SERVICE RELEASE N19

NATURE OF RELEASE: Operation of Steering Lock. MODELS AFFECTED: All Commando. PARTS AFFECTED: 030175 - Steering Lock and Keys. DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide. EXPLANATION: Would all concerned please note that the steering lock is intended to be operated with the handlebars turned fully to the right. Locking in any other position, whilst rendering the machine useless to a prospective "joy rider" type of thief, does not provide a sufficient deterrent to the more serious thief who would find illegal removal facilitated by the ability to manoeuvre either left or straight ahead. Riders should also be cautioned on the potential danger of immobilising the motorcycle in such a way that it could still be driven in a straight line.   September 1970 Norton Villiers Canada Limited
