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

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

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

195 kg.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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 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

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.

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 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

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

Use of a motorcycle with the bank angle indicator worn beyond the maximum limit

(when 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 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.

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.

When the fuel tank is full all 12 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 4.5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank and you should refuel at the earliest opportunity. If a trip meter display is visible, the range to empty display can be selected by pressing and releasing button 'B' until it is visible.

After refuelling, the fuel gauge and range to empty information will be updated only while riding the motorcycle. Depending on the riding style, updating could take up to five minutes.

34

Warning

The daily check of tyre pressures must not be excluded because of the fitment of the

TPMS. Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold and using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page

106

).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Function

Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tyre and transmit pressure data to the instruments. These sensors will not transmit the data until the motorcycle is travelling at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km). Two dashes will be visible in the display area until the tyre pressure signal is received.

The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an accessory fitted item and must be fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer. The

TPMS display on the instrument pack will only be activated when the system has been fitted.

An adhesive label will be fitted to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tyre pressure sensor which is near the valve.

General Information

Tyre Pressure Sensor Serial Number

The serial number for each tyre pressure sensor is printed on a label which is on the sensor. This number may be required by the dealer for service or diagnostics.

If the TPMS has been fitted at the factory, labels identifying the front and rear sensor serial numbers will be affixed to the spaces below.

If the TPMS is being fitted to the motorcycle as an accessory, ensure that the dealer records the serial numbers of the front and rear tyre pressure sensors in the spaces provided below.

General Information

To exit the tyre pressure display, press and release button 'A' to the desired display.

Sensor Batteries

When the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low, LO bAt will be displayed and the TPMS symbol will indicate which wheel sensor has the low battery voltage. If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be visible in the display screen, the red TPMS warning light will be on and the TPMS symbol will flash continuously. Contact your authorised Triumph dealer to have the sensor replaced and the new serial number recorded in the spaces provided on page

35

.

Tyre Pressures

The tyre pressures shown on your instrument panel indicate the actual tyre pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tyres are cold because tyres become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tyre to expand and the pressure to increase. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page

106

), and must not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.

With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, if the TPMS symbol flashes continuously and the TPMS warning light remains on there is a fault with the TPMS system. Contact your authorised Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

Warning

The tyre pressure monitoring system is not to be used as a tyre pressure gauge when adjusting the tyre pressures. For correct tyre pressures, always check the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold and using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page

106

).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Replacement Tyres

When replacing tyres, ensure they are aware that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels and always have an authorised

Triumph dealer fit your tyres (see page

'limp-home' mode, so that the journey may be completed, if the fault is not so severe that the engine will not run.

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.

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/Immobiliser Indicator Light

This Triumph model is fitted with an engine immobiliser which is activated when the ignition switch is turned to the

OFF position. If the motorcycle is fitted with the accessory alarm, the immobiliser will operate as normal but the alarm/immobiliser light will operate as described below.

With Alarm Fitted

The alarm/immobiliser light will only illuminate when the conditions described in the accessory alarm instructions are met.

Without Alarm Fitted

When the ignition switch turned to the OFF position, the alarm/immobiliser light will flash on and off for 24 hours to show that the engine immobiliser is on. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the immobiliser and the indicator light will be off.

If the indicator light remains on it indicates that the immobiliser has a malfunction that requires investigation. 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

(Only on models fitted with ABS)

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is normal that the ABS warning light will flash on and off. The light will continue to flash after engine start-up until the motorcycle first reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h) when it will go off.

Unless the ABS system is disabled (see page

26

), or 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.

Tyre Pressure Warning Light

(Only on models fitted with TPMS)

The tyre pressure warning light works in conjunction with the tyre pressure monitoring system

(see page

34

).

The warning light will only illuminate when the front or rear tyre pressure is below the recommended pressure. It will not illuminate if the tyre is over inflated.

When the warning light is illuminated, the

TPMS symbol indicating which is the deflated tyre and its pressure will automatically be visible in the display area.

1

Warning

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.

1. Key number tag

In addition to operating the steering lock/ignition switch, the ignition key is required to operate the seat lock and fuel tank cap.

When the motorcycle is delivered from the factory, two keys are supplied together with a small tag bearing the key number. Make a note of the key number and store the spare key and key number tag in a safe place away from the motorcycle.

A transponder is fitted within the key to turn off the engine immobiliser. To ensure the immobiliser functions correctly, always have only one of the ignition keys near the ignition switch. Having two ignition keys near the switch may interrupt the enable signal between the transponder and the engine immobiliser. In this situation the engine immobiliser will remain on until one of the ignition keys is removed.

