General Information
Safe Operation
Daily Safety Checks
Check the following items each day before
you ride. The time required is minimal, and
these checks will help ensure a safe, reliable
ride.
If any irregularities are found during these
checks, refer to the Maintenance and
Adjustment section or see your authorised
Triumph dealer for the action required to
return the motorcycle to a safe operating
condition.
Check:
Fuel:
Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks
(page
37
).
Engine Oil:
Correct level on sight glass. Add
correct specification oil as required (page
66
).
Tyres/Wheels:
Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear (min 2.0 mm
tread depth), tyre/wheel damage and
loose/broken spokes, punctures etc.
(page
116
).
Drive Chain:
Check drive chain for correct
adjustment and lubrication (page
74
).
Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners:
Visually check that
steering and suspension components, axles,
and all controls are properly tightened or
fastened. Inspect all areas for loose/damaged
fixings.
Steering Action:
Smooth but not loose from
lock to lock. No binding of any of the control
cables (page
83
).
Brakes:
Pull the brake lever and push the
brake pedal to check for correct resistance.
Investigate any lever/pedal where the travel is
excessive before meeting resistance, or if
either control feels spongy in operation
(page
78
).
Brake Pads:
There should be more than
1.5 mm of friction material remaining on all
the pads (page
78
).
Brake Fluid Levels:
No brake fluid leakage.
Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX
and MIN marks on both reservoirs (page
79
).
Front Forks:
Smooth action. No fork oil
leakage (page
84
).
Throttle:
Throttle grip free play 2 - 3 mm.
Ensure that the throttle grip returns to the
idle position without sticking (page
70
).
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every day
before you ride, or operation of the
motorcycle with faults noted in any of the
areas below, may result in serious
motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
