machine oil.

Horns are pre-set to give their best performance and, in general, no further adjustment
is necessary.
If the horn becomes uncertain in its action, giving only a choking sound, or does not
vibrate, it does not follow that the horn has broken down—the trouble may be due to
a discharged battery, a loose connection, or short-circuit in the wiring of the horn.
In particular, ascertain that the horn-push bracket is in good electrical contact with the
handlebars.
It is also possible that the performance of a horn may be upset by its mounting becoming
loose.
Terminals
All models have the POSITIVE battery terminal connected to "EARTH".
The earth connection, for the electrical system, is connected to the frame, on top of the
seat lug tube.
Remove the twin seat for access.
