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.

A

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.

A

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.

A

WARNING: This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his 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 185 kg (407 Ibs).

A

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 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.

Safety First

A

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:-

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.

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 loss of control and an accident.

Riding when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is illegal.

A

WARNING:

GRINDING OF

MAGNESIUM ALLOY PARTS

A

WARNING:

Always ride defensively and wear the protective equipment mentioned elsewhere in this foreword.

R e m e m b e r , i n a n a c c i d e n t , a motorcycle does not give the same impact protection as a car.

Page 5

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

CAUTION: Do not operate the starter continuously for more than 5 seconds as the starter motor will overheat and battery power will drop. 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.

NOTE:

l l

If the engine is flooded, crank the engine over, with the throttle fully open.

The motorcycle is equipped with starter lockout switches.

The switches prevent the electric starter from operating when the c l u t c h i s e n g a g e d a n d t h e transmission is not in neutral.

A

CAUTION: The low oil pressure warning light should go out as soon as 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.

MOVING OFF

l

Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear. Open the throttle slightly 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.

1. Gear Change Pedal

CHANGING GEARS

l

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

NOTE:

clutch lever. Always use the clutch when changing gear.

.

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.

A

WARNING: Do not change to a lower gear at speeds which 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 below 5000 rpm (r/min) for each gear.

Page 29


1. Front Brake Lever

BRAKING

A

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.

1. Rear Brake Pedal

A

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.

Triumph strongly recommend 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.

Page 30


A

WARNING: For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking, 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.

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.

A

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 drivers. It may also overheat the brake, reducing braking effectiveness.

Do not coast with the engine switched off, and do not tow the motorcycle.

T h e t r a n s m i s s i o n i s pressurelubricated 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.

Page 31


PARKING

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

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.

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park with the motorcycle leaning towards the sidestand and engage first gear to prevent the motorcycle from moving.

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

Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

NOTE:

l

When parking near traffic at night, leave the tail, licence plate and side lights on by turning the ignition switch to P (Park).

.

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

A

WARNING: Do not park on a soft or on a steeply inclined surface as parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over. Ensure that the stand is fully retracted before riding off.

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.

The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians and children are likely to touch the motorcycle as touching any of the hot parts may cause unprotected skin to become burnt.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION

A

WARNING: motorcycle

This Triumph s h o u l d b e operated within the legal speed limits

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning properly.

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.

Only operate this

Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed course race tracks.

A

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.

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.

Tyres

High speed operation is hard on tyres, and good tyres are crucial for 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 maintenance and specification sections on tyre checking and tyre safety.

1

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the higher consumption experienced during high speed operation.

A

WARNING: characteristics

The handling 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.

Engine Oil

Make certain that the oil level is visible mid-way up the sight glass. 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 level with engine cold).

Electrical Equipment

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

Miscellaneous

Make certain that all fixings are tight and that all safety related parts are in good condition.

Page 3 3

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

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,

A

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 185 Kg (407 Ibs).

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

A

WARNING:

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

A

WARNING: Never ride an accessory equipped motorcycle at speeds above 130km/h

(80mph).

The presence of accessories 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 130km/h (8Omph) limit will be reduced by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

authorised closed course conditions.

A

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.

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

Page 34

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

A

WARNING:

Single seat models must never carry a passenger unless a passenger seat is fitted. Carrying a passenger without first fitting a passenger seat will contravene the law and may also cause loss of motorcycle control leading to an accident.

A

WARNING: Your passenger should be thoroughly familiar with motorcycle operation.

The passenger can cause loss of control of the motorcycle by incorrect positioning during cornering and sudden movements.

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

If a passenger is carried, the rider should instruct the passenger 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.

The passenger should also be advised to lean with the rider when travelling in corners and not to lean unless the rider does so.

Do not carry animals on your motorcycle.

A

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.

A

WARNING: Never attempt to store any items between the frame and the fairing. This can restrict the steering and will cause loss of control leading to an accident,

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

In order for the engine, transmission, and clutch to function correctly, maintain the engine oil at the correct level, and change the oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

A

WARNING: Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated engine wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure. Seizure of the engine or transmission may lead to loss of control and an accident.

