The Motorcycle

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for onroad use only. It is not suitable for offroad 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

This motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic converter below the engine, which along with the exhaust system reaches very high temperature during engine operation.

Flammable materials such as grass, hay/straw, leaves, clothing and luggage etc. could ignite if allowed to come into contact with any part of the exhaust system and catalytic converter.

Always make sure that flammable materials are not allowed to contact the exhaust system or catalytic converter.

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.

The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit stated in the Specifications section.

Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Helmet and Clothing

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

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 the motorcycle in the open air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger (on models where carrying a passenger is permitted) must always wear appropriate clothing including a motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers

(close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.

During off-road use (on models suitable for off-road use), the rider must always wear appropriate clothing including trousers and boots.

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.

8

Safety First

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.

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

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.

9

Safety First

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.

Handlebars and Footrests

Warning

The rider must maintain control of the motorcycle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times.

The handling and stability of a motorcycle will be adversely affected if the rider removes their hands from the handlebars, resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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.

Warning

The rider and passenger (if applicable) must always use the footrests provided, during operation of the motorcycle.

By using the footrests, both rider and passenger will reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with any motorcycle components and will also reduce the risk of injury from entrapment of clothing.

Warning

The bank angle indicators must not be used as a guide to how far the motorcycle may be safely banked.

This depends on many various conditions including, but not limited to, road surface, tyre condition and weather. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

10

Safety First

Warning

Always replace the bank angle indicators before they are worn to their maximum limit.

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

Maintenance and 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

When banking and the bank angle indicator, attached to the rider's footrest, makes contact with the ground, the motorcycle is nearing its bank angle limit. A further increase of the banking angle is unsafe.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Make sure 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.

1. Bank angle indicator

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.

11

Safety First

Parking

Warning

Always switch 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.

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.

Parts and Accessories

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.

Riding Modes

The riding modes allow adjustment of the throttle response (MAP), Anti-lock

Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control

(TC) settings to suit differing road conditions and rider preferences. Riding modes are available depending on the motorcycle model’s specification.

Riding modes can be conveniently selected using the MODE button and joystick located on the left hand switch housing, whilst the motorcycle is stationary or moving.

Each riding mode is adjustable.

Availability of the ABS, MAP and TC setting options vary between models.

For more information, see page 43. If

a riding mode is edited (other than the

Rider mode), the icon will change as shown below.

Riding Mode Selection

Warning

The selection of riding modes whilst the motorcycle is in motion requires the rider to allow the motorcycle to coast (motorcycle moving, engine running, throttle closed and no brakes applied) for a brief period of time.

Riding mode selection whilst the motorcycle is in motion should only be attempted:

- At low speed

- In traffic-free areas

-

Description

Road

Sport surfaces

- In good road and weather conditions

Where it is safe to allow the motorcycle to briefly coast.

Riding mode selection whilst the motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be attempted:

- At high speeds

- Whilst riding in traffic

- During cornering or on winding roads or surfaces

- On steeply inclined roads or surfaces

- In poor road/weather conditions

Where it is unsafe to allow the motorcycle to coast.

Failure to observe this important warning may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

32

Instruments

Warning

If traction control has been disabled in

the Main Menu as described on page 46

then settings saved for all riding modes will be overridden.

Traction control will remain off regardless of your riding mode selection until re-enabled, or the ignition has been switched off then on again, or the MODE button is held in to return to the default Road mode (which enables the traction control when the motorcycle is next stationary).

If the traction control is disabled, the motorcycle will handle as normal but without traction control. In this situation accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If the ABS is disabled, the brake system will function as a non-ABS equipped braking system. In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

After selecting a riding mode, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new settings.

Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the riding mode settings from the one you are familiar with, causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

To select a riding mode:

• Press and release the MODE button on the left hand switch housing to activate the riding mode information tray and riding mode selection panel.

• The currently active riding mode icon is shown in the centre of the instrument panel.

To change the selected riding mode:

• Either push the joystick left or right, or repeatedly press the MODE button until the required mode is shown in the centre of the display screen or highlighted in the riding mode selection panel.

