increase chain free movement and
anticlockwise to reduce chain free
movement.
When the correct amount of chain free
movement has been set, push the wheel
into firm contact with the adjusters.

aligned with the spindle adjuster on
both sides of the swinging arm,

must have your authorized Triumph
dealer take remedial action before you

kg weight on the
chain.
Measure the length of 20 links on the
straight part of the chain from pin
center of the 1st pin to the pin center of
the 21st pin. Since the chain may wear
unevenly, take measurements in several
places.
If the length exceeds the maximum
service limit of 12.6
in (320
mm), the
chain must be replaced.
Rotate the rear wheel and inspect the
drive chain for damaged rollers, and
loose pins and links.
