WARNING
It is dangerous to operate the

If a problem is detected or any doubt
exists, the brakes must be inspected

specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Operation of the motorcycle with
defective brakes may lead to loss of

Drive Chain and Sprocket Wear
Inspection
WARNING
Replacement drive chains must be
installed by a competent person with
the specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
We recommend to always replace
worn or damaged chains using
genuine Triumph parts.
Incorrectly installed drive chains may
result in a broken drive chain or may
cause the drive chain to jump off the
sprockets, leading to loss of
motorcycle control which could result
in serious injury or death.
NOTICE
If the sprockets are found to be worn,
always replace the sprockets and drive
chain together.
Replacing worn sprockets without also
replacing the drive chain will lead to
premature wear of the new sprockets.
▼ For drive chain inspection, remove
the final drive chain guard, see
page149.
