Drive Chain Free Movement
Adjustment
1. Adjuster bolt
2. Adjuster bolt lock nut
3. Rear wheel spindle nut
If the drive chain free movement is
incorrect, adjustment must be made as
follows:
▼ Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
▼ Loosen the lock nuts on both the left
hand and right hand chain adjuster
bolts.
▼ Moving both adjusters by an equal
amount, turn the adjuster bolts
clockwise to increase drive chain free
movement and counterclockwise to
reduce drive chain free movement.
▼ When the correct amount of drive
chain free movement has been set,
push the wheel into firm contact
with the adjusters. Tighten both
adjuster lock nuts to 15lbfft (20 Nm)
and the rear wheel spindle nut to
81lbfft (110 Nm).
▼ Repeat the drive chain adjustment
check. Readjust if necessary.
Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with
insecure adjuster lock nuts or a loose
wheel spindle may result in impaired
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
This impaired stability and handling
may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
▼ Check the rear brake effectiveness.
Rectify if necessary.
Warning
It is dangerous to operate the
motorcycle with defective brakes; 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 motorcycle control or an
accident.
