Front Suspension
Warning
Make sure that the adjusters are set
to the same setting on both front
suspension units.
Settings that vary from left to right
may affect handling and stability
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Make sure that the correct balance
between front and rear suspension is
maintained.
Suspension imbalance could
significantly change handling
characteristics leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Refer to the tables for further
information or consult your authorized
Triumph dealer.
