CAUTION
All suspension units contain
pressurised oil.
Do not attempt to dismantle any part
of the suspension units. Inspections
and repairs must be completed by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Accidental release of pressurised oil or
springs could result in minor to
moderate injury.
Inspecting the Front Forks (Trident
shown)
▼ Position the motorcycle on level
ground.
▼ While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the
forks up and down several times.
▼ Check for roughness or excessive
stiffness.
▼ Examine each fork for any sign of
damage, scratching of the slider
surface, or for oil leaks.
If a problem is detected or any doubt
exists, the forks must be inspected by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
