Front Suspension
Front Fork Inspection
Examine each fork for any sign of damage,
scratching of the slider surface, or for oil
leaks.
If any damage or leakage is found, consult an
authorised Triumph dealer.
To check that the forks operate smoothly:
• Position the motorcycle on level ground.
• While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the forks
up and down several times.
• If roughness or excessive stiffness is
detected, consult your authorised
Triumph dealer.

The standard suspension settings provide a
comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding. The
charts above show suggested settings for the
rear suspension.
Riding the motorcycle with defective or
damaged suspension is dangerous and
may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Never attempt to dismantle any part of the
suspension units, as all units contain
pressurised oil. Skin and eye damage can
result from contact with the pressurised oil.