Within 30 seconds of selecting a riding mode the rider must carry out the following simultaneously:

• Close the throttle.

• Make sure that the brakes are not engaged (allow the motorcycle to coast).

Note

It is not possible to switch into or out of

Rider mode whilst the motorcycle is in motion, if the ABS or TC settings are set to OFF in either of those modes.

In this case, the motorcycle must be brought to a stop before the riding mode change can take place.

If a riding mode change is not completed, the icon will alternate between the previous riding mode and the newly selected riding mode until the change is complete or it is cancelled.

The riding mode selection is now complete and normal riding can be resumed.

General Information

Traction Control (TC)

Warning

The traction control and optimised cornering traction control systems are not a substitute for riding appropriately for the prevailing surface and weather conditions.

The systems cannot prevent loss of traction due to:

- excessive speed when entering turns

- accelerating at a sharp lean angle

- braking.

Traction control or optimised cornering traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from slipping.

Failure to observe any of the above may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

All motorcycles are equipped with

Traction Control (TC). Traction control is a system that helps to maintain traction when accelerating on wet/slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is losing traction (slipping), the traction control system will engage and alter the engine power until traction to the rear wheel has been restored.

The traction control indicator light will flash while it is engaged and there may be a change to the sound of the engine.

Optimised Cornering Traction

Control

Warning

After riding off-road with traction control disabled, always make sure that the traction control is enabled when returning to ride on public roads.

Riding on public roads with the traction control disabled may, if accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces, cause the rear wheel to slip resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If the Traction Control (TC) system is not functioning, care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.

In the event of a fault, the TC disabled warning light may be accompanied by the engine management system malfunction indicator light and/or the

ABS warning light.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

73

General Information

Warning

If a fault occurs with the optimised cornering traction control system, the

Traction Control (TC) disabled warning light will illuminate and a message will be shown in the display.

In this situation, the TC system will continue to operate but without the optimised cornering function, provided that:

- There are no other faults with the TC system.

Optimised cornering traction control is a system designed to give the rider increased control should the traction control be activated whilst the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.

The system constantly monitors the lean angle of the motorcycle and adapts the level of traction control intervention to maintain rear wheel traction during cornering.

For full details of the TC disabled warning light operation and its associated instrument warning

messages, see page 27.

the rider (see the Riding Modes

Configuration section)

Care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.

In the event of a fault, the TC disabled warning light may be accompanied by the engine management system malfunction indicator light and/or the

ABS warning light.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Traction Control Settings

Warning

If the traction control is disabled, the motorcycle will handle as normal but without traction control.

In this situation accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

The TC system can be disabled as

described in Bike Setup on page 46, or

set to the conditions described in Riding

Mode Configuration on page 43.

Note

Optimised traction control may not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system. In this situation, the warning lights for the ABS, TC and the

MIL may be illuminated.

General Information

Tyre Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) (if fitted)

Warning

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

Monitoring System (TPMS).

Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold using an accurate tyre pressure gauge, see the Tyre section for more information.

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. The sensors will not transmit data until the motorcycle reaches a speed of approximately

12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be visible in the system display until the tyre pressure signal is received.

After bring the motorcycle to a stop, the sensors continue to transmit data for approximately seven minutes before switching off. The tyre pressure values remain visible in the system display until the sensors switch off.

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

Note

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) is available as an accessory kit.

It must be fitted by your authorised

Triumph dealer.

The TPMS display on the instruments will only be activated when the system has been fitted.

Tyre Pressure Sensor Serial Number

The serial number for the tyre pressure sensor is printed on a label attached to the sensor. This number may be required by your authorised Triumph dealer for service or diagnostics.

When the tyre pressure monitoring system is being fitted to the motorcycle, make sure that your authorised Triumph dealer records the serial numbers of the front and rear tyre pressure sensors in the spaces provided below.

Front Tyre Pressure Sensor

The tyre pressure at which the warning light illuminates is temperature compensated to 20°C but the numeric pressure display associated with it is not. Even if the numeric display seems at or close to the standard tyre pressure when the warning light is on, a low tyre pressure is indicated and a puncture is the most likely cause.

