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
429 lbs (195 kg).

Warning

GASOLINE 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 gasoline on the
engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when
refuelling.

If gasoline 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 gasoline
should immediately be removed.

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

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

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, boots, eye protection,
gloves, trousers (close fitting around the
knee and ankle) and a brightly colored
jacket. Brightly colored 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 colored 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.

When choosing a helmet, always look for a
DOT (Department of Transport) sticker
indicating that the helmet has DOT approval.
Do not buy a helmet without DOT approval.

Foreword - Safety First

Parking Parts and Accessories

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 unauthorized
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 authorized 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.

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.

Foreword - Safety First

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorized 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

Ensure all equipment that is required by
law is installed and functioning correctly.
The removal or alteration of the
motorcycle's lights, mufflers, 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

Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit (when 0.20 in (5 mm) of the bank
indicator remains) will allow the motorcycle
to be banked to an unsafe angle.

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

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident,
collision or fall, it must be taken to an
authorized 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.

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
motorcycle and may lead to loss of control
and an accident.

Warning

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

Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to become
licensed 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.

Foreword - Safety First

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.

9

Foreword - Safety First

Warning

Ensure that you know and respect the rules
of the road. Read and observe publications
such as 'MOTORCYCLE SAFETY', 'YOU
AND YO U R MOTOR CYCLE, RI D ING
TIPS' and also read and become familiar
with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE
HANDBOOK for your state.

Caution

This Triumph motorcycle is not fitted with
spark arresters. Operation in forests, brush
or grass areas may violate state and local
laws and regulations.

Note:

Wobble/Weave

A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of the
rear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is a
rapid, possibly strong shaking of the
handlebar. These are related but distinct
stability problems usually caused by excessive
weight in the wrong place, or by a
mechanical problem such as worn or loose
bearings or under-inflated or unevenly worn
tires.

Your solution to both situations is the same.
Keep a firm hold on the handlebars without
locking arms or fighting the steering.
Smoothly ease off the throttle to slow
gradually. Do not apply the brakes, and do
not accelerate to try to stop the wobble or
weave. In some cases, it helps to shift your
body weight forward by leaning over the
tank.

10

Handlebars and Footrests

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.

Foreword - Safety First

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.

General Information

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

This Triumph motorcycle is designed to run
on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI
octane rating (R+M)/2 of 89 or higher for
Daytona 675 and 675 R models, or a CLC or
AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher
for Street Triple and Street Triple R models.
Federal regulations require that pumps
delivering unleaded gasoline are marked
'UNLEADED' and that the Cost of Living
Council (CLC) or Anti-Knock Index (AKI)
octane rating is also displayed. These ratings
are an average of the Research Octane
Number (RON) and the Motor Octane
Number (MON).

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.

Note:

• If 'knocking' or 'pinging' occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal
load, use a different brand of
gasoline or gasoline which has a
higher octane rating.

Oxygenated Gasoline

To help in meeting clean air standards, some
areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline to
help reduce harmful emissions. These
gasolines are a blend of conventional
gasoline and another compound such as
alcohol. This Triumph motorcycle will give its
best performance when using unleaded
gasoline. However, the following should be
used as a guide if you use any oxygenated
fuels.

Ethanol

Ethanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol and
90% gasoline and is often described under
the names 'gasohol', 'Ethanol enhanced', or
'contains Ethanol'. This fuel may be used in
your Triumph motorcycle.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)

The use of gasolines containing up to 15%
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is
permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.

Caution

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in most
countries, states or territories. Use of
leaded fuel will damage the catalytic
converter.

45

General Information

Methanol

Caution

Fuels containing methanol should not be
used as damage to components in the fuel
system can be caused by contact with
methanol.

Caution

Because of the generally higher volatility of
oxygenated fuels, starting, engine
response and fuel consumption may be
adversely affected by their use. Should any
of these difficulties be experienced, run the
motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.

Warning

To help reduce hazards associated with
refuelling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:

Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to
the OFF position.

Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well

ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.

Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises
into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or
other sources may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow creating a fire
hazard.

After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.

Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice given
above will lead to a fire hazard, which
could cause damage to property, injury to
persons or death.

2. Key

To open the fuel tank cap, lift up the flap
covering the lock itself. Insert the key into the
lock and turn the key clockwise.

To close and lock the cap, push the cap down
into place with the key inserted, until the lock
'clicks' into place. Withdraw the key and close
the key cover.

Caution

Closing the cap without the key inserted
will damage the cap, tank and lock
mechanism.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.

Caution

Contaminated fuel may cause damage to
fuel system components.

Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above
the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure
there is enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands
through absorption of heat from the engine
or from direct sunlight.

General Information

Warning

Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.

If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the
spillage immediately and dispose of the
materials used safely.

Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any other
part of the motorcycle.

Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuel
leak or spillage, or any failure to observe
the safety advice given above may lead to
a fire hazard, which could cause damage to
property and injury or death to persons.

Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires will
reduce the tire's ability to grip the road.
This will result in a dangerous riding
condition potentially causing loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Stand

Side Stand

cdmg

1. S i d e st an d

The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand
on which the motorcycle can be parked.

After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.

Tool Kit and Handbook

The tool kit is located beneath the seat(s).
The handbook is located beneath the seat

(rear seat on Daytona 675 and 675 R).

48

Warning

The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock
system to prevent it from being ridden
with the side stand in the down position.

Never attempt to ride with the side stand
down or interfere with the interlock
mechanism as this will cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Note:

• When using the side stand, always
turn the handlebars fully to the left
and leave the motorcycle in first
gear.

General Information

Whenever the side stand is used, before
riding, always ensure that the side stand is
fully up after first sitting on the motorcycle.

For instructions on safe parking, refer to the
'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section.

Seat Lock

Seat Care

To prevent damage to the seat or seat cover,
care must be taken not to drop or lean the
seat against any surface which may damage
the seat or seat cover.

Caution

To prevent damage to the seat or seat
cover, care must be taken not to drop the
seat. Do not lean the seat against the
motorcycle or any surface which may
damage the seat or seat cover. Instead,
place the seat, with the seat cover facing
upwards, on a clean, flat surface which is
covered with a soft cloth.

Do not place any item on the seat which
may cause damage or staining to the seat
cover.

To remove the rear seat cover or rear seat
(where fitted): Remove the fastener located
beneath the padding. This will allow the rear
seat/seat cover to be slid forwards for
complete removal from the motorcycle.

1

Warning

To prevent detachment of the seat during
riding, after fitting always grasp the seat
and pull firmly upwards. If the seat is not
correctly secured, it will detach from the
lock. A loose or detached seat could cause
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

50

General Information

Breaking-In

Breaking-in is the name given to the process
that occurs during the first hours of a new
vehicle's operation.

In particular, internal friction in the engine will
be higher when components are new. Later
on, when continued operation of the engine
has ensured that the components have
'bedded in', this internal friction will be
greatly reduced.

A period of careful breaking-in will ensure
lower exhaust emissions, and will optimize
performance, fuel economy and longevity of
the engine and other motorcycle
components.

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometers):

• Do not use full throttle.

• Avoid high engine speeds at all
times.

• Avoid riding at one constant engine
speed, whether fast or slow, for a
long period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and
rapid accelerations, except in an
emergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than
3/4 of maximum engine speed.

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to
1500 kilometers):

• Engine speed can gradually be
increased to the rev limit for short
periods.

Both during and after breaking-in has been
completed:

• Do not over-rev the engine when
cold.

• Do not lug the engine. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle'.

• Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Shifting up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.

51

General Information

Safe Operation

Daily Safety Checks

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.

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:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks

(page 45).
Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick. Add

correct specification oil as required. No leaks
from the engine or oil cooler (page 74).

Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (page 84).
Tires/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures

(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tire/wheel
damage, punctures etc. (page 10 5 ).

Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually check that
steering and suspension 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 93).

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 88).

Brake Pads: There should be more than

0.06 in (1.5 mm) of friction material
remaining on all the pads (page 88).

Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid leakage.
Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX
and MIN marks on both reservoirs (page 88).

Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks from
fork seals (page 95).

Throttle: Throttle grip free play 0.8 - 0.12 in
(2 - 3 mm). Ensure that the throttle grip
returns to the idle position without sticking
(page 81 ).

Clutch: Smooth operation and correct cable
free play (page 83).

Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank (when the
engine is cold) (page 77).

Electrical Equipment: All lights and the
horn function correctly (page 40).

Engine Stop: Stop switch turns the engine
off (page 54

Stands: Returns to the fully up position by

spring tension. Return springs not weak or
damaged (page 48).

To Start the Engine

Check that the engine stop switch is in the
RUN position.

Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch on.

Note:

• When the ignition is switched on,
the tachometer needle will quickly
sweep from zero to maximum and
then return to zero. The
instrument warning lights will
illuminate and will then go off
(except those which normally
remain on until the engine starts ­see 'Warning Lights' on page 38).
It is not necessary to wait for the
needle to return to zero before
starting the engine.

• In very cold conditions, part open
the throttle to aid cold starting.
Return it to the closed position
once the engine has started.

Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

54

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Leaving the throttle fully closed, push the
starter button until the engine starts.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the engine in
a confined area. Exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
period of time. Always operate your
motorcycle in the open-air or in an area
with adequate ventilation.

Caution

Do not operate the starter continuously for
more than 5 seconds as the starter motor
will overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between each
operation of the starter to allow for cooling
and recovery of battery power.

Do not let the engine idle for long periods
as this may lead to overheating which will
cause damage to the engine.

Caution

The low oil pressure warning light should
go out shortly after the engine starts.

If the low oil pressure warning light stays
on after starting the engine, stop the
engine immediately and investigate the
cause. Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine damage.

• The motorcycle is equipped with
starter lockout switches. The switches
prevent the electric starter from
operating when the transmission is
not in neutral with the side stand
down.

• If the side stand is extended while
the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in neutral then
the engine will stop regardless of
clutch position.

Moving Off

Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear.
Open the throttle a little and let out the clutch
lever slowly. As the clutch starts to engage,
open the throttle a little more, allowing
enough engine speed to avoid stalling.

55

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Shifting Gears

1

cdma

1. Gearshift pedal

Close the throttle while pulling in the
clutch lever. Shift into the next higher or
lower gear. Open the throttle part way,
while releasing the clutch lever. Always
use the clutch when shifting gear.

Warning

Take care to avoid opening the throttle too
far or too fast in any of the lower gears as
this can lead to the front wheel lifting from
the ground (pulling a 'wheelie') and to the
rear tire breaking traction (wheel spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously,
particularly if you are unfamiliar with the
motorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of traction
will cause loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Note:

• The gearshift mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means
that, for each movement of the
gearshift pedal, you can only select
each gear, one after the other, in
ascending or descending order.

Warning

Do not shift to a lower gear at speeds that
will cause excessive engine rpm (r/min).
This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of
control and an accident. Engine damage
may also be caused. Shifting down should
be done such that low engine speeds will
be ensured.

Daytona 675 R Quickshifter

The Daytona 675 R is installed with a
race-style quickshifter which will trigger a
momentary engine cut to allow gears to
engage, without closure of the throttle or
operation of the clutch.

The quickshifter will only operate for up-shifts
and only then if the engine speed is greater
than 2500 rpm. The clutch must be used for
all other gear shifts including stopping and
pulling away.

The quickshifter will not operate if the clutch
is applied or if an up-shift is attempted by
mistake when in 6th gear.

It is necessary to use a "positive" pedal force
to ensure a smooth gear shift.

56

Braking

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged to allow the engine to help
slow down the motorcycle.

Downshift one gear at a time such that the
transmission is in first gear when the
motorcycle comes to a complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both brakes
at the same time. Normally the front brake
should be applied a little more than the
rear.

Downshift or fully disengage the clutch as
necessary to keep the engine from stalling.

