Maintenance and Adjustment
Wheel Bearings Inspection
If the wheel bearings in the front or
rear wheel allow play in the wheel
hub, are noisy, or if the wheel does
not turn smoothly, have your
authorised Triumph dealer inspect
the wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be
inspected at the intervals specified in
the scheduled maintenance chart.
Position the motorcycle on level
ground, in an upright position.
Raise the front wheel above the
ground and support the motorcycle.
Standing at the side of the
motorcycle, gently rock the top of
the front wheel from side to side.
If any free-play can be detected, ask
your authorised Triumph dealer to
inspect and rectify any faults before
riding.
Reposition the lifting device and
repeat the procedure for the rear
wheel.
Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
Front Suspension
Front Fork Inspection
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 authorised Triumph
dealer.
To check that the forks operate
smoothly:
• Position the motorcycle on level
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 authorised Triumph dealer.
• The suspension movement will
be affected by adjustment
settings.
Warning
Operation with worn or damaged
front or rear wheel bearings is
dangerous and may cause
impaired handling and instability
leading to an accident. If in doubt,
have the motorcycle inspected by
an authorised Triumph dealer
before riding.
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 pressurised oil. Skin
and eye damage can result from
contact with the pressurised oil.
