Foreword - Safety First

Warning

FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

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.

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.

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 220 kg.

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAM MABLE:

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.

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

Warning

Helmet and Clothing Parking

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.

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.

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.

Foreword - Safety First

Warning

Parts and Accessories

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.

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.

Maintenance/Equipment

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.

Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit (when the bank angle indicator is worn to a minimum of 5 mm in length) will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle. Therefore, always replace the bank angle indicator pegs when they are worn to 5 mm in length. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Foreword - Safety First

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.

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.

Riding

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.

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.

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

Warning

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.

Foreword - Safety First

Handlebars and Footrests

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.

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.

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.

Warning

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the road speed of the motorcycle.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute - rpm (r/min). On the right side of the tachometer face is the 'red zone'. Engine rpm (r/min) in the red zone is above maximum recommended engine speed and is also above the range for best performance.

Never allow engine rpm to enter the 'red zone' as severe engine damage may result.

Odometer/Trip Meter

There are two trip meters. Either trip meter shows the distance that the motorcycle has travelled since the meter on display was last reset to zero.

Do not attempt to switch between odometer and trip meter display modes or reset the trip meter with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

To switch between the odometer and trip meter display modes, press and release the reset button until the desired display is visible. The display will scroll through in the order:

•Odometer

• Trip meter 1

• Trip meter 2

•Clock

Trip Mete r R e s e t

To reset either of the trip meters, select and display the trip meter to be zeroed then press the reset button for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the trip meter on display will reset to zero.

Do not attempt to adjust the clock with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

To set the clock, turn the ignition to the ON position. Press and release the reset button until the clock is visible in the display screen.

Press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds. After 4 seconds either 24 Hr or 12 Hr will be shown flashing. Press and release the reset button to select the desired clock display. When the correct display is shown, do not touch the reset button until the clock is shown with the hour display flashing.

To reset the hour display, ensure that the hour display is still flashing. Press the reset button to change the setting. Each individual button 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, do not touch the reset button for 6 seconds. The minutes display will begin to flash automatically. The minutes display is adjusted in the same way as for the hours.

Once both hours and minutes are correctly set, do not touch the reset button for

6 seconds and the display will cease to flash automatically.

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.

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.

Do not continue to run the engine if the high coolant temperature warning is illuminated as severe engine damage may result.

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.

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

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non ABS braking system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the indicator light illuminated. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified. In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of control and an accident.
