Steering/Wheel Bearings
Caution
To prevent risk of injury from
the motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure 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.
Make sure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage to
the motorcycle.
Steering Inspection
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering
(headstock) bearings is dangerous and
may cause loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Note
Always inspect the wheel bearings at
the same time as the steering bearings.
Lubricate and inspect the condition
of the steering (headstock) bearings
in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Inspecting the Steering for Free Play
To inspect the steering:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground, in an upright position.
• Raise the front wheel above the
ground and support the motorcycle.
• Standing at the front of the
motorcycle, hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward.
• If any free play can be detected in
the steering (headstock) bearings,
ask your authorised Triumph dealer
to inspect and rectify any faults
before riding.
• Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
