Maintenance and Adjustment
Steering/Wheel Bearings
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of the
headstock (steering) bearings in accordance
with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Note:
•
Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
Inspecting the Steering (Headstock)
Bearings 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 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.
Wheel Bearings Inspection
If the wheel bearings in the front or rear
wheel allow play in the wheel hub, are noisy,
or if the wheel does not turn smoothly, have
your authorised Triumph dealer inspect the
wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be inspected at the
intervals specified in the scheduled
maintenance chart.
Position the motorcycle on level ground, in an
upright position.
Raise the front wheel above the ground and
support the motorcycle.
Warning
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the inspection,
ensure 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.
Ensure that the position of the support
block will not cause damage to the sump.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering (headstock)
bearings is dangerous and may cause loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
