Maintenance
80
When the correct amount of chain free
movement has been set, push the wheel
into firm contact with the adjusters.
Make sure the same adjuster marking is
aligned with the spindle adjuster on
both sides of the swinging arm.
Tighten both adjuster lock nuts to
15 lbf ft (20 Nm) and the rear wheel
spindle nut to
81 lbf ft (110 Nm).
Repeat the 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.
Chain and Sprocket Wear Inspection
Warning
Never neglect chain maintenance and
always have chains installed by an
authorized Triumph dealer. Use a
genuine Triumph supplied chain as
specified in the Triumph Parts Catalog.
The use of non-approved chains may
result in a broken chain or may cause
the chain to jump off the sprockets
leading to loss of motorcycle control or
an accident.
Caution
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.
