cc Mini-Bikes/Monkey Bikes: CT70-ST7090cc Motorcycles: CD90-CL90-S90-SL90 90cc Step-Through/Mopeds: C90-CT9090cc Mini-Bikes/Monkey Bikes: ST90In addition, based on information published in the 1988 American Honda Motor Co., official 'Motorcycle Identification Guide', this manual will be of interest to owners of the single cylinder OHC models listed below. Please note that this list obviously focuses on models that were marketed in the USA. However, many of these vehicles were sold in the Japanese and European market under different model names and owners of these vehicles should also find this manual to be of use. Unfortunately, due to the multitude of various models that utilized these same power-trains, individual model construction details may not be included in this manual.50cc Motorcycles: C110*50cc Step-Through/Mopeds: C100*-P50-PC5050cc Mini-Bikes/Monkey Bikes: Z50R70cc Motorcycles: XL7070cc Mini-Bikes/Monkey Bikes: CT70H70cc ATV's: ATC70-TRX7075cc Motorcycles: XL75-XR7580cc Motorcycles: XL80S-XR8090cc Motorcycles: CL90L90cc Step Through/Mopeds: CM9190cc ATV's: ATC90*Owners of the C110 'Sport Cub' & C100 'Super Cub' series are directed to our Honda factory workshop manuals ISBN 9781588500854 & ISBN 9781588500861, these two manuals are exclusive to those models and as such, significantly more detailed.After his visit to Japan in 1961, Floyd Clymer published 'The Complete Catalog of Japanese Motor Vehicles' (ISBN 9781588502209).

    162 pages and more than 450 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the original Honda factory Workshop manual. This group of twin cylinder Honda motorcycles began with the introduction of the 1959 to 1967 four speed 250cc CB72 and 305cc CB77 series. A workshop manual for these earlier models can be found under ISBN 9781588500731. The models covered in this manual are the twin cylinder 1968 to 1973 five speed CB250 (K0 K5) CL250 (K0 K2) and the CB350 (K0 K4), CL350 (K0 K5) and SL350 (K0 K2). Also included are the front disc brake CB250G and CB350G models. Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example a CT70'76 would be a 1976 model. Therefore, while the use of the letter 'K' suffix has become accepted practice to identify the progression of a particular model by year of production it can, at times, be misleading. For example, Honda occasionally identifies the 1968 models in the CB250/350 series as the CB250 & CB350 without the use of the 'K0' suffix and sometimes 'bypasses' the use of K1 for the 1969 models and jumps to K2 for the 1970 models. Setting this potential for confusion aside and reverting to what has become generally accepted usage of the 'K' suffix, we can state that this manual covers the five speed K0, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and disc brake models of the CB250 & CB350 and their variants from 1968 through 1973. Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However, the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies and errors that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

    186 pages, and more than 150 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three original factory publications. The first is a reproduction of the 108 page 'Workshop Instruction Manual' for the 1957-64 Lightweight and Heavyweight singles and the twin cylinder models. The second is a reproduction of the 12 page 'Supplementary Instruction Book for Competition Models'. The third is a 60 page 'Instruction Book' combination that is exclusive to the 1958-1966 G2, G5, 14 and 8 Lightweight 250cc and 350cc singles. While the reprint of the original 108 page AMC workshop manual states that it is appropriate for the 1957-1964 models, it actually covers the entire line of AJS and Matchless 250cc to 650cc Lightweight and Heavyweight singles and 500cc to 650cc twins manufactured by AMC through 1966 (see below). Please note that it does not include the 750cc AMC G15/45 (1962-63) or the later Norton/AJS/ Matchless G15 hybrids. Owners of these 750cc hybrids are directed to the 'Norton 1966-70 Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' workshop manual, ISBN 9781588502421 as it includes significant maintenance and repair information on those models. While the single cylinder machines are always considered the backbone of AMC's post-war production, in 1948 they introduced a 500cc twin cylinder, the AJS model 20 and Matchless G9. However, it was 1957 before that singular model was joined by a number of additional 500cc, 600cc and 650cc twins. In 1958 they also added two 'lightweight' singles to their well respected line of 'heavyweight' singles. Unfortunately, by the mid 1960's, along with most British motorcycle manufacturers, AMC was struggling to compete with the flood of Japanese imports and by 1966, the AMC conglomerate had collapsed.

