Safe Operation
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
72
).
Engine Oil:
Correct level on dipstick. Add
correct specification oil as required. No
leaks from the engine or oil cooler
(page
116
).
Drive Chain:
Correct adjustment
(page
123
).
Tires/Wheels:
Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear,
tire/wheel damage, punctures etc.
(page
138
).
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
131
).
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
127
).
Brake Pads:
There should be more than
1.5 mm of friction material remaining on
all the brake pads (page
127
).
Brake Fluid Levels:
No brake fluid
leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks on
both reservoirs (page
128
).
Front Forks:
Smooth action. No leaks
from fork seals (page
132
).
Throttle:
Ensure that the throttle grip
returns to the idle position without
sticking (page
66
).
Clutch:
Smooth operation and correct
cable free play (page
122
).
Coolant:
No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (page
119
).
Electrical Equipment:
All lights and the
horn function correctly (page
149
).
Engine Stop:
Stop switch turns the
engine off (page
94
).
Stands:
Returns to the fully up position
by spring tension. Return springs not
weak or damaged (page
76
).
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every
day before you ride may result in
serious motorcycle damage or an
accident causing serious injury or
death.
