Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Examine each fork for any sign of damage or scratching of the slider surface or for oil
leaks.
If any damage or oil leakage is found, strip and repair as described in this section or
consult an authorised Triumph dealer.
Check for smooth operation of the forks as follows:
• Place 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, repair as described in the Front
suspension section of this service manual or consult an authorised Triumph dealer.
Riding the motorcycle with defective or damaged suspension can cause loss of
motorcycle control and an accident. Never ride with damaged or defective suspension.
