Front Suspension
Front Fork Inspection
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective or
damaged suspension is dangerous and
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to dismantle any part of
the suspension units, as all units
contain pressurised oil.
Skin and eye damage can result from
contact with the pressurised oil.
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 authorised 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
authorised Triumph dealer.
Front Suspension Adjustment
Warning
Make sure that the correct balance
between front and rear suspension is
maintained.
Suspension imbalance could
significantly change handling
characteristics leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Refer to the front and rear suspension
setting charts for further information
or consult your dealer.
All models except Tiger 1200 XR are
equipped with Triumph Semi Active
Suspension (TSAS).
For more information on TSAS settings
and adjustment, see
page 110
.
Tiger 1200 XR Model
The front forks on the Tiger 1200 XR
model are adjustable for compression
damping and rebound damping.
Note:
• The Tiger 1200 XR motorcycle is
delivered from the factory with the
front suspension set at the Solo
(Normal) riding settings, as shown
in the Front Suspension Setting
Chart (see
page 192
).
