Wheel Bearings Inspection
Warning
Riding with worn or damaged front
or rear wheel bearings is dangerous
and may cause impaired handling and
instability leading to an accident.
If in doubt, have the motorcycle
inspected by an authorised Triumph
dealer before riding.
If the wheel bearings in the front or
rear wheel allow play in the wheel hub,
are noisy, or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have your authorised Triumph
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be inspected
at the intervals specified in the
scheduled maintenance chart.

Inspecting the Wheel Bearings
To inspect the wheel bearings:
• Position the motorcycle on level
ground, in an upright position.
• Raise the front wheel off the ground
and support the motorcycle.
• Standing at the side of the
motorcycle, gently rock the top of
the front wheel from side to side.
• If any free play can be detected, ask
your authorised Triumph dealer to
inspect and rectify any faults before
riding.
• Reposition the lifting device and
repeat the procedure for the rear
wheel.
• Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
