Handlebars
Warning
It is recommended to have handlebar
adjustments carried out by a trained
technician of an authorized Triumph
dealer.
Handlebar adjustments carried
out by a technician who is not of
an authorized Triumph dealer may
affect the handling, stability or other
aspects of the motorcycle’s operation
which may result in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilized
and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will
help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall,
causing injury to the operator or
damage to the motorcycle.
