Front Suspension
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective or
damaged suspension is dangerous and
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
Never attempt to dismantle any part of
the suspension units, as all units
contain pressurized oil.
Skin and eye damage can result from
contact with the pressurized oil.
Front Fork Inspection
Examine each fork for any sign of
damage, scratching of the slider
surface, or for oil leaks.
If any damage or leakage is found,
consult an authorized Triumph dealer.
To check that the forks operate
smoothly:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground.
• While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the
forks up and down several times.
• If roughness or excessive stiffness
is detected, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer.
Front Suspension Setting Charts
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
accident.
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 front suspension set at
the Solo (normal) riding setting, as
shown in the relevant front suspension
setting 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 front
suspension and are only a guide. Setting
requirements may vary for rider weight
and personal preferences.
