Do not allow the wheel to rest on either brake disc
as this may damage the disc leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
To prevent wheel and wheel bearing damage,
ensure dirt and debris are not allowed to enter the
wheel bearings.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with
defective brakes and 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.
7. Thoroughly clean all components and inspect for
wear or damage.