Never lock the brakes, as this may cause
loss of control of the motorcycle and an
accident.

cdmk

1. Rear brake pedal (Daytona 675
shown)

Warning

For emergency braking, disregard
downshifting, and concentrate on applying
the front and rear brakes as hard as
possible without skidding. Riders should
practice emergency braking in a traffic-free
area.

Incorrect brake technique could result in
loss of control and an accident.

Triumph strongly recommends that all riders
take a course of instruction, which includes
advice on safe brake operation.

57

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

For your safety, always exercise extreme
caution when braking, accelerating or
turning as any improper action can cause
loss of control and an accident.
Independent use of the front or rear brakes
reduces overall braking performance.
Extreme braking may cause either wheel
to lock, reducing control of the motorcycle
and causing an accident.

When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn as closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause
wheel slip leading to loss of control and an
accident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or
on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver
and stop will be reduced. All of your
actions should be smooth under these
conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or
turning may cause loss of control and an
accident.

Warning

When descending a long, steep gradient,
use engine braking by down-shifting and
use the brakes intermittently. Continuous
brake application can overheat the brakes
and reduce their effectiveness.

Riding with your foot on the brake pedal
or your hands on the brake lever may
actuate the brake light, giving a false
indication to other road users. It may also
overheat the brake, reducing braking
effectiveness.

Do not coast with the engine switched off,
and do not tow the motorcycle. The
transmission is pressure-lubricated only
when the engine is running. Inadequate
lubrication may cause damage or seizure
of the transmission, which can lead to
sudden loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Always park on a firm, level surface to

prevent the motorcycle from falling.
When parking on a hill, always park facing

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

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park
such that the incline naturally pushes the
motorcycle towards the sidestand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline of
greater than 6° and never park facing
downhill.

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location
where parking lights are required
by law, leave the tail, license plate
and position lights on by turning
the ignition switch to P (PARK).

Do not leave the switch in the P position for
long periods of time as this will discharge the
battery.

Warning

Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface. Parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall
over causing damage to property and
personal injury.

Warning

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions. If
parking inside a garage or other structure,
be sure it is well ventilated and the
motorcycle is not close to any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.

Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.

Warning

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

Touching any part of the engine or exhaust
system when hot may cause unprotected
skin to become burnt.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Considerations for
High-Speed Operation

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 consideration of
weather and traffic conditions.

Warning

Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at
high speed in closed-course on-road
competition or on closed-course racetracks.
High-speed operation should only then be
attempted by riders who have been
instructed in the techniques necessary for
high-speed riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle's characteristics in all
conditions.

High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary from
those you are familiar with at legal road
speeds. Do not attempt high-speed
operation unless you have received
sufficient training and have the required
skills as a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.

Warning

The items listed are extremely important
and must never be neglected. A problem,
which may not be noticed at normal
operating speeds, may be greatly
exaggerated at high speeds.

General

Ensure the motorcycle has been maintained
according to the scheduled maintenance
chart.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns smoothly
without excessive free play or tight spots.
Ensure that the control cables do not restrict
the steering in any way.

60

Luggage

Make certain that any luggage containers are
closed, locked and securely fitted to the
motorcycle.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Tires

High-speed operation is hard on tires, and
tires that are in good condition are crucial to
riding safely. Examine their overall condition,
inflate to the correct pressure (when the tires
are cold), and check the wheel balance.
Securely install the valve caps after checking
tire pressures. Observe the information given
in the Maintenance and Specification sections
on tire checking and tire safety.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel
consumption that will result from high-speed
operation.

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.

Engine Oil

Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping-off.

Coolant

Check that the coolant level is at the upper
level line in the expansion tank. (Always
check the level with the engine cold.)

Electrical Equipment

Make certain that the headlight, brake/tail
light, turn signals, horn, etc. all work properly.

Miscellaneous

Visually check that all fasteners are tight.

Accessories and Loading

ACCESSORIES AND LOADING

The addition of accessories and carrying
additional weight can affect the motorcycle's
handling characteristics causing changes in
stability and necessitating a reduction in
speed. The following information has been
prepared as a guide to the potential hazards
of adding accessories to a motorcycle and
carrying passengers and additional loads.

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe
riding condition leading to an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
Ensure that the load is correctly secured
such that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.

