Údržba a opravy motocyklů ČZ 125 a 150C – Šulc Augustin (2018)

The book we present to you was prepared for printing back in 1955, but unfortunately, it was never published. Its content consists of articles that appeared in the magazine Svět Motorů from 1953 to 1955. The Šulc brothers focused on the maintenance and repair of the best-selling ČZ motorcycles, which are still the most widespread among collectors and vintage enthusiasts today. Many motorcyclists keep their motorcycles in good condition, but few know how to properly adjust a motorcycle, and even fewer can identify and fix a fault. Why? Because they do not know their motorcycle. Therefore, we want to help them. With these words, the Šulc brothers began a series of 25 articles that were published in installments and which they planned to release as a manual. They detailed riding techniques (breaking in a new motorcycle, riding uphill, riding at night), maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, chain tensioning, brake adjustment, tire care), as well as more complex topics (disassembling a carburetor, adjusting an ignition system, honing a cylinder, wheel alignment, engine repairs, removing and installing bearings, etc.). The articles are supplemented with technical photographs from the ČZ archive, comments on repair procedures from a contemporary perspective, and evaluations of what is usable and what is not.
