Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with
insecure rear hub/eccentric adjuster
pinch bolts 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.
• Repeat the drive chain adjustment
check. Readjust if necessary.
Warning
It is dangerous to operate the
motorcycle with defective brakes; you
must have your authorised 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 control or an accident.