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

Pb

Your Triumph engine is designed to use unleaded fuel and will give optimum performance if the correct grade of fuel is used. Always use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON.

Caution

In all countries except Australia and

New Zealand 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.

Caution

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

45

General Information

Fuel Tank Cap

Warning

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

Petrol (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 petrol (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.

1. Fuel tank cap

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.

46

General Information

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.

1 2 3

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, tyres 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 tyres will reduce the tyre's ability to grip the road.

This will result in a dangerous riding condition potentially causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

General Information

Running-In

Running-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 running-in will ensure lower exhaust emissions, and will optimise performance, fuel economy and longevity of the engine and other motorcycle components.

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):

• 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 kilometres):

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

Both during and after running-in has been completed:

• Do not over-rev the engine when cold.

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

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

51

General Information

To Start the Engine

Check that the engine stop switch is in the

RUN position.

Ensure the transmission is in neutral.

Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

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 page

37

. 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.

56

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

Slowly release the clutch lever.

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.

• 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 whilst 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.

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.

57

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Changing Gears

Note:

• The gear change mechanism is the

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

1

cgez

1. Gear change pedal

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

Warning

Do not change 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.

Changing down should be done such that low engine speeds will be ensured.

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 tyre 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.

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

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

Change down 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.

Change down 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.

cggg

1. Rear brake pedal

1

Warning

For emergency braking, disregard down changing, 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.

(See ABS warnings.)

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

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

59

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking, (whether or not

ABS is fitted), accelerating or turning as any incautious 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 (see ABS warning).

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 manoeuvre 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 changing 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.

ABS prevents the wheels from locking, therefore maximising the effectiveness of the braking system in emergencies and when riding on slippery surfaces. The potentially shorter braking distances ABS allows under certain conditions are not a substitute for good riding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

Never ride without due care and attention and always reduce speed in consideration of weather, road and traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will not be able to counteract the weight and momentum of the motorcycle. This can result in loss of control and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is possible that a motorcycle equipped with ABS may require a longer stopping distance than an equivalent motorcycle without ABS.

ABS Warning Light

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is normal for the ABS warning light to flash on and off (see page

39

). If the ABS warning light is constantly illuminated it indicates that the ABS function is not available because:

• the ABS has been disabled by the rider (see page

26

);

• the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

If the indicator light becomes illuminated while riding, it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

Note:

Normally, the rider will perceive

ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. As the ABS is not an integrated braking system and it does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time, this pulsation may be felt in the lever, the pedal or both.

The ABS may be activated by sudden upward or downward changes in the road surface.

Parking

Warning

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.

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminate when the rear wheel is driven at high speed for more than 30 seconds when the motorcycle is on a stand. This reaction is normal.

When the ignition is switched off and the motorcycle is re-started, the warning light will illuminate until the motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).

Warning

The ABS computer operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.

Select neutral and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

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 side stand.

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, licence plate and position lights on by turning the ignition switch to P (Park).

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

Considerations for

High-Speed Operation

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

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

Petrol 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.

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.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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.

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.

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and tyres that are in good condition are crucial to riding safely. Examine their overall condition, inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyres are cold), and check the wheel balance.

Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyre pressures. Observe the information given in the Maintenance and Specification sections on tyre checking and tyre safety.

Fuel

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

Caution

In all countries except Australia and New

Zealand 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.

64

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Engine Oil

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

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, rear/brake light, direction indicators, horn, etc. all work properly.

Miscellaneous

Visually check that all fixings are tight.

Accessories and Loading

ACCESSORIES AND LOADING

The addition of accessories and carriage of 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

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.

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 195 kg.

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

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 reduce by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

67

Accessories and Loading

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 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

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.

68

Accessories and Loading

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

If the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed 3.5 kg

(7.5 lb) 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.

Carriage of objects in excess of 3.5 kg

(7.5 lb) 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).

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 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

Running the engine with insufficient oil will cause engine damage. If the low oil pressure indicator remains on, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.

Start the engine and run at idle for approximately five minutes.

Stop the engine and wait for three minutes to allow the oil to settle.

With the motorcycle upright, remove the filler plug/dipstick, wipe the blade clean and screw it fully home.

Remove the filler plug/dipstick.

The oil level is indicated by lines on the filler plug/dipstick. When full, the indicated oil level must be level with the upper marking on the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the lower marking, add oil a little at a time until the correct level is reached. Once the correct level is reached, re-fit the filler plug/dipstick.

2. Oil filter

The engine oil and filter must be replaced in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Warning

Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains harmful contamination that can lead to skin cancer. Always wear suitable protective clothing and avoid skin contact with used oil.