Warning

Stop the motorcycle if the tyre pressure warning light illuminates.

Do not ride the motorcycle until the tyres have been checked and the tyre pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.

The information display will automatically switch to the tyre pressure display when a low tyre pressure is detected.

TPMS System Fault

If a fault occurs with the TPMS system, the TPMS warning light will be illuminated red to indicate that the system can't show the pressure or the pressure is low. If the TPMS warning light illuminates amber then that indicates that the battery is low but the pressure is available. A message will also be shown in the information tray.

Contact your authorised Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

Tyre Pressures

Warning

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) 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 using an accurate tyre pressure gauge.

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

Caution

Do not use anti puncture fluid or any other item likely to obstruct air flow to the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any blockage to the air pressure orifice of the TPMS sensor during operation will cause the sensor to become blocked, causing irreparable damage to the

TPMS sensor assembly.

Damage caused by the use of anti puncture fluid or incorrect maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.

Always have your tyres fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer and inform them that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels.

The tyre pressures shown on the instrument display indicate the actual tyre pressure at the time of selecting the TPMS. 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 inflation pressure to increase. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.

Only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold using an accurate tyre

pressure gauge (see page 141), and do

not use the tyre pressure shown on the instrument display.

General Information

Low Tyre Pressure

Warning

Stop the motorcycle if the tyre pressure warning light illuminates.

Do not ride the motorcycle until the tyres have been checked and the tyre pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.

Fuel Grade

Triumph motorcycles are designed to use unleaded fuel and will give optimum performance if the correct grade of fuel is used. Always use unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 95 RON.

Ethanol

In Europe, Triumph motorcycles are compatible with Ethanol E5 and E10 (5% and 10% Ethanol) unleaded fuel.

In all other markets Ethanol up to E25

(25% Ethanol) may be used.

Engine Calibration

In certain circumstances engine calibration may be required. Always refer to your authorised Triumph dealer.

78

General Information

Caution

The motorcycle can be permanently damaged if it is allowed to operate with the incorrect grade of fuel or incorrect engine calibration.

Always make sure the fuel used is of the correct grade and quality.

Damage caused by using the incorrect fuel or engine calibration is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.

Caution

The exhaust system for this motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels.

Use of leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter. In addition, 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 make sure you have adequate fuel for your journey.

Refuelling

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.

the fuel filler cap is correctly closed.

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.

Note

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some countries, states or territories.

General Information

Running-In

R.P.M.

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 600 miles (1000 km):

• 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 speed.

Both during and after running-in has been completed:

• Do not overrev 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.

1,500 km):

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

94

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 the motorcycle in the open air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Moving Off

To move the motorcycle:

• 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

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.

Note

A transponder is fitted within the key to turn off the engine immobiliser.

Only have one of the ignition keys near the ignition switch. Two ignition keys near the ignition switch may interrupt the signal between the transponder and the engine immobiliser.

In this situation the engine immobiliser will remain active until one of the ignition keys is removed.

95

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Changing Gears

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.

To change gears:

• 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.

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.

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.

Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) (if fitted)

Caution

Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) is optimised for on road use only.

It must not be used during off road or track riding.

1

1. Gear change pedal

Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) adjusts the engine torque to allow gears to engage, without closure of the throttle twist grip or operation of the clutch.

This feature works for both up shifts and down shifts of gear.

The clutch must be used for stopping and pulling away.

TSA will not operate if:

• The clutch is applied.

• An up shift is attempted by mistake when in 6th gear.

• A down shift is attempted by mistake when in 1st gear.

96

How to Ride the Motorcycle

• An up shift is attempted at very low engine speeds.

• A down shift is attempted at very high engine speeds.

• The vehicle speed limiter is active.

• Cruise control is active.

TSA will be disabled when riding, if a TSA system malfunction is present.

Use a positive pedal force and release your foot from the gear lever between gear changes to make sure there is a smooth gear change.

For more information on enabling and disabling the TSA functionality, see

page 47.

