Introduction
This manual
is
designed primarily for use by trained
technicians
in
a properly equipped workshop.
However,
it
contains enough detail and basic
information to make it useful to the owner who desires
to
perform his
own
basic maintenance and repair
work. The work can only
be
carried out if the owner
has the necessary hand and special service tools to
complete the job.
A basic knowledge of mechanics, including the proper
use of tools and workshop procedures
is
necessary
in
order to carry out maintenance and repair work
satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient
experience or doubts his ability to do the work,
an
authorised Triumph dealer must undertake
all
adjustments, maintenance, and repair work.
In
order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid
costly mistakes,
read
the text and thoroughly
familiarise yourself with procedures before starting
work.
All work should
be
performed with great care and
in
a
clean working area with adequate lighting.
Aiways use the correct special service tools or
equipment specified. Under
no
circumstances use
makeshift tools or equipment since the use of
SUbstitutes may adversely affect safe operation.
Where accurate measurements are required, they
can
only
be
made using calibrated, precision
instruments.
For
the duration of the warranty period,
an
authorised
Triumph Dealer must perform all repairs and
scheduled maintenance.
To
maximise the life of your Motorcycle:
• Accurately follow the maintenance requirements
of the periodic maintenance chart
in

Do
not allow problems to develop. Investigate
unusual noises and changes
in
the riding
characteristics of the motorcycle. Rectify all
problems as soon as possible (immediately if
safety related).
•
Use
only genuine Triumph parts
as
listed
in
the
parts catalogue/parts microfiche.
• Follow the procedures
in
this manual carefully
and completely.
Do
not take short cuts.
•
Keep
complete records of all maintenance and
repairs with dates and any new parts installed.

of
the
motorcycle.
