Maintenance and Adjustment
Chain Free-Movement Adjustment
1. Adjuster clamp bolt
2. C-spanner
3. Eccentric adjuster
Loosen the adjuster clamp bolt.
Using the C-spanner supplied in the tool kit,
turn the rear hub/eccentric adjuster
(clockwise to loosen, counter-clockwise to
tighten) until the drive chain is correctly
adjusted.
Tighten the clamp bolt to 41 l b f f t ( 5 5 N m ) .
Repeat the chain adjustment check. Re-adjust
if necessary.
Check the rear brake effectiveness. Rectify if
necessary.
Chain and Sprocket Wear Inspection
1. Measure across 20 links
2. Weight
Remove the chain guards.
Stretch the chain taut by hanging a
20 - 40 lb (10 - 20 kg) weight on the chain.
Measure the length of 20 links on the
straight part of the chain from pin center of
the 1
st
pin to the pin center of the 21
st
pin.
Since the chain may wear unevenly, take
measurements in several places.
Operation of the motorcycle with an
insecure rear hub/eccentric adjuster clamp
bolt may result in impaired stability and
handling of the motorcycle. This impaired
stability and handling may lead to loss of
control or an accident.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle
with defective brakes and you must have
your authorized Triumph dealer take
remedial action before you attempt to ride
the motorcycle again. Failure to take
remedial action may reduce braking
efficiency leading to loss of control or an
accident.
