Warning!
- Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
- A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
- An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
The vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range 20-30 mm.
1. Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
2. Loosen the lock nuts on both the left hand and right hand chain adjuster bolts.
3. Moving both adjusters by an equal amount, turn the adjuster bolts clockwise to increase chain free movement and anticlockwise to reduce chain free movement.
1. Adjuster bolt; 2. Adjuster bolt lock nut; 3. Rear wheel spindle nut
4. When the correct amount of chain free movement has been set, push the wheel into firm contact with the adjusters. Tighten both adjuster lock nuts to 20 Nm and the rear wheel spindle nut to 110 Nm.
5. Repeat the chain adjustment check. Readjust if necessary.
Warning! Operation of the motorcycle with insecure adjuster lock nuts or a loose wheel spindle may result in impaired stability and handling of the motorcycle. This impaired stability and handling may lead to loss of control or an accident.
6. Check the rear brake effectiveness. Rectify if necessary.
Warning! It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective brakes; you must have your authorised Triumph dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
