References
References to the left hand or right hand side given in this manual are made when viewing the motorcycle from the rear.
Operations covered in this manual do not always include reference to testing the motorcycle after repair. It is essential that work is inspected and tested after completion and, if necessary, a road test of the motorcycle is carried out particularly where safety related items are concerned.
Dimensions
The dimensions quoted are to design engineering specification with service limits where applicable.
During the period of running-in from new, certain adjustments may vary from the specification figures given in this manual. These will be reset by the dealer at the 500 mile/800 km service, and thereafter should be maintained at the figures specified in this manual.
Repairs and Replacements
Before removal and disassembly, thoroughly clean the motorcycle. Any dirt entering the engine or other parts will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the motorcycle. Particular attention should be paid when installing a new part, that any dust or metal filings are cleared from the immediate area.
Force
Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Never lever a component as this will cause damage both to the component itself and to the surface being levered against.
Whenever tapping to aid removal of an item is necessary, tap lightly using a hide or plastic faced mallet.
Edges
Watch for sharp edges, especially during engine disassembly and assembly. Protect the hands with industrial quality gloves.
When replacement parts are required, it is essential that only genuine Triumph parts are used.
Safety features and corrosion prevention treatments embodied in the motorcycle may be impaired if parts other than genuine Triumph parts are fitted. In certain territories, legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to the manufacturer's specification.
