Daily Safety Checks

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.
Check the following:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel
leaks (page 101).
Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick. Add
correct specification oil as required. No
leaks from the engine or oil cooler
(page 140).
Drive Chain:

Tires/Wheels:
pressures (when cold). Tread depth/
wear, tire/wheel damage, punctures etc.
(page 174).
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 162).
Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push
the brake pedal to check for correct
resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal

Front Brake Pads: Check that the
correct amount of friction material is
remaining on all

grip returns to the idle position without
sticking (page 26).
