Brake Light
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
An accident causing injury to the rider
and other road users may result from
use of a motorcycle with defective
brake lights.
The brake light is activated
independently by either the front or
rear brake. If, with the ignition in the ON
position, the brake light does not work
when the front brake lever is pulled or
the rear brake pedal is pressed, have
your authorised Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
Steering/Wheel Bearings
Caution
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure that the
motorcycle is stabilised and secured on
a suitable support.
Do not exert extreme force against
each wheel or rock each wheel
vigorously as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable and
cause injury by falling from its support.
Make sure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage to
the sump.
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of
the steering (headstock) bearings in
accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Note:
• Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
