Maintenance and Adjustment
111
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 authorized Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
Steering/Wheel Bearings
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of
the steering (steering head) bearings in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Note:
•
Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
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 stabilized 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.