I

Oil Level Inspection

l

Stop engine, then wait for at least

10 minutes to allow the oil to settle.

l

NOTE:

The oil level is indicated by a sight glass situated at the bottom of the clutch cover on the right hand side of the motorcycle. When the oil level is correct, the level of oil should be between the two lines marked on the clutch cover to the right of the sight glass.

The actual level is indicated when the motorcycle is level and upright, not on the side stand.

If the oil level is too low, remove the plug situated in the upper rear side of the clutch cover.

Add oil, a little at a time, until the oil begins to show in the sight glass.

Then adjust to the correct level and refit the plug.

l

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

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.

l

Stop the engine and check the oil level. Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil

To protect the environment, do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water courses. Dispose of used oil sensibly. If in doubt contact your local authority.

A

CAUTION: Triumph high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use semi or fully synthetic 10W/40 motorcycle engine oil which meets specification

API SH.

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.

Ensure no foreign matter enters the crankcase during an oil change or top-up.

Page 43


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.

Corrosion Inhibitors

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

If coolant containing corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals 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.

A

WARNING: Use coolant mixture containing corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitable for aluminium engines and radiators.

Always use the anti-freeze in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.

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

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by an authorised

Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Radiator 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.

CAUTION: A permanent type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system when the motorcycle leaves the factory. It is coloured blue, contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of

-35°C (-31 *F

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

l

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

l

Remove the seat.

l

Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. The coolant level must be between the ‘MAX’ and ‘MIN’ marks.

l

If the level of coolant is too low, remove the cap from the expansion tank, and add coolant mixture through the filler opening to the ‘MAX’ mark. Refit the cap.

NOTE

l

If the coolant level is being checked because the coolant has overheated, also check the level in t h e r a d i a t o r a n d t o p - u p i f necessary.

l

In an emergency, water alone can be added to the cooling system.

However, the coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ratio as soon as possible.

A

CAUTION:

Distilled water m u s t b e u s e d w i t h t h e antifreeze (see specification for antifreeze) in the cooling system.

If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system.

If coolant must be added often, or the expansion tank runs dry, there is probably a leak in the system. Have the cooling system inspected by your authorised Triumph dealer.

If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear brakes) is less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), that is, if the pad has worn down to the bottom of the grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.

A

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.

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.

A

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.

Typical Tyre Marking

TYRES

This motorcycle is equipped with tubeless tyres, valves and wheel rims. Use only tyres marked ‘TUBELESS’ and tubeless valves on rims marked ‘SUITABLE

FOR TUBELESS TYRES’.

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.

Wheel Marking

A

WARNING:

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems which 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.

Page 58


Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread k!!??@!

wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is estimated that

90% of all tyre failures occur during the last

10% of tread life (90% worn). It is, therefore, false economy and unsafe to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.

l

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 the minimum allowable tread depth.

Minimum Recommended Tread Depth

A

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.

W h e n t u b e l e s s t y r e s b e c o m e punctured, leakage is often very slow.

Always inspect tyres very closely for punctures. Check the tyres for cuts, imbedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tyres will adversely affect 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 control or an accident could result.

Always consult your authorised

Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

A

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

Page 59


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 each 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. 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.

repaired tyre can lead to instability,

A

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 head build-up may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of vehicle control and an accident.

A

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.

A

WARNING: replacement tyres

When 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 fined 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.

Page 60


A

WARNING (continued from previous page): 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.

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.

A

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.

A

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.

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 a month.

Keep the battery well charged during cold weather so that the electrolyte does not freeze and crack the battery.

The more discharged the battery becomes, the more easily it freezes.

l l

Tie plastic bags over the exhaust pipe to prevent moisture from entering.

Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it.

Preparation after Storage:

Check the electrolyte level in the battery, c h a r g e t h e b a t t e r y i f necessary, and install it in the motorcycle.

Be careful that the battery vent hose is not pinched and that it is routed as shown on the label.

Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

Change the engine oil and filter.

Check all the points listed in the Daily

Safety Checks section.

Before starting the engine, remove spark plugs.

Put side stand down. This will isolate the ignition and prevent stray sparks and damage to the ignition system.

Crank the engine on the starter motor several times until the oil pressure light goes out.

Replace spark plugs and start engine.

Check brakes and operation.