Always check the load security regularly
(though not while the motorcycle is in
motion) and ensure that the load does not
extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of 429 lbs (195 kg).

This maximum loading weight is made up
from the combined weight of the rider,
passenger, any accessories fitted and any
load carried.

Do not install accessories or carry luggage
that impairs the control of the motorcycle.
Make sure that you have not adversely
affected the visibility of any lighting
component, road clearance, banking
capability (i.e. lean angle), control
operation, wheel travel, front fork
movement, visibility in any direction, or
any other aspect of the motorcycle's
operation.

This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except in
authorized closed-course conditions.

Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at
high speed in closed-course on-road
competition or on closed-course racetracks.
High-speed operation should only then be
attempted by riders who have been
instructed in the techniques necessary for
high-speed riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle's characteristics in all
conditions.

High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Warning

Warning

Accessories and Loading

Warning

Your passenger should be instructed that
he or she can cause loss of motorcycle
control by making sudden movements or
by adopting an incorrect seated position.

The rider should instruct the passenger as
follows:

• It is important that the passenger
sits still while the motorcycle is in
motion and does not interfere
with the operation of the
motorcycle.

• To keep his or her feet on the
passenger footrests and to firmly
hold onto the seat strap or the
rider's waist or hips.

• Advise the passenger to lean with
the rider when travelling around
corners and not to lean unless the
rider does so.

Warning

Do not carry animals on your motorcycle.
An animal could make sudden and

unpredictable movements that could lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Warning

The handling and braking capabilities of a
motorcycle will be affected by the presence
of a passenger. The rider must make
allowances for these changes when
operating the motorcycle with a passenger
and should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable with
the changes in motorcycle operating
characteristics that this brings about.

Motorcycle operation without making
allowances for the presence of a passenger
could lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

Warning

Never attempt to store any items between
the frame and the fuel tank. This can
restrict the steering and will cause loss of
control leading to an accident.

Weight attached to the handlebar or front
fork will increase the mass of the steering
assembly and can result in loss of steering
control leading to an accident.

64

Accessories and Loading

Warning

Do not carry a passenger unless he or she
is tall enough to reach the footrests
provided.

A passenger who is not tall enough to
reach the footrests will be unable to sit
securely on the motorcycle and may cause
instability leading to loss of control and an
accident.

Warning

Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.

The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the stability
and handling of the motorcycle.

Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle
stability may lead to loss of control or an
accident.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting
of non-approved accessories, incorrect
loading, worn tires, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather
conditions.

Warning

If the passenger seat is used to carry small
objects, they must not exceed 11 lbs (5 kg)
in weight, must not impair control of the
motorcycle, must be securely attached and
must not extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle.

Carrying of objects in excess of 11 lbs
(5 kg) in weight, that are insecure, impair
control or extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Even if small objects are correctly loaded
onto the rear seat, the maximum speed of
the motorcycle must be reduced to
80 mph (130 km/h).

Caution

Do not allow luggage to rest on or against
the upper portion of the rear bodywork.

Allowing luggage to rest on or against the
upper portion of the rear bodywork could
close the air gap between the bodywork
and the exhaust potentially causing the
bodywork to become damaged by
overheating.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoid
contact with the hot oil by wearing suitable
protective clothing, gloves, eye protection,
etc. Contact with hot oil may cause the skin
to be scalded or burned.

Remove the oil filter using Triumph service
tool T3880313. Dispose of the old filter in an
environmentally friendly way.

Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to the
sealing ring of the new oil filter. Install the oil
filter and tighten to 7lbfft (10Nm).

Install the oil drain plug and tighten to
18 l b f f t (2 5 N m ) .

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50
semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil
that meets specification API SH (or higher)
and JASO MA. Triumph recommends
Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully
synthetic).

Start the engine and allow it to idle for a
minimum of 30 seconds.

Caution

Raising the engine speed above idle before
the oil reaches all parts of the engine can
cause engine damage or seizure. Only
raise engine speed after running the
engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil to
circulate fully.