Warm up the engine thoroughly, and then stop the engine and secure the motorcycle in an upright position on level ground.

Place an oil drain pan beneath the engine.

Remove the oil drain plug.

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.

Unscrew and 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. Fit the oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm.

Incorporating a new washer, refit the oil drain plug and tighten to 25 Nm.

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, such as Castrol Power 1

Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40

(fully synthetic) in some countries.

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.

79

Maintenance and Adjustment

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 up to between the minimum and maximum level lines on the dipstick.

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 watercourses. Do not place used oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt, contact your local authority.

Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use 10W/40 or

15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher)

and

JASO MA, such as

Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS

Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some countries.

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.

80

Maintenance and Adjustment

Cooling System

To ensure efficient engine cooling, check the coolant level each day before riding the motorcycle, and top up 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 coloured 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.

Warning

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitable for aluminium 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 up the cooling system.

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

The coolant level within the expansion tank can be inspected on the left hand side of the motorcycle without removing any covers.

Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. The coolant level must be between the

MAX and MIN level marks moulded into the expansion tank cover. If the coolant is below the minimum level, the coolant level must be adjusted.

Warning

Do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator will be hot and also under pressure. Contact with this hot, pressurised coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.

Allow the engine to cool.

To access the expansion tank, raise and support the fuel tank (see page

84

).

Remove the cap from the expansion tank and add coolant mixture through the filler opening until the level reaches the MAX mark on the expansion tank cover.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Note:

If the coolant level is being checked because the coolant has overheated, also check the level in

the radiator and top up 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.

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by an authorised

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 authorised Triumph dealer replace any defective items.

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

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.

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 unauthorised 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.

85

Maintenance and Adjustment

Inspection

Warning

Always be alert for changes in the 'feel' of the throttle and have the throttle system checked by an authorised 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.

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 authorised Triumph dealer.

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

Inspection

Check that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch lever free play at the lever.

If there is an incorrect amount of free play, adjustments must be made.

Adjustment

Turn the adjuster on the clutch lever until the correct amount of clutch lever free play is achieved at all steering angles.

If correct adjustment cannot be made using the lever adjuster, use the cable adjuster at the lower end of the cable.

Loosen the adjuster locknut.

Turn the outer cable adjuster to give

2 - 3 mm of free play at the clutch lever.

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 authorised Triumph dealer.

Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles 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.

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

93

Maintenance and Adjustment

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 pipes and hoses or the brakes may be defective.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and your authorised

Triumph dealer must rectify the fault before riding.

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

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.

Tyre Inflation Pressures

Correct inflation pressure will provide maximum stability, rider comfort and tyre life.

Always check tyre pressures before riding when the tyres are cold. Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if necessary. See the

Specification section for details of the correct inflation pressures.

106

Maintenance and Adjustment

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(if fitted)

The tyre pressures shown on your instrument pack indicate the actual tyre pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tyres are cold because tyres become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tyre to expand and increase the inflation pressure.

The cold inflation pressures specified by

Triumph take account of this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold using an accurate pressure gauge, and must not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.

Minimum Recommended Tread

Depth

In accordance with the periodic maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth specified in the table below:

Under 130 km/h

(80 mph)

Over 130 km/h

(80 mph)

2 mm (0.08 in)

Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)

Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

Warning

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

Warning

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems that may lead to loss of control and an accident.

Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off the rim.

Over-inflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of control leading to an accident.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is therefore not recommended to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.

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.

107

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of control and an accident.

When tubeless tyres become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tyres very closely for punctures. Check the tyres for cuts, embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tyres will adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling which may lead to loss of control or an accident.

Check the rims for dents or deformation.

Operation with damaged or defective wheels or tyres is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control or an accident could result.

Always consult your authorised Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tyre combinations are approved for use on this model. It is essential that approved tyres, fitted in approved combinations, are used when purchasing replacement tyres. The use of non-approved tyres, or approved tyres in non-approved combinations, may lead to motorcycle instability and an accident. On models fitted with ABS, different wheel speeds, caused by non-approved tyres can affect the function of the ABS computer.

See the Specification section for details of approved tyre combinations. Always have tyres fitted and balanced by your authorised

Triumph dealer who has the necessary training and skills to ensure safe, effective fitment.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(Only on models fitted with TPMS)

Caution

An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tyre pressure sensor. Care must be taken when replacing the tyres to prevent any damage to the tyre pressure sensors. Always have your tyres fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer and inform them that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels.

