Wheel Bearings Inspection
Warning
Riding with worn or damaged front or
rear wheel bearings is dangerous and
may cause impaired handling and
instability leading to an accident. If in
doubt, have the motorcycle inspected
by an authorised Triumph dealer before
riding.
If the wheel bearings in the front or rear
wheel allow play in the wheel hub, are
noisy, or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have your authorised Triumph
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be inspected
at the intervals specified in the
scheduled maintenance chart.

Inspecting the Wheel Bearings
To inspect the wheel bearings:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground, in an upright position.
• Raise the front wheel off the
ground and support the motorcycle.
• Standing at the side of the
motorcycle, gently rock the top of
the front wheel from side to side.
• If any free play can be detected,
ask your authorised Triumph dealer
to inspect and rectify any faults
before riding.
• Reposition the lifting device and
repeat the procedure for the rear
wheel.
• Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
