Foreword - Safety First

FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Off-road operation could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle resulting in an accident causing injury or loss of life.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his/her own, or a rider and one passenger (subject to a passenger seat being fitted).

The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of:

Sprint ST - 215 kg (473 lbs);

Sprint GT - 215 kg (473 lbs).

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap while smoking or in the vicinity of any open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers when refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or allowed to get into the eyes, seek immediate medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be immediately washed off with soap and water and clothing contaminated with petrol should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with petrol.

Warning

Never start your engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Foreword - Safety First

Riding

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Riding when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs reduces the rider's ability to maintain control of the motorcycle and may lead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licenced to operate the motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle without a licence is illegal and could lead to prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without formal training in the correct riding techniques that are necessary to become licenced is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Always ride defensively and wear the protective equipment mentioned elsewhere in this foreword. Remember, in an accident, a motorcycle does not give the same impact protection as a car.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. Always reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather or heavy traffic.

Warning

Continually observe and react to changes in road surface, traffic and wind conditions. All two-wheeled vehicles are subject to external forces which may cause an accident. These forces include but are not limited to:

• Wind draft from passing vehicles;

• Potholes, uneven or damaged road surfaces;

• Bad weather;

• Rider error.

Always operate the motorcycle at moderate speed and away from heavy traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its handling and operating characteristics. Never exceed the legal speed limit.

Foreword - Safety First

Helmet and Clothing Handlebars and Footrests

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger must always wear a motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility to other operators of road vehicles. Although full protection is not possible, wearing correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of injury when riding.

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. You and your passenger's helmet should be carefully chosen and should fit you or your passenger's head comfortably and securely. A brightly coloured helmet will increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility to other operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some protection in an accident though a full face helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved goggles to help vision and to protect your eyes.

Warning

The rider must maintain control of the vehicle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times.

The handling and stability of a motorcycle will be adversely affected if the rider removes his hands from the handlebars, resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The rider and passenger must always use the footrests provided, during operation of the vehicle.

By using the footrests, both rider and passenger will reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with any motorcycle components and will also reduce the risk of injury from entrapment of clothing.

Foreword - Safety First

Parking Parts and Accessories

Triumph does not accept any liability whatsoever for defects caused by the fitting of non-approved parts, accessories or conversions or the fitting of any approved parts, accessories or conversions by non-approved personnel.

Warning

Always turn off the engine and remove the ignition key before leaving the motorcycle unattended. By removing the key, the risk of use of the motorcycle by unauthorised or untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always remember the following:

Engage first gear to help prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians, animals and/or children are likely to touch the motorcycle.

Do not park on soft ground or on a steeply inclined surface. Parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over.

For further details, please refer to the 'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of this owner's handbook.

Warning

Owners should be aware that the only approved parts, accessories and conversions for any Triumph motorcycle are those which carry official Triumph approval and are fitted to the motorcycle by an authorised dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous to fit or replace parts or accessories whose fitting requires the dismantling of, or addition to, either the electrical or fuel systems and any such modification could cause a safety hazard.

The fitting of any non-approved parts, accessories or conversions may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation that may result in an accident causing injury or death.

Foreword - Safety First

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorised Triumph dealer whenever there is doubt as to the correct or safe operation of this Triumph motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of an incorrectly performing motorcycle may aggravate a fault and may also compromise safety.

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle.

The maximum bank angle wear limits are:

• Sprint ST - 5mm remaining;

•Sprint GT - 15 m m remaining.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Ensure all equipment that is required by law is installed and functioning correctly. The removal or alteration of the motorcycle's lights, silencers, emission or noise control systems can violate the law. Incorrect or improper modification may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation, which may result in an accident causing injury or death.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident, collision or fall, it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for inspection and repair. Any accident can cause damage to the motorcycle that, if not correctly repaired, may cause a second accident that may result in injury or death.

General Information

After a short time, the clock's hour display will start to flash.