108

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

Use of non-recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and cause the Triumph traction control function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of control and an accident in conditions where the Triumph traction control would normally function.

Warning

On models fitted with ABS, the ABS computer operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels.

Use of non-recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.

Warning

Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres could slip on the rims, causing rapid tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control and an accident. Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will cause friction inside the tyre and the resulting heat build-up may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Warning

If tyre damage is suspected, such as after striking the kerb, ask your authorised

Triumph dealer to inspect the tyre both internally and externally. Remember, tyre damage may not always be visible from the outside. Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tyres could lead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

If a tyre sustains a puncture, the tyre must be replaced. Failure to replace a punctured tyre, or operation with a repaired tyre can lead to instability, loss of control or an accident.

109

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

When replacement tyres are required, consult your authorised Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tyres to be selected, in a correct combination, from the approved list and fitted according to the tyre manufacturer's instructions.

When tyres are replaced, allow time for the tyres to seat to the rim (approximately

24 hours). During this seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated tyre could cause loss of control or an accident.

Initially, the new tyres will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tyres and the rider must allow adequate riding distance (approximately 100 miles) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics.

24 hours after fitting, the tyre pressures must be checked and adjusted, and the tyres examined for correct seating.

Rectification must be carried out as necessary.

The same checks and adjustments must also be carried out when 100 miles have been travelled after fitting.

Warning

Tyres that have been used on a rolling road dynamometer may become damaged. In some cases, the damage may not be visible on the external surface of the tyre. Tyres must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tyre may lead to instability, loss of control and an accident.

Warning

Accurate wheel balance is necessary for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. Incorrect wheel balance may cause instability leading to loss of control and an accident.

When wheel balancing is required, such as after tyre replacement, see your authorised

Triumph dealer.

Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on weights may damage the wheel and tyre resulting in tyre deflation, loss of control and an accident.

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or when not accustomed to its handling characteristics may lead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

The battery contains harmful materials.

Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is fitted in the motorcycle.

Do not attach jump leads to the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.

Warning

Ensure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.

111

Maintenance and Adjustment

Battery Disposal

Should the battery ever require replacement, the original battery must be handed to a recycling agent who will ensure that the dangerous substances from which the battery is manufactured do not pollute the environment.

Battery Maintenance

Clean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Be sure that the cable connections are clean.

Warning

The battery acid is corrosive and poisonous and will cause damage to unprotected skin. Never swallow battery acid or allow it to come into contact with the skin. To prevent injury, always wear eye and skin protection when handling the battery.

The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the Voltage and routine recharging when required, such as during storage.

It is not possible to adjust the battery acid level in the battery; the sealing strip must not be removed.

Battery Discharge

Caution

The charge level in the battery must be maintained to maximise battery life.

Failure to maintain the battery charge level could cause serious internal damage to the battery.

Under normal conditions, the motorcycle charging system will keep the battery fully charged. However, if the motorcycle is unused, the battery will gradually discharge due to a normal process called self discharge; the clock, engine control module (ECM) memory, high ambient temperatures, or the addition of electrical security systems or other electrical accessories will all increase this rate of battery discharge. Disconnecting the battery from the motorcycle during storage will reduce the rate of discharge.

Battery Discharge During Storage and Infrequent Use of the

Motorcycle

During storage or infrequent use of the motorcycle, inspect the battery Voltage weekly using a digital multimeter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the meter.

Should the battery Voltage fall below

12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged

(see page

113

).

Allowing a battery to discharge or leaving it discharged for even a short period of time causes sulphation of the lead plates.

Sulphation is a normal part of the chemical reaction inside the battery, however over time the sulphate can crystallise on the plates making recovery difficult or impossible. This permanent damage is not covered by the motorcycle warranty, as it is not due to a manufacturing defect.

Keeping the battery fully charged reduces the likelihood of it freezing in cold conditions.

Allowing a battery to freeze will cause serious internal damage to the battery.

112

Maintenance and Adjustment

Battery Charging

For help with selecting a battery charger, checking the battery Voltage or battery charging, contact your local authorised

Triumph dealer.

For extended periods of storage (beyond two weeks) the battery should be removed from the motorcycle and kept charged using a

Triumph approved maintenance charger.

Similarly, should the battery charge fall to a level where it will not start the motorcycle, remove the battery from the motorcycle before charging.

Battery Installation

Warning

The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.

The battery contains sulphuric acid (battery acid). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.

If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water immediately.

If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK

MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL

ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Warning

Ensure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.