Braking

All motorcycle models are equipped with a partially integrated braking system, combined with the Anti-lock Braking

System (ABS). This increases the braking efficiency when riding the motorcycle.

When the front brake is applied, a small amount of rear brake is also applied, allowing for balanced braking.

The amount of rear brake application is related to the level of braking force applied by the rider through the front brake lever. Use of the rear brake pedal alone will only apply the rear brake.

97

How to Ride the Motorcycle

For full brake effectiveness, always operate the front brake lever and rear brake pedal together.

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1

1. Front brake lever 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.

1 may cause loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident.

1. Rear brake pedal

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 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.

98

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

(see ABS warnings below).

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

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 leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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.

Warning

When descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down changing and use both front and rear brakes intermittently.

Continuous brake application or use of the rear brake only can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

When using the motorcycle on loose, wet, or muddy roads, braking effectiveness will be reduced by dust, mud or moisture collecting on the brakes.

Always brake earlier in these conditions to make sure that brake surfaces are cleaned by the braking action.

Riding the motorcycle with brakes contaminated with dust, mud or moisture may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

99

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Caution

Due to the nature of the partially integrated braking system, any attempts to spin the rear wheel whilst the front brake is applied (Burnout) will cause damage to the braking system and drivetrain.

Anti-lock Braking System

(ABS)

Warning

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.

100

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS equipped brake system.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning 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 motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

After riding off-road with ABS disabled, always make sure that the

ABS is enabled when returning to ride on public roads.

Riding on public roads with the ABS disabled will, if braking too hard, cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Note

The ABS operation may feel like a harder pedal pressure or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.

The ABS is not an integrated braking system and does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time so 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.

Optimised Cornering ABS

The optimised cornering Anti-lock

Braking System (ABS) is a system that provides increased control if the ABS is activated when leaning in a corner whilst riding the motorcycle.

A sensor constantly monitors the lean angle of the motorcycle. If the motorcycle is leaning in a corner and the ABS is activated, the system will use the lean angle measurement to apply the ABS in a suitable method to assist the rider to maintain motorcycle control.

Warning

The optimised cornering ABS is a system designed to assist the rider in emergency braking situations.

The system is designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated whilst the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.

The potential increased control that the optimised cornering braking system allows under certain conditions is not a substitute for good riding practice.

101

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

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

Take care when cornering.

If the motorcycle is leaning in a corner and the ABS is activated, the optimised cornering ABS will use the lean angle measurement from a sensor to apply the ABS in a suitable method to assist the rider to maintain motorcycle control. The optimised cornering ABS will not however be able to fully counteract the weight and momentum of the motorcycle and braking too hard whilst cornering may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

ABS, or an equivalent motorcycle equipped with ABS but not equipped with optimised cornering ABS.

Warning

If the optimised cornering ABS is not functioning, the ABS warning light will illuminate and a warning message is shown in the display.

In this situation, the ABS will continue to operate but without the optimised cornering function, provided that:

- There are no other ABS faults

- The ABS has not been disabled by the rider.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated. In the event of a fault, contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

In this situation, braking too hard during cornering may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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.

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

ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

If the ABS warning light becomes illuminated while riding, it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation. A warning message may be shown in the display.

102

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminate after three minutes, if the rear wheel is driven while the motorcycle is on a stand.

If the motorcycle was ridden prior to being placed on a stand, this time will reduced to one minute and the ABS warning light will be accompanied by the MIL.

This reaction is normal.

When the ignition is switched off and the motorcycle is restarted, the warning light(s) will remain illuminated until the motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).

Warning

The ABS system 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.

Hill Hold Control

Hill hold control assists the rider in making hill starts. The system (when activated) will apply the rear brake to hold the motorcycle in position.

The system will then automatically deactivate and release the rear brake when it detects that the rider is attempting to move off.

Warning

Avoid activating the hill hold control system on slippery surfaces.

The hill hold control system will not be able to prevent the motorcycle from slipping, if it is activated on a surface where there is insufficient levels of tyre grip to hold the motorcycle in position.

