How to install How to Install
Warning!
This shock absorber was designed for use on
Triumph Tiger 1050 motorcycles only and should
not be installed on any other manufacturer’s
motorcycle. Installing this shock absorber on
any other manufacturer’s motorcycle will affect
the performance, stability and handling of the
motorcycle. This may affect the rider’s ability
to control the motorcycle and could cause an
accident.
Warning!
Always have Triumph approved parts,
accessories and conversions fitted by a trained
technician of an authorised Triumph dealer. The
fitment of parts, accessories and conversions by
a technician who is not of an authorised Triumph
dealer may affect the handling, stability or other
aspects of the motorcycle’s operation which
may result in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning!
Throughout this operation, ensure that the
motorcycle is stabilised and adequately
supported to prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling.
