WARNING

loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open-
air or in an area with adequate ventilation.
Start the engine. 5.
Note
Upon clicking start, the rear preload motor adjustment collar will move approximately 0.5 mm in the
selected direction.
It will take approximately 38 repeated tests to operate the preload motor through its full adjustment
range from end stop to end stop, however It is not necessary to do this to verify correct motor
operation. Three to five repeated tests are sufficient to verify motor operation.
If the preload motor is operated through its full adjustment range (38 repeated tests), allow the motor
to cool for five minutes before running further tests.
Click start and observe the rear preload motor adjustment collar movement. Repeat the test as necessary to
verify correct motor operation. 6.
Repeat the test in the opposite direction to verify correct motor operation in both directions. 7.
Note
If no adjustment collar movement can be observed, check for any stored DTCs, rectify as necessary
and repeat the rear preload motor test. If the rear preload motor still doesn’t function correctly,
contact Triumph service.
Turn the ignition off and disconnect the Triumph diagnostic tool. Allow 15 seconds for the chassis ECM to
power down. 8.
Note
With the ignition switch turned off, the Triumph diagnostic tool will prevent the chassis ECM from
powering down if it is left connected to the motorcycle.
To enable the chassis ECM to power down, disconnect the diagnostic tool from the motorcycle.
After running the rear preload motor up/down tests, the rear preload motor will automatically
recalibrate the next time the ignition switch is turned on, provided the chassis ECM is first allowed
to power down.
Turn the ignition switch On and allow the rear preload motor to calibrate, see Rear Suspension Unit Preload
Motor Calibration. 9.

motor up/down function tests can be used to attempt to free the motor as follows.
