Maintenance and Adjustment
Brake Light Switches
The brake light is activated independently by
either the front or rear brake. If, with the
ignition in the ON position, the brake light
does not work when the front brake lever is
pulled or the rear brake pedal is pressed,
have your authorised Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
Steering/Wheel Bearings
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of the
steering (headstock) bearings in accordance
with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Note:
• Always inspect the wheel bearings at
the same time as the steering
bearings.
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop in
the level of the fluid in either fluid
reservoir, consult your authorised Triumph
dealer for advice before riding. Riding with
depleted brake fluid levels, or with a brake
fluid leak is dangerous and will cause
reduced brake performance potentially
leading to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective brake
lights is illegal and dangerous.
An accident causing injury to the rider and
other road users may result from use of a
motorcycle with defective brake lights.
Caution
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the inspection,
ensure that the motorcycle is stabilised 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.
Ensure that the position of the support
block will not cause damage to the sump.