    190 pages, and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the owner's instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a set of service sheets. These publications cover all three variations of the 175cc two-stroke and the 250cc four-stroke and electric start models manufactured from 1959-1965. Neither BSA nor Triumph ever published a workshop manual for these models, however, the combination of these three publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: Maintenance, repair and service information was issued under both the BSA and Triumph name. However, as the machines were identical in all aspects, any technical documentation can be applied to either manufacturer without hesitation.SERVICE SHEETS: Beginning in December 1959, both BSA and Triumph began publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual (dealer only) 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that it was never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public. However, they were eventually combined into a single publication and released under both the BSA and Triumph names, the contents being identical in either case. INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Both BSA and Triumph published an identical 'Instruction Manual' the only difference being the name on the front cover. These publications were somewhat more detailed than typical 'owner's manuals' as they included overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. As these instruction manuals were included with each new scooter purchased, there were a number of 'editions' published during the lifetime of the model, however, the contents remained basically unchanged. When combined with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual. PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manuals are also identical and include exploded component diagrams that are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process.ADDITIONAL DATA: There is an addendum to the rear of this manual that contains a number of communications that were sent from the UK factory to their US distributors. These documents are somewhat rare and they may be of help in assisting in the maintenance of one of these machines.DESIGN & GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: Designed by Edward Turner (Triumph) and sold under both BSA and Triumph brand names to take advantage of established distribution networks, this badge engineering was one of the last uses of the Sunbeam name. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic-the former in polychromatic green paint, also two-tone red and cream, with a BSA badge; the latter in a shell blue or mimosa and ivory (two-tone) with a Triumph badge.Introduced in late 1959, the scooter was available with a 250 cc four-stroke twin (10hp), or 175cc two-stroke single cylinder engine (7.5hp). Both engines were forced-air-cooled. The two-stroke was a development of the BSA Bantam engine but the four-stroke was a completely new parallel-twin with a gear drive to the gearbox. The contact-breaker fed two separate ignition coils, each of which connected directly to its own spark plug without the need for a distributor. Drive to the rear wheel was by a fully enclosed chain in an oil bath. Both versions had four, foot-operated gears. Some of the 250 twins were fitted with an electric starter and a 12 volt (not 6 volt) electrical system, they were identified as either B2S (Sunbeam) or TW2S (Triumph). The 250 cc four-stroke model was discontinued in 1964 and the 175cc two-stroke model in 1965.

    More than 550 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public, they were 'dealer only' publications and the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the mid 1960's. The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ringbinder that contained 166 individual service sheets (516 pgs) for the entire range of 1945 thru 1967 motorcycles. It is extremely difficult to find. It is this ring-bound publication that was used to create this 'Service Sheets Master Catalogue'. It includes every service sheet issued/updated by BSA from 1945 until the Service Sheet program was discontinued in the mid 1960's, models covered are as follows: A7 & A10 1947-62B31-B32-B33 and B34 1945-60 (Inc. Gold Star & competition models)C10-C10L-C11-C11G and C12 1945-58C15-C15T-C15S-C15SS and B40 1958-67D1-D3-D5 and D7 (Bantam) 1948-66M20-M21 and M33 1945-63Dandy 1956-62 At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups. Finally, there were a 900 series for the BSA Dandy and a 1000 series for the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress scooter. The 1000 series sheets were published under the generic title, 'Scooter Service Sheet'. These sheets did not display either company logo and they were never intended to be included in the ring-bound dealer album. Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, owners of BSA motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles.

Obviously, as the 1966 D10 and the 1968 to1970 D14 models share many mechanical similarities with the D7, this manual will also be of use to owners of those later models. Please note that service sheets other than those in the 500 series that are included in this publication may also contain data that is applicable to 'other' model groups, as that was the original intention.

This manual is a compilation of extremely scarce and difficult-to-find original factory publications for the Bridgestone 350GTR and 350GTO series of motorcycles. The factory publications included are: The 350GTR 'Technical Handbook' (Workshop Manual) publication number T7350E. The 350GTR 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P7350WO. The 350GTO 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P9350GTOWO, plus the appropriate pages from 'Tuning Up for Competition' publication number L8TUP. During the time they were in production, Bridgestone (Motorcycles) published 'Technical Handbooks' or, more appropriately, 'Workshop Manuals' for their various models. These factory issued workshop manuals were produced in small quantities and are scarce and difficult to find in today's market. In addition, the factory also published 'Parts Catalogues' which included exploded parts diagrams that are a useful tool for restoration work or even general maintenance tasks. These factory 'Parts Catalogues' were also re-printed by Rockford Motors but, unfortunately, many of the diagrams were reduced in size (some to less than a quarter page) making the details difficult to see. This manual also includes a re-print of the original factory 'Bridgestone350 GTR & 350GTO Parts Catalogues' with full page exploded parts diagrams. Rockford Motors also published repair 'manuals' but, unfortunately, the quality of the images were degraded in the re-print process (that was available at that time) and some of them are so poor that they are of little use. By utilizing both the original factory 'Technical Handbook' and 'Parts Catalogues' in the production of this combined manual, we have hopefully provided the reader with quality enhanced images that are far superior to those in the earlier Rockford reprints. As can be expected from a factory publication, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing or even a complete mechanical renovation making it an invaluable resource for collectors of these iconic motorcycles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Bridgestone 350GTR & 350GTO owners and enthusiasts worldwide.

