Front Suspension
This model is equipped with hydraulic, telescopic front forks. The front suspension has electronic adjustment of
compression and rebound damping (TSAS). Adjustment is carried out using instrument menus.
Periodic inspection for damage and fluid leaks is essential for safe riding. Always follow the inspection
instructions at the intervals stated in the scheduled maintenance chart.
Fork Inspection
Examine each fork for any sign of damage or scratching of the slider surface or for oil leaks.
If any damage or oil leakage is found, strip and repair as described in this section or consult an authorised
Triumph dealer.
Check for smooth operation of the forks as follows:
Place the motorcycle on level ground
While holding the handlebars and applying the front brake, pump the forks up and down several times.
If roughness or excessive stiffness is detected, repair as described in this section or consult an authorised
Triumph dealer.
Riding the motorcycle with defective or damaged suspension can cause loss of motorcycle control and an
accident. Never ride with damaged or defective suspension.
Front Fork - Removal
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it
