the scheduled maintenance chart.
Position the motorcycle on level
ground, in an upright position.
Raise the front wheel above 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.
