Maintenance and Adjustment
Drive Chain
For safety
and to
prevent
excessive
wear the drive chain must be
checked, adjusted and lubricated in
accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Checking, adjustment and
lubrication must be carried out more
frequently for extreme conditions
such as salty or heavily gritted
roads.
If the chain is badly worn or
incorrectly adjusted (either too loose
or too tight) the chain could jump off
the sprockets or break. Therefore,
always replace worn or damaged
chains using genuine Triumph parts
supplied by an authorised Triumph
dealer.
Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 500
miles and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time
that the chain appears dry.
Use the special chain lubricant as
recommended in the specification
section.
Apply lubricant to the sides of the
rollers then allow the motorcycle
stand unused for at least 8 hours
(overnight is ideal). This will allow
the oil to penetrate to the chain ‘O’-
rings etc.
Before riding, wipe off any excess
oil.
If the chain is especially dirty, clean
first and then apply oil as mentioned
above.
Warning
A loose or worn chain, or a chain
that breaks or jumps off the
sprockets could catch on the
engine sprocket or lock the rear
wheel.
A chain that snags on the engine
sprocket will injure the rider and
lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Similarly, locking the rear wheel
will lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Caution
Do not use a pressure wash to
clean the chain as this may cause
damage to the chain components.
