Triumph Tiger - Tyre and Brake System Maintenance

Maintenance and Adjustment
Also inspect the sprockets for unevenly or
excessively worn or damaged teeth.
If there is any irregularity, have the drive
chain and/or the sprockets replaced by an
authorised Triumph dealer.
Replace the chain guards.
Brakes
Brake Wear Inspection
1. Brake pads
2. Minimum thickness line
Brake pads must be inspected in accordance
with scheduled requirements and replaced if
worn to, or beyond the minimum service
thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear
brakes) is less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), that is, if
the pad has worn down to the bottom of the
grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
Warning
The use of non-approved chains may result
in a broken chain or may cause the chain
to jump off the sprockets.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied chain as
specified in the Triumph Parts Catalogue.
Never neglect chain maintenance and
always have chains installed by an
authorised Triumph dealer.
Caution
If the sprockets are found to be worn,
always replace the sprockets and drive
chain together.
Replacing worn sprockets without also
replacing the chain will lead to premature
wear of the new sprockets.
