Warning

The accessory kits covered in this instruction are
designed for use on specific models of Triumph
motorcycle. The accessory kits and the models
applicable are listed at the start of the instruction. They
should not be fitted to any other Triumph model or to
any other manufacturer’s motorcycle. Fitting an
accessory kit to a Triumph model not listed, or to 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.

Warning

If the engine has recently been running, the exhaust
system will be hot. Before working on or near the
exhaust system, allow sufficient time for the system to
cool, as touching any part of a hot exhaust could cause
burn injuries.

Warning

The tail pack must not be fitted to the sliding carriage
(if fitted). If a sliding carriage is fitted, the tail pack must
either be fitted to the pillion seat, or the sliding carriage
must be removed and the bike reverted to its standard
condition prior to fitting the tail pack to the rear rack.

Installation of the tail pack on to the sliding carriage will
affect the handling, stability or other aspects of the
motorcycle’s operation which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The tail pack must not be fitted in conjunction with a top
box. Installation of the tail pack together with a top box
will affect the handling, stability or other aspects of the
motorcycles’s operation which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Install the tail pack only in the positions described below.
Installation of the tail pack in any other position on the
motorcycle will affect the handling, stability or other
aspects of the motorcycle’s operation which may result
in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Remove all straps from the motorcycle when operating
the motorcycle with the tail pack removed. Operation of
the motorcycle with the straps fitted, and the tail pack
removed, may result in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

Warning

Remove the shoulder strap(s) from the tail pack before
mounting to the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle with the shoulder strap(s)
fitted may result in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Warning

50 Litre Tail Pack only: Secure the carry handles in to

the zipped compartments on either side of the tail pack
before mounting to the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle with the carry handles
unsecured may result in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

Warning

Always ensure the tail pack straps are correctly
tensioned before riding the motorcycle. Operation of
the motorcycle with the tail pack loose may result in loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.

• When using the tail pack, always pack heavier
items at the bottom of the bag.

Fitment to the Rear Rack

2. Grab handle lug (right hand shown)

Note:

• On the 10 litre tail pack, the long straps are not

• Ensure the underside of the tail pack is clean and
dry prior to fitting.

3. Position the tail pack to the rear rack, with the logo to
the rear.

Note:

• On the 10 litre tail pack ensure the rear mounting
straps are clipped together, as they are not used
when the tail pack is fitted to the rear rack.

Caution

Remove all straps from the motorcycle when operating
the motorcycle with the tail pack removed. Operation of
the motorcycle with the straps fitted, and the tail pack
removed, may result in damage to the straps or
motorcycle.

Warning

Always ensure any excess mounting strap is tied back
around itself to prevent the strap becoming trapped in
the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle with any excess strap
hanging loose may lead to the strap becoming
entangled with the rider and/or the motorcycle and
result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Always tie any excess mounting strap back around itself
to prevent the strap touching the motorcycle exhaust or
chafing against the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle with any excess strap not
secured may result in damage to the straps or the
motorcycle.

Warning

Ensure the tail pack or its mounting straps do not
obscure the rear light unit or direction indicators.

Riding the motorcycle with the rear lights or direction
indicators obscured may reduce other road users’
visibility of the motorcycle leading to an accident.

Warning

Ensure the tail pack or its mounting straps do not
interfere with the correct operation of the sliding
carriage (if fitted).

Riding the motorcycle with the sliding carriage operation
restricted may cause the motorcycle to become unstable
leading to loss of control and an accident.

Cleaning

To help maintain its appearance, clean the tail pack using
a sponge or cleaning cloth with low alkaline soap and
water.

Caution

Use of chemicals or high-pressure spray washers is not
recommended for cleaning the tail pack. Using
chemicals or pressure washers may damage the tail
pack.

Warning

The maximum safe load for the tail pack is 3 kg
(6.6 lbs). Never exceed this loading limit as this may
cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss
of control and an accident.

Warning

After fitting the accessory kit the motorcycle will exhibit
new handling characteristics. Operate the motorcycle in
a safe area free from traffic to gain familiarity with any
new characteristics. Operation of the motorcycle when
not familiar with any new handling characteristics may
result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle (including
those fitted with Triumph approved windscreens and
luggage systems) at speeds above 80 mph (130 km/h).

The presence of accessories such as windscreens and
luggage systems 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) limit will be
reduced by the fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather conditions.

Warning

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