Wheel Bearings Inspection
Warning
Riding with worn or damaged front or
rear wheel bearings is dangerous and
may cause impaired handling and
instability leading to an accident. If in
doubt, have the motorcycle inspected
by an authorised Triumph dealer before
riding.
If the wheel bearings in the front or rear
wheel allow play in the wheel hub, are
noisy, or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have your authorised Triumph
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be inspected
at the intervals specified in the
scheduled maintenance chart.
Inspecting the Wheel Bearings
To inspect the wheel bearings:
Position the motorcycle on level ground,
in an upright position.
Raise the front wheel off the ground
and support the motorcycle.
Standing at the side of the motorcycle,
gently rock the top of the front wheel
from side to side.
If any free play can be detected, ask
your authorised Triumph dealer to
inspect and rectify any faults before
riding.
Reposition the lifting device and repeat
the procedure for the rear wheel.
Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
