Maintenance and Adjustment
103
Also inspect the sprockets for unevenly
or excessively worn or damaged teeth.
If there is any irregularity, have the drive
chain and/or the sprockets replaced by
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Refit the chain guards. Tighten the bolts
to 7Nm.
Brakes
Brake Wear Inspection
1. Brake pads
2. Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance with scheduled require-
ments and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad (front
or rear brakes) is less than 1.5 mm
(0.06 in), that is, if the pad has worn
down to the bottom of the grooves,
replace all the pads on the wheel.
The use of non-approved chains may
result in a broken chain or may cause
the chain to jump off the sprockets.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied chain
as specified in the Triumph Parts
Catalogue.
Never neglect chain maintenance and
always have chains installed by an
authorised Triumph dealer.
If the sprockets are found to be worn,
always replace the sprockets and
drive chain together.
Replacing worn sprockets without also
replacing the chain will lead to
premature wear of the new sprockets.
WORN TOOTH
(ENGINE SPROCKET)
WORN TOOTH
(REAR SPROCKET)
(Sprocket wear exaggerated
for illustrative purposes)
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both
calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have 'broken in'.
