Maintenance and Adjustment
Inspection
Check that there is 0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm)
clutch lever free play at the lever.
If there is an incorrect amount of free play,
adjustments must be made.
Adjustment
Loosen the knurled locknut at the lever end
of the clutch cable and turn the adjuster
sleeve until the correct amount of clutch lever
free play is achieved.
Tighten the knurled locknut against the
clutch lever assembly.
If correct adjustment cannot be made using
the lever adjuster, use the cable adjuster at
the lower end of the cable.
Loosen the adjuster locknut.
Turn the outer cable adjuster to give
0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm) of free play at the
clutch lever.
Tighten the locknut.
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 authorized Triumph dealer.
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.
