Maintenance and Adjustment
decrease spring pre-load. When delivered
from the factory, the pre-load adjuster will be
set at position 2.
Refit the panniers (see page 34 ).
Suggested Suspension Settings
Adjuster settings are counted from position
one with position one being with the adjuster
turned fully anti-clockwise. There are five
positions in total. Position one gives the
minimum amount of spring pre-load.
Note:
• The details given in the table are
to be used as a guide only where
the rider and passenger each
weigh 90 kg or less. Setting
requirements should be increased
for heavier riders and passengers
and according to personal
preferences.
Final Drive Unit
Other than checking and changing the final
drive oil level, the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. If a fault occurs with the
final drive unit, your Triumph dealer must
replace the complete assembly.
Check the final drive unit for oil leaks in
accordance with the scheduled maintenance
chart.
Final Drive Oil Level Adjustment
1. Final drive unit
2. Oil level/filler plug
Warning
Ensure that the adjusters are set to the
same setting on both rear suspension
units. Settings that vary from left to right
may affect handling and stability resulting
in loss of motorcycle control, and an
accident.
