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 authorized
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
40
).
Engine Oil:
Correct level on dipstick. Add
correct specification oil as required. No leaks
from the engine or oil cooler (page
78
).
Drive Belt:
Correct adjustment. No
damage/cuts, frayed edges, or broken
teeth (page
96
).
Tires/Wheels:
Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tire/wheel
damage, punctures etc. (page
102
).
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
fasteners.
Steering Action:
Smooth but not loose from
lock to lock. No binding of any of the control
cables (page
93
).
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
89
).
Brake Pads:
There should be more than
0.06 in (1.5 mm) of friction material
remaining on all brake pads (page
89
).
Brake Fluid Levels:
No brake fluid leakage.
Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX
and MIN marks on both reservoirs (page
91
).
Front Forks:
Smooth action. No leaks from
fork seals (page
95
).
Throttle:
Throttle grip free play
0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm). Ensure that the
throttle grip returns to the idle position
without sticking (page
85
).
Clutch:
Smooth operation and correct cable
free play (page
88
).
Coolant:
No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank (when the
engine is cold) (page
81
).
Electrical Equipment:
All lights and horn
function correctly (page
34
).
Engine Stop:
Stop switch turns the engine
off (page
56
).
Stands:
Return to the fully up position by
spring tension. Return springs not weak or
damaged (page
43
).
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every day
before you ride may result in serious
motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