Caution

If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low
oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If
this light stays on when the engine is
running, stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause. Running the engine
with low oil pressure will cause engine
damage.

Ensure that the low oil pressure warning light
extinguishes shortly after starting.

Turn off the ignition, check the oil level using
the method previously described, and top-off
to between the minimum and maximum
level lines on the dipstick.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters

To protect the environment, do not pour oil
on the ground, down sewers or drains, or
into groundwater sources. Do not place used
oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt,
contact your local authority.

Oil Specification and Grade

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50
semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil
that meets specification API SH (or higher)
and JASO MA. Triumph recommends
Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully
synthetic).

Do not add any chemical additives to the
engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the
clutch and any additives could cause the
clutch to slip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent
oil, castor based oils or any oil not
conforming to the required specification. The
use of these oils may cause instant, severe
engine damage.

Cooling System

To ensure efficient engine cooling, check the
coolant level each day before riding the
motorcycle, and top-off the coolant if the level
is low.

Note:

• A year-round, Hybrid Organic Acid
Technology (known as Hybrid OAT
or HOAT) coolant is installed in the
cooling system when the
motorcycle leaves the factory. It is
colored green, contains a 50%
solution of ethylene glycol based
antifreeze, and has a freezing
point of -35°C (-31°F).

Corrosion Inhibitors

To protect the cooling system from corrosion,
the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in the
coolant is essential.

If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor is
not used, the cooling system will accumulate
rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator.
This will block the coolant passages, and
considerably reduce the efficiency of the
cooling system.

77

Maintenance and Adjustment

Coolant Level Inspection

Warning

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains
corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitable
for aluminum engines and radiators.
Always use the coolant in accordance with
the instructions of the manufacturer.

Coolant that contains anti-freeze and
corrosion inhibitors contains toxic
chemicals that are harmful to the human
body. Never swallow anti-freeze or any of
the motorcycle coolant.

Note:

• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as
supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed
and does not need to be diluted
prior to filling or topping-off the

Note:

• If the coolant level is being
checked because the coolant has
overheated, also check the level in
the radiator and top-off if
necessary.

• In an emergency, distilled water
can be added to the cooling
system. However, the coolant
must then be drained and
replenished with HD4X
Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as
possible.

Caution

If hard water is used in the cooling system,
it will cause scale accumulation in the
engine and radiator and considerably
reduces the efficiency of the cooling
system. Reduced cooling system efficiency
may cause the engine to overheat and
suffer severe damage.

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by an authorized
Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.

Radiator and Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and hose clips for tightness in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Have your authorized Triumph
dealer replace any defective items.

Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Clean
off any obstructions with a stream of
low-pressure water.

Warning

The fan operates automatically when the
engine is running. Always keep hands and
clothing away from the fan as contact with
the rotating fan can cause injury.

Caution

Using high-pressure water sprays, such as
from a car wash facility or household
pressure washer, can damage the radiator
fins, cause leaks and impair the radiator's
efficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through
the radiator by installing unauthorized
accessories, either in front of the radiator or
behind the cooling fan. Interference with
the radiator airflow can cause overheating,
potentially resulting in engine damage.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

Always be alert for changes in the 'feel' of
the throttle and have the throttle system
checked by an authorized Triumph dealer
if any changes are detected. Changes can
be due to wear in the mechanism, which
could lead to a sticking throttle.

An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck
throttle will lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.

Inspection

1. Throttle grip (Daytona 675 shown)

2. Correct setting 0.08 - 0.12 in

Warning

The throttle grip controls the throttle valves
in the throttle bodies. If the throttle cables
are incorrectly adjusted, either too tight or
too loose, the throttle may be difficult to
control and performance will be adversely
affected.

Check the throttle grip free play in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements and make adjustments as
necessary.

Warning

Use of the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted, incorrectly routed, sticking or
damaged throttle cables will interfere with
the throttle function resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

To avoid incorrect adjustment, incorrect
routing, or continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle, always have your
throttle checked and adjusted by your
authorized Triumph dealer.

Check that the throttle opens smoothly,
without undue force and that it closes without
sticking. Have your authorized Triumph
dealer check the throttle system if a problem
is detected or any doubt exists.