To reset the hour display, ensure that the hour display is still flashing then depress the 'scroll' button to change the setting. Each individual press will change the setting by one digit. If the button is held, the display will continuously scroll through in single digit increments.

When the correct hour display is shown, press the 'set' button. The minutes display will begin to flash. The minutes display is adjusted in the same way as for the hours.

Once both hours and minutes are correctly set, press the 'set' button to confirm the setting. The display will cease to flash.

Coolant Temperature Gauge

1. Coolant temperature gauge

The coolant temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant.

When the ignition is switched on, all 10 bars of the display will be shown. When the engine is started from cold the display will show 1 bar. As the temperature increases, more bars will be shown in the display.

The normal temperature range is between 3and 6 bars.

If the coolant temperature becomes too high, the display will show 9 bars and will start to flash. The high coolant temperature warning light in the tachometer will also be illuminated.

If the coolant temperature increases further, all 10 bars of the display will flash. The high coolant temperature warning light in the tachometer will remain illuminated.

General Information

Fuel Gauge

1. Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.

With the ignition switched on, the number of bars shown in the display indicates the level of fuel in the tank.

When the fuel tank is full, all 10 bars are displayed and when empty, no bars are displayed. Other gauge markings indicate intermediate fuel levels between full and empty.

When 2 bars are displayed, the low fuel warning light will illuminate. This indicates there are approximately 4.0 litres of fuel remaining in the tank and you should refuel at the earliest opportunity.

After refuelling, the fuel gauge and range to empty information will be updated only while riding the motorcycle.

Depending on the riding style, this could take approximately 5 minutes.

Caution

Do not continue to run the engine if either of the high temperature warnings are displayed as severe engine damage may result.

Warning Lights

Direction Indicators

When the indicator is pushed to the left or right, the corresponding turn indicator light will flash on and off at the

same speed as the turn indicators.

High Beam

When the ignition is switched on and the headlight dip switch is set to 'high beam', the high

beam warning light will illuminate.

Low Fuel

The low fuel indicator will illuminate when there are approximately 4.0 litres of fuel remaining in the tank.

Neutral

The neutral warning light indicates when the transmission

is in neutral (no gear selected). The warning light will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral with the ignition switch in the ON position.

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

With the engine running, if the engine oil pressure becomes

dangerously low, the low oil pressure warning light in the tachometer will illuminate.

The low oil pressure warning light in the tachometer will illuminate if the ignition is switched on without running the engine.

High Coolant Temperature Warning Light

With the engine running, if the engine coolant temperature becomes dangerously high, the

high coolant temperature warning light in the tachometer will illuminate.

The high coolant temperature warning light in the tachometer will illuminate if the ignition is switched on without running the engine.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the low oil pressure warning light illuminates. Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the low oil pressure warning light is illuminated.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the high coolant temperature warning light illuminates. Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the high coolant temperature warning light is illuminated.

General Information

Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light

The malfunction indicator light for the engine management

system illuminates when the ignition is switched on (to indicate that it is working) but should not become illuminated when the engine is running.

If the malfunction indicator light becomes illuminated when the engine is running, this indicates that a fault has occurred in one or more of the systems controlled by the engine management system. In such circumstances, the engine management system will switch to 'limp-home' mode so that the journey may be completed, if the fault is not so severe that the engine will not run.

Note:

• If the malfunction indicator light flashes when the ignition is switched on, contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the situation rectified. In these circumstances the engine will not start.

Alarm Indicator Light

The alarm light will illuminate when the conditions described in the accessory alarm

instructions are met.

The light does not function unless an alarm is fitted.

Warning

Reduce speed and do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the malfunction indicator light illuminated. The fault may adversely affect engine performance, exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Reduced engine performance could cause a dangerous riding condition, leading to loss of control and an accident. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

General Information

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Indicator Light - Sprint GT only

The ABS indicator light illuminates to show that the ABS

function is not available. Illumination is normal after engine start-up, and until the motorcycle first reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unless there is a fault, it should not illuminate again until the engine is restarted.

If the indicator light becomes illuminated at any other time while riding it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.
