Note:
• This chart is only a guide. Setting
requirements may vary for rider
weight and personal preferences.
See the following pages for
information regarding suspension
adjustment.
The standard suspension setting
provides a comfortable ride and good
handling characteristics for general, solo
riding. The chart shows suggested
settings for the front suspension.
Warning
Make sure that the adjusters are set
to the same setting on both front
suspension units. Settings that vary
from left to right may affect handling
and stability resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Make sure that the correct balance
between front and rear suspension is
maintained. Suspension imbalance
could significantly change handling
characteristics leading to loss of
control and an accident. Refer to the
table for further information or consult
your Triumph dealer.
