WARNING
Always perform the daily safety
checks every day before you ride the
motorcycle.
Failure to perform these daily safety
checks may lead to loss of motorcycle
control which could result in
motorcycle damage, serious injury or
death.
Check the following items each day
before you ride. The time required is
minimal, and these checks will help
ensure a safe, reliable ride.
If any doubt exists, refer to the
Maintenance section or contact a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorized
Triumph dealer.
Check:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel
leaks (see page 48).
Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick
or shown in sight glass. Add correct
specification oil as required. No leaks
from the engine or oil cooler (see
page 89).
Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (see
page 102).
Tires/Wheels: Correct inflation
pressures (when cold). Tread depth/
wear, tire/wheel damage, loose/broken
spokes, punctures etc. (see page 121).
Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually
check that steering and suspension
components, axles, and all controls are
properly tightened or fastened. Inspect
all areas for loose/damaged fasteners.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose
from lock to lock. No binding of any of
the control cables (see page 115).
Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push
the brake pedal to check for correct
resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal
where the travel is excessive before
meeting resistance, or if either control
feels spongy in operation (see page 106).
Brake Pads: Check that the correct
amount of friction material is remaining
on all the brake pads (see page 106 and
page 108).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid
leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks
on both reservoirs (see page 110 and
page 111).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No fork oil
leakage (see page 118).
Throttle: Make sure that the throttle
grip returns to the idle position without
sticking (see page 98).
Clutch: Smooth operation and correct
cable free play (see page 99).
Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (see page 96).
Electrical Equipment: All lights and horn
function correctly (see page 46).
Engine Stop: Engine run/stop switch
turns the engine OFF when the switch
is moved to the STOP position (see
page 45).
Stands: Returns to the fully up position
by spring tension. Return springs not
weak or damaged (see page 53).
