Maintenance and Adjustment

Brake Light Switches
The brake light is activated
independently by either the front or rear
brake. If, with the ignition in the ON
position, the brake light does not work
when the front brake lever is pulled or
the rear brake pedal is pressed, have
your authorised Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
Steering/Wheel Bearings
Steering Inspection
Note:
• Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
Lubricate and inspect the condition of
the steering (headstock) bearings in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
An accident causing injury to the rider
and other road users may result from
use of a motorcycle with defective
brake lights.
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure that the
motorcycle is stabilised and secured
on a suitable support. Do not exert
extreme force against each wheel or
rock each wheel vigorously as this
may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable and cause injury by falling
from its support.
Make sure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage
to the sump.
Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering
(headstock) bearings is dangerous and
may cause loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
