Introduction
To maintain the motorcycle in a safe and reliable
condition, the maintenance and adjustments outlined in
this section must be carried out as specified in the
schedule of daily checks, and also in line with the
scheduled maintenance chart.
Weather, terrain and geographical location affects
maintenance. The maintenance schedule should be
adjusted to match the particular environment in which the
vehicle is used and the demands of the individual owner.
For advice on adjusting the service schedule, consult your
authorised Triumph dealer.
In order to correctly carry out the maintenance items
listed in the scheduled maintenance chart, special tools
and specialist knowledge will be required. As only an
authorised Triumph dealer will have this knowledge and

A dangerous riding condition could result from incorrect
maintenance leading to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
All maintenance is vitally important and must not be
neglected. Incorrect maintenance or adjustment may
cause one or more parts of the motorcycle to
malfunction. A malfunctioning motorcycle is dangerous
and may lead to an accident.
Triumph Motorcycles cannot accept any responsibility
for damage or injury resulting from incorrect
maintenance or improper adjustment carried out by the
owner.
Since incorrect or neglected maintenance can lead to a
dangerous riding condition, always have an authorised
Triumph dealer carry out the scheduled maintenance of
this motorcycle.
