To adjust the drive chain free movement:
• Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
• Loosen the lock nuts on both the
left hand and right hand drive
chain adjuster bolts.
• Moving both adjusters by an equal
amount, turn the adjuster bolts
clockwise to increase drive chain
free movement and anticlockwise
to reduce drive chain free move-
ment.
• When the correct amount of drive
chain free movement has been set,
push the wheel into firm contact
with the adjusters.
• Tighten both adjuster lock nuts to
20 Nm and the rear wheel spindle
nut to
110 Nm.
• Repeat the drive chain adjustment
check. Readjust if necessary.
Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with
insecure adjuster lock nuts or a loose
wheel spindle may result in impaired
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
This impaired stability and handling
may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
• Check the rear brake effectiveness.
Rectify if necessary.
Warning
It is dangerous to operate the
motorcycle with defective brakes; you
must have your authorised Triumph
dealer take remedial action before you
attempt to ride the motorcycle again.
Failure to take remedial action may
reduce braking efficiency leading to
loss of motorcycle control or an
accident.
