Daily Safety Checks
Warning
Failure to perform these checks
every day before you ride may result
in serious motorcycle damage or an
accident causing 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 irregularities are found during
these checks, refer to the Maintenance
and Adjustment section or see your
authorised Triumph dealer for the action
required to return the motorcycle to a
safe operating condition.
Check the following:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel
leaks (page 72).
Engine Oil: Correct oil level in sight glass.
Add correct specification oil as required.
No leaks from the engine (page 107).
Drive Chain: Correct adjustment
(page 120).
Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation
pressures (when cold). Tread depth/
wear, tyre/wheel damage, punctures
etc. (page 134).
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 fixings.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose
from lock to lock. No binding of any of
the control cables (page 128).
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 (page 122).
Front Brake Pads: Check that the
correct amount of friction material
is remaining on all the brake pads
(page 122).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid
leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks on
both reservoirs (page 124).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks
from fork seals (page 130).
Throttle: Make sure that the throttle
grip returns to the idle position without
sticking (page 64).
Clutch: Smooth operation and correct
cable free play (page 117).
Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (page 114).
Electrical Equipment: All lights and the
horn function correctly (page 153).
Engine Stop: Stop switch turns the
engine off (page 84).
Stand: Returns to the fully up position
by spring tension. Return springs not
weak or damaged (page 79).
