or if the wheel does not turn smoothly, have
your authorized Triumph dealer inspect the
wheel bearings.
The wheel bearings must be inspected at the
intervals specified in the

Position the motorcycle on level ground, in an
upright position.
Raise the front wheel above the ground and

Standing at the side of the motorcycle, gently
rock the top of the front wheel from side to

If any free play can be detected, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect and
rectify any faults before riding.
Reposition the lifting device and repeat the
procedure for the rear wheel.