Activating the hill hold control system on a slippery surface could cause the motorcycle to slip, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

103

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

The hill hold control system will deactivate if the side stand is moved to the down position, the ignition is switched off, the engine stop switch is moved to the STOP position or if the engine is stopped for any other reason.

The hill hold control system will also deactivate if a fault occurs which causes the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) to illuminate.

In these circumstances, the front brake must be manually applied to prevent the motorcycle from rolling.

Failure to prevent the motorcycle from rolling may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

The hill hold control system is not designed to be used as a parking brake.

Do not continually activate the hill hold system for periods of longer than

10 minutes.

Continuous activation of the hill hold control system for periods of longer than 10 minutes may cause damage to the ABS system.

Activation

The following conditions must be met before hill hold control can be activated:

• The engine must be running

• The side stand must be in the up position

• The motorcycle must be stationary.

When all of the above conditions are met, complete the following:

• Squeeze the front brake lever firmly and quickly, then release.

• Upon releasing the lever, a message is shown in the display and the hill hold warning light is shown in green.

The hill hold control system is now active and the rear brake will be automatically applied.

• The message will remain shown in the display and the hill hold warning light will remain green until hill hold control is deactivated.

• The rear brake will remain applied until the system detects that the rider is attempting to move off, or hill hold control is manually deactivated by the rider.

Note

The hill hold control system will not operate if there is a fault with the ABS or engine management systems and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated.

Deactivation

The hill hold control system will automatically deactivate when it detects that the rider is attempting to move off.

The system will progressively release the rear brake to assist the rider in moving off.

The hill hold control system can also be manually deactivated by a second firm squeeze of the front brake lever. A message is shown briefly in the display and the hill hold warning light is then shown in amber.

104

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Hill Hold Unavailable

If when attempting to activate the hill hold control system, the amber hill hold unavailable warning light is shown, this indicates one or more of the following:

Parking

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions.

• The activation conditions described

on page 104 have not been met.

• There is a fault with the ABS or engine management systems and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated. For more information, see the Warning Lights

section on page 25.

A hill hold unavailable warning message is also shown in the display.

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.

The hill hold control system can be

enabled or disabled (see page 47).

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.

105

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

Do not park on a soft or steeply inclined surface.

Parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over causing damage to property and personal injury.

• 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.

To park the motorcycle:

• 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. This is particularly important when parking off-road.

• 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.

106

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Considerations for High

Speed Operation

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

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

Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course onroad 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

The items listed below 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

Make sure that 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. Make sure that the control cables do not restrict the steering in any way.

Luggage

Make sure that any luggage containers are closed, locked and securely fitted to the motorcycle.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning properly.

107

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Tyres Final Drive Oil

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.

Make sure that the final drive oil level is correct. Make sure that the correct grade and type of oil is used when topping up.

Coolant

Check that the coolant level is between the minimum and maximum levels in the expansion tank. Always check the level with the engine cold.

Electrical Equipment

Fuel

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

Make sure that the headlight, rear/ brake light, direction indicators, horn, etc. all work properly.

Miscellaneous

Caution Visually check that all fixings are tight.

In many countries, the exhaust system for this model 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 make sure you have adequate fuel for your journey.

Engine Oil

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

108

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

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.

Accessories

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, visibility in any direction, or any other aspect of the motorcycle's operation.

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 nonapproved personnel.

109

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

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 motorcycle control and an accident.

When riding at high speed, always be aware that various motorcycle configuration and environmental factors can adversely affect the stability of your motorcycle. For example:

Loading

sides of the motorcycle

- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings

- Incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures

- Excessively or unevenly worn tyres

Side winds and turbulence from other vehicles

- Loose clothing.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to an accident.

Always make sure that any loads carried are evenly distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Make sure that the load is correctly secured so that it will not move around while the motorcycle is in motion.

Evenly distribute the load within each pannier (if fitted). Pack heavy items at the bottom and on the inboard side of the pannier.

Always check the load security regularly (though not while the motorcycle is in motion) and make sure that the load does not extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the maximum vehicle loading weight as specified in the

Specifications section.