Check that there is 0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm)
of throttle grip free play when lightly turning
the throttle grip back and forth.

If there is an incorrect amount of free play,

Tighten the locknut.

Drive Chain

For safety and to prevent excessive wear the
drive chain must be checked, adjusted and
lubricated in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Checking,
adjustment and lubrication must be carried
out more frequently for extreme conditions
such as salty or heavily gritted roads.

If the chain is badly worn or incorrectly
adjusted (either too loose or too tight) the
chain could jump off the sprockets or break.
Therefore, always replace worn or damaged
chains using genuine Triumph parts supplied
by an authorized Triumph dealer.

Warning

A loose or worn chain, or a chain that
breaks or jumps off the sprockets could
catch on the engine sprocket or lock the
rear wheel.

A chain that snags on the engine sprocket
will injure the rider and lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Similarly, locking the rear wheel will lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

84

Maintenance and Adjustment

Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles
(300 kms) and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time that the
chain appears dry.

Use the special chain lubricant as
recommended in the Specification section.

Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers then
allow the motorcycle to stand unused for at
least 8 hours (overnight is ideal). This will
allow the oil to penetrate to the chain O-rings
etc.

Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.
If the chain is especially dirty, clean first and

then apply oil as mentioned above.

Caution

Do not use a pressure wash to clean the
chain as this may cause damage to the
chain components.

Repeat the chain adjustment check. Re-adjust
if necessary.

Operation of the motorcycle with insecure
adjuster locknuts or a loose wheel spindle
may result in impaired stability and
handling of the motorcycle. This impaired
stability and handling may lead to loss of
control or an accident.

Check the rear brake effectiveness. Rectify if
necessary.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle
with defective brakes and you must have
your authorized Triumph dealer take
remedial action before you attempt to ride
the motorcycle again. Failure to take

Maintenance and Adjustment

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and
Discs

After replacement brake discs and/or pads
have been fitted to the motorcycle, we
recommend a period of careful breaking-in
that will optimize the performance and
longevity of the discs and pads. The
recommended distance for breaking-in new
pads and discs is 200 miles (300 km).

After installing new brake discs and/or pads
avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and
allow for greater braking distances during the
breaking-in period.

Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced as a
wheel set. At the front, where two calipers
are fitted on the same wheel, replace all
the brake pads in both calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.

After replacement brake pads have been
fitted, ride with extreme caution until the
new pads have 'broken in'.

Brake Pad Wear Compensation

Disc and brake pad wear is automatically
compensated for and has no effect on the
brake lever or pedal action. There are no
parts that require adjustment on the front
and rear brakes.

Warning

If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it
is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel
becomes excessive, there may be air in the
brake lines and hoses or the brakes may
be defective.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle
under such conditions and your authorized
Triumph dealer must rectify the fault
before riding.

Riding with defective brakes may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

89

Maintenance and Adjustment

Disc Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of brake fluid in both
reservoirs and change the brake fluid in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as
recommended in the Specification section.
The brake fluid must also be changed if it
becomes, or is suspected of having become
contaminated with moisture or any other
contaminants.

Warning

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it
will absorb moisture from the air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce
the boiling point of the brake fluid causing
a reduction in braking efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake fluid
in accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a sealed
container and never use fluid from an
unsealed container or from one which has
been previously opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades of
brake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also check the
brake hoses for splits, deterioration and
damage.

Always rectify any faults before riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of

these items may cause a dangerous riding
condition leading to loss of control and an
accident.

Warning

If there has been an appreciable drop in
the level of the fluid in either fluid
reservoir, consult your authorized Triumph
dealer for advice before riding. Riding with
depleted brake fluid levels, or with a brake
fluid leak is dangerous and will cause
reduced brake performance potentially
leading to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Brake Light Switches

The brake light is activated independently by
either the front or rear brake. If, with the
ignition in the ON position, the brake light
does not work when the front brake lever is
pulled or the rear brake pedal is pressed,
have your authorized Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.

Warning

Riding the motorcycle with defective brake
lights is illegal and dangerous.

