Daily Safety Checks

Warning
Failure to perform these checks every
day before you ride may result in
serious motorcycle damage or an
accident causing serious injury or
death.
Check the following items each day
before you ride. The time required is
minimal, and these checks will help
ensure a safe, reliable ride.
If any irregularities are found during
these checks, refer to the Maintenance
and Adjustment section or see your
authorized Triumph dealer for the action
required to return the motorcycle to a
safe operating condition.

Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually check
that steering
components, axles, and all controls are
properly tightened or fastened. Inspect
all areas for loose/damaged fasteners.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose
from lock to lock. No binding of any of
the control cables (page 157).
Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push
the brake pedal to check for correct
resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal
where the travel is excessive before
meeting resistance, or if either control
feels spongy in operation (page 148).
Front Brake Pads: Check that the
correct amount of friction material is
remaining on all
(page 148).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid
leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks on
both reservoirs (page 152).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks
from fork seals (page 158).
Throttle: Make sure that the throttle
grip returns to the idle position without
sticking (page 26).
Clutch: Smooth operation and correct
cable free play (page 142).
Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (page 139).
Electrical Equipment: All lights and the
horn function correctly (page 178).

engine off (page 112).