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

For models that have adjustable suspension settings, make sure that front and rear spring preload and damping settings are suitable for the loading condition of the motorcycle.

Note the maximum permissible payload for the panniers is stated on a label inside the pannier.

110

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

Never attempt to store any items between the frame and the fuel tank.

This can restrict the steering and will cause loss of control leading to an accident.

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

Warning

The maximum safe load for each pannier is stated on a label inside the pannier.

Never exceed this loading limit as this may cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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

5 kg (11 lbs) 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.

Carrying objects in excess of 5 kg

(11 lbs) 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 passenger seat, the maximum speed of the motorcycle must be reduced to 80 mph (130 km/h).

Note

Adjust the headlight aim to compensate

for additional loads (page 151).

111

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Passengers

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

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: sits still while the motorcycle is in motion and does not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle.

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 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

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.

Maintenance

Engine Oil

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 sudden loss of motorcycle control and 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.

Engine Oil Level Inspection

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 the motorcycle in the open air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Warning

If the engine has recently been running, the exhaust system will be hot.

Before working on or near the exhaust system, allow sufficient time for the exhaust system to cool as touching any part of a hot exhaust system could cause burn injuries.

Caution

Never check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is hot.

Any attempt to check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is hot may result in insufficient engine oil causing engine damage.

Always check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is cold.

Caution

Running the engine with insufficient engine oil will cause engine damage.

If the low oil pressure indicator remains on, stop the engine immediately and investigate the situation.

119

Maintenance

Note

An accurate indication of the level of oil in the engine is only shown when the engine is cold and the motorcycle is on the side stand.

This method of checking the engine oil is especially important to make sure the oil volume is distributed correctly because this model has a dry sump engine.

Failure to follow this method will result in an inaccurate indication of oil in the engine.

To inspect the engine oil level:

• Make sure the engine is cold.

• Start the engine and run at idle for

60 - 90 seconds.

Note

Do not operate the throttle while the engine is at idle. This will give an inaccurate oil level on the engine oil dipstick.

• Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes to allow the oil to settle.

• Turn the oil filler cap anticlockwise and remove it.

• After the engine oil has completely drained out, fit a new sealing washer to the three sump plugs.

• Fit and tighten the sump plugs to

25 Nm.

Note

An accurate indication of the level of oil in the engine is only shown when the engine is cold and the motorcycle is on the side stand.

This method of checking the engine oil is especially important to make sure the oil volume is distributed correctly because this model has a dry sump engine.

Failure to follow this method will result in an inaccurate indication of oil in the engine.

• Using a suitable funnel, fill the engine with 4.6 litres of new semi or fully synthetic 15W/50 motorcycle engine oil which meets specification

API SH (or higher) and JSO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 4T.

• Fit the dipstick, start the engine and allow it to idle for a 60 to 90 seconds.

Note

Do not operate the throttle while the engine is at idle. This will give an inaccurate oil level on the engine oil dipstick.

• Make sure that the low oil pressure warning light remains off after starting and a warning message is not shown in the display screen.

• Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes to allow the oil to settle. Add the recommended engine oil, a little at a time, up to the maximum mark on the engine oil dipstick.

122

Maintenance

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 60 seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.

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.

Engine Oil Specification and Grade

(15W/50)

This models high performance fuel injected engine is designed to use 15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO

MA, such as Castrol Power 1 4T

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, nondetergent oil, castor based oils or any oil not conforming to the required specification. The use of these oils may cause instant, severe engine damage.

Make sure that no foreign matter enters the crankcase during an engine oil change or top up.

1. Brake pads

2. Minimum thickness line

Brake pads must be inspected in accordance with scheduled requirements and replaced if worn to, or beyond the minimum service thickness.

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.

129

Maintenance

Breaking-in New Brake Discs and

Pads

During the breaking-in period, avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and allow for greater braking distances.

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

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.

Warning

Brake pad wear will be increased if the motorcycle is used frequently offroad. Always inspect the brake pads more frequently if the motorcycle is used off-road, and replace the brake pads before they become worn to, or beyond the minimum service thickness.

