Service Manual - Scrambler 1200
XC
Introduction
Introduction
This manual is designed primarily for use by trained technicians in a properly
equipped workshop. However, it contains enough detail and basic information to
make it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and
repair work. The work can only be carried out if the owner has the necessary hand
and special service tools to complete the job.
A basic knowledge of mechanics, including the proper use of tools and workshop
procedures is necessary in order to carry out maintenance and repair work
satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts regarding his
ability to do the work, an authorised Triumph dealer must undertake all adjustments,
maintenance, and repair work.
In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text and
thoroughly familiarise yourself with procedures before starting work.
All work should be performed with great care and in a clean working area with
adequate lighting.
Always use the correct special service tools or equipment specified. Under no
circumstances use makeshift tools or equipment since the use of substitutes may
adversely affect safe operation.
Where accurate measurements are required, they can only be made using
calibrated, precision instruments.
For the duration of the warranty period, an authorised Triumph dealer must perform
all repairs and scheduled maintenance.
To maximise the life of your motorcycle:
Accurately follow the maintenance requirements of the periodic maintenance
chart in the Service Manual.
Do not allow problems to develop. Investigate unusual noises and changes in
the riding characteristics of the motorcycle. Rectify all problems as soon as
possible (immediately if safety related).
Use only genuine Triumph parts as listed in the electronic parts catalogue (EPC).
Follow the procedures in this manual carefully and completely. Do not take short
cuts.
Keep complete records of all maintenance and repairs with dates and any new
parts installed.