An accident causing injury to the rider and
other road users may result from use of a
motorcycle with defective brake lights.

Windshield Cleaning

Daytona 675 and 675 R only

Clean the windshield with a solution of mild
soap or detergent and lukewarm water. After
cleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft,
lint free cloth.

Caution

Products such as window cleaning fluids,
insect remover, rain repellent, scouring
compounds, gasoline or strong solvents
such as alcohol, acetone, carbon
tetrachloride, etc. will damage the
windshield. Never allow these products to
contact the screen.

If the transparency of the windshield is
reduced by scratches or oxidation which
cannot be removed, the windshield must be
replaced.

Warning

Never attempt to clean the windshield
while the motorcycle is in motion as
releasing the handlebars may cause loss of
vehicle control and an accident.

Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windshield will
reduce the rider's forward vision. Any such
reduction in forward vision is dangerous
and may lead to an accident causing injury
or death.

92

Maintenance and Adjustment

Caution

Corrosive chemicals such as battery acid
will damage the windshield. Never allow
corrosive chemicals to contact the
windshield.

Steering/Wheel Bearings

Caution

To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the inspection,
ensure that the motorcycle is stabilized and
secured on a suitable support. Do not
exert extreme force against each wheel or
rock each wheel vigorously as this may
cause the motorcycle to become unstable
and cause injury by falling from its support.

Ensure that the position of the support
block will not cause damage to the sump.

Steering Inspection

Lubricate and inspect the condition of the
steering (steering head) bearings in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.

Note:

• Always inspect the wheel bearings

at the same time as the steering
bearings.

upright position.

Raise the front wheel above the ground and
support the motorcycle.

Standing at the front of the motorcycle, hold
the lower end of the front forks and try to
move them forward and backward.

If any free play can be detected in the
steering (steering head) bearings, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect and
rectify any faults before riding.

Warning

Riding the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted or defective steering (steering
head) bearings is dangerous and may
cause loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.

Wheel Bearings Inspection

If the wheel bearings in the front or rear
wheel allow play in the wheel hub, are noisy,
or if the wheel does not turn smoothly, have
your authorized Triumph dealer inspect the
wheel bearings.

The wheel bearings must be inspected at the
intervals specified in the scheduled
maintenance chart.

Position the motorcycle on level ground, in an
upright position.

Raise the front wheel above the ground and
support the motorcycle.

Standing at the side of the motorcycle, gently
rock the top of the front wheel from side to
side.

If any free play can be detected, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect and
rectify any faults before riding.

Reposition the lifting device and repeat the
procedure for the rear wheel.

Warning

Operation with worn or damaged front or
rear wheel bearings is dangerous and may
cause impaired handling and instability
leading to an accident. If in doubt, have the
motorcycle inspected by an authorized
Triumph dealer before riding.

Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Front Suspension

Front Fork Inspection

Examine each fork for any sign of damage,
scratching of the slider surface, or for oil
leaks.

If any damage or leakage is found, consult an
authorized Triumph dealer.

To check that the forks operate smoothly:

• Position the motorcycle on level
ground.

• While holding the handlebars and
applying the front brake, pump the
forks up and down several times.

• If roughness or excessive stiffness is
detected, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer.

• The suspension movement will be
affected by adjustment settings
(Daytona 675 and Street Triple R
only).

Warning

Riding the motorcycle with defective or
damaged suspension is dangerous and
may lead to loss of control and an accident.

Note:

• The Daytona 675 and
Street Triple R are delivered from
the factory with the front
suspension set at the standard
settings, as shown in the relevant
suspension chart for each model.

• The Daytona 675 R is delivered
from the factory with the
suspension set at the standard­sport settings as shown in the
relevant suspension chart.

• These charts are only a guide.
Setting requirements may vary for
rider weight and personal
preferences. See the following
pages for information regarding
suspension adjustment.

• The Street Triple has no front
suspension adjustment.

Warning

Never attempt to dismantle any part of the
suspension units, as all units contain
pressurized oil. Skin and eye damage can
result from contact with the pressurized oil.
