Warning
Make sure that the correct balance
between front and rear suspension is
maintained.
Suspension imbalance could signifi-
cantly change handling characteristics
leading to loss of control and an acci-
dent.
Refer to the front and rear suspension
setting charts for further information
or consult your Triumph dealer.
The motorcycle is delivered from the
factory with the rear suspension set at
the Solo (normal) riding settings, as
shown in the relevant suspension chart.
The Solo suspension settings provide a
comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding.
The suspension settings charts show
suggested settings for the rear
suspension and are only a guide. Setting
requirements may vary for rider weight
and personal preferences.
An increase in spring preload requires
firmer damping. A reduction in spring
preload requires softer damping. The
damping must be adjusted to the road
conditions and the spring preload.
