Front Fork Inspection
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective
or damaged suspension is dangerous
and may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
Never attempt to dismantle any part
of the suspension units, as all units
contain pressurized oil.
Skin and eye damage can result from
contact with the pressurized oil.

ground.
• While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the
forks up and down several times.
• If roughness or excessive stiffness
is detected, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer.
• Examine each fork for any sign of
damage, scratching of the slider
surface, or for oil leaks.
• If any damage or leakage is found,
consult an authorized Triumph
dealer.
