aligns with the front left hand split

Steering/Wheel Bearings
Caution
To prevent risk of injury from
the motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure that the
motorcycle is stabilized and secured
on a suitable support.
Do not exert extreme force against
each wheel or rock each wheel
vigorously as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable
and cause injury by falling from its
support.
Make sure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage to
the motorcycle.
Steering Inspection
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering head
bearings is dangerous and may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
If in doubt, have the motorcycle
inspected by an authorized Triumph
dealer before riding.