Riding with worn brake pads may reduce braking efficiency, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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.

Triumph recommend a period of careful breaking-in for new brake discs and pads that, if followed correctly, will optimise their performance and longevity.

The recommended distance for breaking-in new brake discs and pads is

200 miles (300 km).

130

Maintenance

Disc Brake Fluid

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.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS equipped brake system.

In this situation, braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of control and an accident.

Reduce speed and 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.

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.

Note

A special tool is required to bleed the

ABS braking system. Contact your authorised Triumph dealer when the brake fluid needs renewing or the hydraulic system requires maintenance.

Tyres cboa

This model is equipped with tubeless tyres, valves and wheel rims. Use only tyres marked TUBELESS and tubeless valves on rims marked SUITABLE FOR

TUBELESS TYRES.

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 motorcycle 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 motorcycle control and an accident.

Maintenance

Tyre Inflation Pressures

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.

Overinflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.

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

Caution

Do not use anti puncture fluid or any other item likely to obstruct air flow to the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any blockage to the air pressure orifice of the TPMS sensor during operation will cause the sensor to become blocked, causing irreparable damage to the

TPMS sensor assembly.

Damage caused by the use of anti puncture fluid or incorrect maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.

Always have your tyres fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer and inform them that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels.

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.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) (if fitted)

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.

The tyre pressures shown on your instruments 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.

Only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold using an accurate pressure gauge. Do not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.

141

Maintenance

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 and inner tubes (if installed) fitted in approved combinations, are used when purchasing replacement items. The use of non-approved tyres and inner tubes, or approved tyres and inner tubes in non-approved combinations, may lead to motorcycle instability, loss of control and an accident.

A list of approved tyres and inner tubes specific to your motorcycle are available from your authorised Triumph dealer, or

Always have tyres and inner tubes fitted and balanced by your authorised

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

When replacement tyres or inner tubes are required, consult your authorised

Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tyres and inner tubes to be selected, in a correct combination, from the approved list and fitted according to the tyre and inner tube manufacturer's instructions.

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

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

Rectification must be carried out as necessary. The same checks and adjustments must also be carried out travelled after fitting.

Warning

Inner tubes must only be used on motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.

Some brands of approved tyres marked 'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use with an inner tube. Where this is the case, the tyre wall will be marked with text permitting the fitment of an inner tube.

Use of an inner tube with a tyre marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked as suitable for use with an inner tube, or use of an inner tube on an alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE FOR

TUBELESS TYRES' will cause deflation of the tyre resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

142

Maintenance

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 motorcycle control and an accident.

Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tyre without the appropriate marking. This will cause friction inside the tyre and the resulting heat buildup may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If a tyre or inner tube sustains a puncture, the tyre and inner tube must be replaced.

Failure to replace a punctured tyre and inner tube, or operation with a repaired tyre or inner tube can lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control or 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.

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

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

Warning

The ABS system 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 motorcycle control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.

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 or inner tube replacement, see your authorised

Triumph dealer.

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

143

Maintenance

Warning

Tyres and inner tubes 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 and inner tubes must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tyre or inner tube may lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tyre problems occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is recommended that tyres are changed before they are worn to their minimum tread depth.

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 80 mph

(130 km/h)

Over 80 mph

(130 km/h)

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

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

147

Maintenance

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.

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.

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.

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.

Battery Charging

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.

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

Volts, the battery should be charged.

Warning

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.

148

Maintenance

Caution

Do not use an automotive quick charger as it may overcharge and damage the battery.

For help with selecting a battery charger, checking the battery voltage or battery charging, contact your local authorised Triumph dealer.

Should the battery voltage fall below

12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged using a Triumph approved battery charger. Always remove the battery from the motorcycle and follow the instructions supplied with the battery charger.

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.

• Refit the fuse box to the side of the battery box.

• Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.

• Apply a light coat of grease to the terminals to prevent corrosion.

• Cover the positive terminal with the protective cap.

• Refit the battery strap.

• Refit the rider's seat.

Battery Installation

Warning