Maintenance and Adjustment

Cleaning

Frequent, regular cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance of your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned, the appearance will be preserved for many years. Cleaning with cold water containing an automotive cleaner is essential at all times but particularly so after exposure to sea breezes, sea water, dusty or muddy roads and in winter when roads are treated for ice and snow. Do not use household detergent, as the use of such products will lead to premature corrosion.

Although, under the terms of your motorcycle warranty, cover is provided against the corrosion of certain items, the owner is expected to observe this reasonable advice which will safeguard against corrosion and enhance the appearance of the motorcycle.

Preparation for Washing

Before washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following places:

Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover with a plastic bag secured with rubber bands.

Clutch and brake levers, switch housings on the handlebar: Cover with plastic bags.

Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover the keyhole with tape.

Remove any items of jewellery such as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles, which may scratch or otherwise damage painted or polished surfaces.

Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaning cloths for washing painted/polished surfaces and chassis areas. Chassis areas (such as wheels and under mudguards) will be exposed to more abrasive road grime and dust, which may then scratch painted or polished surfaces, if the same sponge or cleaning cloths are used.

Where to be Careful

Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places:

• Instruments;

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;

• Under the fuel tank;

• Headstock bearings;

• Air intake ducts.

Caution

Do not spray any water at all under the fuel tank. Any water sprayed around the air intake ducts (located under the front of the fuel tank) could enter the airbox and engine, causing damage to both items.

Caution

Use of high-pressure spray washers is not recommended. When using pressure washers, water may be forced into bearings and other components causing premature wear from corrosion and loss of lubrication.

121

Maintenance and Adjustment

Note:

• Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will leave a residue on painted surfaces, and may also cause water spotting. Always use a low alkaline soap to aid the cleaning process.

After Washing

Remove the plastic bags and tape, and clear the air intakes.

Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.

Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.

Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes.

Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaust fumes.

Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Do not allow water to stand on the machine as this will lead to corrosion.

Seat Care

Warning

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.

Loss of braking power and an accident could result. Clean the disc with a proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc cleaner.

Caution

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

To help maintain its appearance, clean the seat using a sponge or cleaning cloth with soap and water.

Unpainted Aluminium Items

Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels, engine covers, top and bottom yokes on some models must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance. Please contact your dealer if you are unsure which components on your motorcycle are unpainted aluminium parts.

Use a proprietary brand of aluminium cleaner which does not contain abrasive or caustic elements.

Clean aluminium items regularly, in particular after use in inclement weather, where the components must be hand washed and dried each time the machine is used.

Warranty claims due to inadequate maintenance will not be allowed.

122

Maintenance and Adjustment

Cleaning of the Exhaust System

All parts of the exhaust system of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance. These instructions can be applied to chrome, brushed stainless steel and carbon fibre components alike.

Note:

• The exhaust system must be cool before washing to prevent water spotting.

Washing

Prepare a mixture of cold water and mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a highly alkaline soap as commonly found at commercial car washes because it leaves a residue.

Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool. They will damage the finish.

Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.

Ensure no soap or water enters the mufflers.

Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far as possible with a soft cloth. Do not run the engine to dry the system or spotting will occur.

Protecting

When the exhaust system is dry, rub

'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect' into the surface.

Caution

The use of products containing silicone will cause discolouration of the chrome and must not be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners and polishes will damage the system and must not be used.

It is recommended that regular protection be applied to the system as this will both protect and enhance the system's appearance.

Storage

STORAGE

Preparation for Storage

Clean and dry the entire vehicle thoroughly.

Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade of unleaded fuel and add a fuel stabiliser (if available), following the fuel stabiliser manufacturer's instructions.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition switch off. Do not smoke.

Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Remove the spark plug from each cylinder and put several drops (5 cc) of engine oil into each cylinder. Cover the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth or rag. With the engine stop switch in the RUN position, push the starter button for a few seconds to coat the cylinder walls with oil. Install the spark plugs, tightening to 12 Nm.

Change the engine oil and filter (see page

79

).

Check and if necessary correct the tyre pressures (see page

106

).

Set the motorcycle on a stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. (If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep dampness away from the tyres.)

Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host of products on the market and your dealer will be able to offer you local advice) on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting.

Prevent oil from getting on rubber parts, brake discs or in the brake calipers.

Lubricate and if necessary adjust the drive chain (see page

90

).

Make sure the cooling system is filled with a

50% mixture of coolant (noting that HD4X

Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed and requires no dilution) and distilled water solution (see page

81

).

Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. During storage it should be given a slow charge (one ampere or less) about once every two weeks (see page

111

).

Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry area, away from sunlight, and with a minimum daily temperature variation.

Put a suitable porous cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it. Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathable, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