    In 1952, Floyd Clymer published the first in a two-part series of motorcycle road test books that had originally appeared in the UK magazine, Motor Cycle. Obviously, these road tests focused on UK manufactured machines and European models that had UK distributors. The initial 1952 publication was followed by a second in 1954 that, in addition to motorcycle road tests, also included scooter, three wheeler and cyclemotor tests. With 120 pages, profusely illustrated with 226 images plus specifications and performance information for each model, this publication combines both the 1952 and 1954 books into a single edition that includes 49 Motorcycle, 2 Scooter, 2 Three Wheeler and 7 Cyclemotor road tests. At the time of publication, these books generated little interest with US motorcycle enthusiasts as Harley Davidson and Indian were the most widely accepted forms of two-wheel transportation. US based distributors of UK machines were scarce and the imports from Japan were still a number of years in the future. However, many of the motorcycles tested are extremely collectible today and independent road tests such as these, which were conducted at the time when these models were first introduced, will be of interest to owners of those machines as they highlight the pros and cons of each model and provide a unique comparison to their competitors. The front cover of this book provides a detailed list of the machines featured in the individual road tests. However, the various manufacturers included are as follows. MOTORCYCLES: Ariel, Bown, B.S.A., D.M.W., Dot, Excelsior, Francis-Barnett, Greeves, Indian (Brave), James, Norman, Norton, Royal Enfield, Sunbeam, Tandon, Triumph, Velocette & Vincent. SCOOTERS: Vespa & Lambretta. 3 WHEELERS: Bond & Reliant. CYCLEMOTORS: Berini, Cucciolo, Mini-Motor, Velo-Solex, Cyclemaster, Power Pak & B.S.A. Winged Wheel.

While there are certainly other books that deal with current Weber products, detailed information on these earlier carburetors is more difficult to find. Obviously, in addition to Alfa Romeo and Fiat automobiles, much of the information in this publication will be applicable to other vehicles that are equipped with similar Weber carburetion systems. Therefore, we believe this book is an important addition to any enthusiast's library and will help keep their Weber equipped automobiles in top operating condition. The book is split into two main sections, the first section deals with the 'Theory and Practice' of this series of Weber carburetors, the second section focuses on the installation, tune up and maintenance of Weber carburetors as fitted to the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 models, including the TI Super and Sprint GT Sedan, the 1600 Spider, Veloce and GT and the Fiat 500, 600, 1100, 1200 and 1500 Cabriolet.

With a total of 294 pages, the revised and expanded 4th UK edition is the most comprehensive of all of the 'Tuning for Speed' editions ever published. Earlier editions only stretched to 208 pages and later editions shrunk to 260 pages (or less) as what was thought to be 'dated information' was deleted from the contents. This 'dated information' is considered valuable today by those enthusiasts interested in vintage motorcycle tuning and modification. Consequently, this makes the revised 4th UK publication the most complete and desirable edition. Therefore, it is our pleasure to offer this reprint of the Floyd Clymer 'Revised 4th UK Edition or Second American Edition of 'Tuning for Speed' to motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. 'Tuning for Speed' was originally published in 1948 and continuously reprinted and updated in order to keep pace with the constantly evolving range of British motorcycles and engines. While the primary focus of this publication is on 1965 and prior British motorcycles, the theory and engineering it contains is still applicable to the current crop of high revving imports. 'Tuning for Speed' is considered by many knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts to be one of the best books ever written on how to improve, modify and fine tune a motorcycle engine and it is often referred to as one of the 'top 10' classic motorcycle books. The Floyd Clymer association with this publication dates back to the early 1960's when he purchased the United States Publishing rights for 'Tuning for Speed' from Temple Press in the UK and, in 1967, Clymer published the 1st American edition of that title. However, by 1967, the Clymer publication had been preceded by 8 printings of the UK edition and was incorrectly identified by Clymer as a 9th edition. In fact, the 1967 Clymer publication is actually a reprint of the less desirable 208 page 1960 UK edition. However, in 1963, the 4th UK edition was revised and expanded to 294 pages (with a second identical re-print in 1965). Therefore, this 2nd American edition of the Floyd Clymer publication of 'Tuning for Speed' includes all of that valuable 'dated information' that was deleted from the later editions and is identical in all respects to the 294 page1963/1965 revised and expanded 4th UK edition - with the exception that 7 pages of UK-based advertising to the rear of the book are not included in the Clymer publication.

    84 pages, 83 black & white illustrations, size 8.25 x 11 inches. Published in the USA under the same title in 1951 by Floyd Clymer, the original publication was a pocket sized landscape format book and it is often criticized as difficult to read due to its small print size. Consequently, this edition was re-formatted into a larger and more conventional portrait size which has increased the text size by almost 40%. This publication provides the reader with an insight into the country, and the manufacturers, that were ultimately destined to succumb to the dominance of the Japanese motorcycle industry. A total of 33 different British motorcycle manufacturers and their various models are included and sadly, less than a handful of those 33 manufacturers survive today. A 'must have' resource for any motorcycle enthusiast and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in British 'iron'. Many of the motorcycles featured within are highly collectible today and the predominance of these early manufacturers no longer exist. This truly historical documentation of the glory years of British motorcycle manufacturing has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market. We are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
