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 authorized 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.
Note
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 authorized Triumph
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.
