‘How to Ride the Motorcycle’ section
of this owner’s handbook.
A
WARNING: Footrests
provided must always be
used by rider and passenger 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.
A
WARNING:
Never ride the
motorcycle when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs.
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

Foreword - Safety First
A
WARNING:
Use of a
motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit (when
1Omm
or more of the
radiused
tip of either front footrest
is
worn away) will allow the motorcycle
to be banked to an unsafe angle.
Never change the setting of the
gearchange rod or brake pedal
pushrod
as this may adversely affect
the bank angle at which the bank
angle indicators contact the ground.
Banking to an unsafe angle may
cause instability, loss of control and
an accident causing injury or death.
A
WARNING:
Ensure all
equipment which is required
by law is installed and functioning
correctly.
The removal or alteration of the
motorcycles
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.
A
WARNING: If the motorcycle
is involved in an accident or
collision it must be taken to an
authorised Triumph dealer for
inspection and repair. Any accident
can cause damage to the motorcycle
which, if not correctly repaired, may
cause a second accident which may
result in injury or death.
A
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 the fault
and may also prejudice safety.
A
WARNING: When riding the
motorcycle both rider and
passenger must always wear a crash
helmet, eye protection, gloves,
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
WARNING: A crash helmet is
one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger’s crash 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.

A
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.
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.
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 which may
result in an accident causing injury or
death.
A
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.
A
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 vehicle
.
Uneven or holed road surfaces.
l 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.
