Lubricate and inspect the condition of
the steering head bearings in

• Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
Inspecting the Steering Head
Bearings for Free Play
Inspecting the Steering for
Free Play
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 forwards and
backwards.
If any free play can be detected in the
steering head bearings, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect
and rectify any faults before riding.
Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
Warning
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure 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.
Make sure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage
to the sump.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering head
bearings is dangerous and may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
