Maintenance and Adjustment
Front Suspension
Front Fork Inspection
Examine each fork for any sign of damage,
scratching of the slider surface, or for oil
leaks.
If any damage or leakage is found, consult an
authorised Triumph dealer.
To check that the forks operate smoothly:
• Position the motorcycle on level ground.
• While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the forks
up and down several times.
• If roughness or excessive stiffness is
detected, consult your authorised
Triumph dealer.
• The suspension movement will be
affected by adjustment settings
(Street Triple R only).
Front Suspension Adjustment -
Street Triple
The Street Triple has no front suspension
adjustment.
Note:
• The Street Triple R is delivered from
the factory with the front suspension
set at the standard settings, as
shown in the relevant suspension
chart for each model.
• These charts are only a guide.
Setting requirements may vary for
rider weight and personal
preferences. See the following
pages for information regarding
suspension adjustment.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective or
damaged suspension is dangerous and
may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to dismantle any part of the
suspension units, as all units contain
pressurised oil. Skin and eye damage can
result from contact with the pressurised oil.
