The Motorcycle
Warning
Tiger 900 GT (LRH) (Low Ride Height
Model)
The Tiger 900 GT (LRH) motorcycle is equipped with lowered suspension and has reduced ground clearance.
As a result, the cornering banking angles that can be achieved by the
Tiger 900 GT (LRH) is reduced, when compared with the standard ride height Tiger 900 GT model.
When riding, it is important to remember that your motorcycle’s ground clearance is limited. Operate your motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the motorcycle’s ground clearance and bank angle limitations.
Banking to an unsafe angle or unexpected contact with the ground may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The motorcycles are designed for onroad and light off-road use. Light offroad use includes use on unpaved, dirt or gravel roads, but does not include riding on any motocross course, any off-road competition (such as motocross or enduro riding), or riding off-road with a passenger.
Light off-road use does not include jumping the motorcycle or riding over obstacles. Do not attempt to jump over any bumps or obstacles. Do not attempt to ride over any obstacles.
Extreme off-road use could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on their 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 as stated in the Specifications section.
7
Safety First
Warning
This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be equipped with a sidecar.
Installing a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident.
Warning
This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter below the engine, which along with the exhaust system reaches a 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 flammable materials are not allowed to contact the exhaust system or catalytic converter.
Caution
Riding the motorcycle in extreme conditions such as wet and muddy roads, on rough terrain or in dusty and humid environments, may lead to above average wear and damage of certain components.
Therefore the servicing and replacement of worn or damaged components may be necessary before the scheduled maintenance service is reached.
It is important that the motorcycle is inspected after riding in extreme conditions and any worn or damaged components are serviced or replaced.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle off-road may result in loosening of the spokes.
Make sure that the spokes are checked before and after riding the motorcycle off-road. Tighten any loose spokes and check for wheel rim damage.
Spokes that are loose may affect handling and stability resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Check the wheel rims and spokes regularly for wear and damage.
Check spoke tension at all intervals listed in the maintenance schedule.
Tighten any loose spokes.
Incorrectly tightened spokes may affect handling and stability resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Safety First
Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Helmet and Clothing
Warning
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when refueling.
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 gasoline on the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when refueling.
If gasoline 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 gasoline should immediately be removed.
Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with gasoline.
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 colored jacket.
During off-road use (on models suitable for off-road use), the rider must always wear appropriate clothing including trousers and boots.
Brightly colored 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.
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.
9
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 colored 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.
When choosing a helmet, always look for a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker indicating that the helmet has DOT approval. Do not buy a helmet without
DOT approval.
Warning
All riders must be licensed to operate the motorcycle.
Operation of the motorcycle without a license is illegal and could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without formal training in the correct riding techniques that are necessary to become licensed 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.
10
Safety First
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road traveled.
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
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.
Wobble/Weave
A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of the rear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is a rapid, possibly strong shaking of the handlebar. These are related but distinct stability problems usually caused by excessive weight in the wrong place, or by a mechanical problem such as worn or loose bearings or under-inflated or unevenly worn tires.
Your solution to both situations is the same. Keep a firm hold on the handlebars without locking arms or fighting the steering. Smoothly ease off the throttle to slow gradually. Do not apply the brakes, and do not accelerate to try to stop the wobble or weave. In some cases, it helps to shift your body weight forward by leaning over the tank.

Safety First
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
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.
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
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
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, tire condition and weather. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Description
Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The selection of riding modes while the motorcycle is in motion requires the rider to allow the motorcycle to coast
(motorcycle moving, engine running, throttle closed, clutch lever pulled in and no brakes applied) for a brief period of time.
Riding mode selection while the motorcycle is in motion should only be attempted:
- At low speed
- In traffic free areas
RAIN
ROAD
SPORT
OFF-ROAD
OFF-ROAD PRO surfaces
- In good road and weather conditions
Where it is safe to allow the motorcycle to briefly coast.
Riding mode selection while the motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be attempted:
- At high speeds
- While riding in traffic
- During cornering or on winding roads or surfaces
- On steeply inclined roads or surfaces
- In poor road/weather conditions

motorcycle to coast.
Failure to observe this important warning will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
50
General Information
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.
Warning
If Traction Control (TC) has been disabled in the Main Menu as
described on page 57 then all TC
settings that were saved for all riding modes will be overridden.
TC will remain off regardless of the riding mode selection, until it has been re-enabled or the ignition has been switched off then on again.
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.
Note
The riding mode will default to ROAD when the ignition is switched ON, if the
OFF-ROAD, OFF-ROAD PRO or RIDER mode was active the last time the ignition was switched OFF with TC set to
OFF-ROAD, OFF-ROAD PRO or OFF in the required mode.
A warning message is shown stating that the riding mode has changed. It also briefly allows the riding mode to be changed back to the original riding mode.
Otherwise, the last selected riding mode will be remembered and activated when the ignition is switched ON.
If the mode icons are not shown when the ignition switch is in the ON position, make sure that the engine stop switch is in the RUN position.

Traction Control (TC)
Warning
The traction control and optimized 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 optimized 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.
73
General Information
Warning
If the traction control 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 traction control 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 authorized 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.
Note
Traction control may not always be active depending on the riding mode selected.
Traction control and optimized cornering traction control (if equipped) may not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system. In this situation, the warning lights for the ABS, traction control and the MIL may be illuminated.
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 a change to the sound of the engine may be noticed.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) (if equipped)
Warning
The daily check of tire pressures must not be excluded because of the installation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold using an accurate tire pressure gage, see the Tire section for more information.
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tire pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Function
Tire pressure sensors are mounted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tire and transmit pressure data to the instruments. These sensors will not transmit the data until the motorcycle is traveling at a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be shown in the display area until the tire pressure signal is received.
An adhesive label will be mounted to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tire pressure sensor, which is near the valve.
76
General Information
Note
For all motorcycles models without the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) installed as standard, it is available as an accessory equipped item.
It must be installed by your authorized
Triumph dealer. The TPMS display on the instruments will only be activated when the system has been installed.
When the warning light is illuminated, the Tire Pressure display will show which tire is the deflated tire. It will also show the tire pressure.

numeric display seems at or close to the standard tire pressure when the warning light is on, a low tire pressure is indicated and a puncture is the most likely cause.
Tire Pressure Sensor Serial Number
The serial number for the tire pressure sensor is printed on a label attached to the sensor. This number may be required by your authorized Triumph dealer for service or diagnostics.
77
General Information
When the tire pressure monitoring system is being installed to the motorcycle, make sure that your authorized Triumph dealer records the serial numbers of the front and rear tire pressure sensors in the spaces provided below.
Front Tire Pressure Sensor
Rear Tire Pressure Sensor
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 tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors are installed on the wheels.
Tire Pressures
Warning
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is not to be used as a tire pressure gage when adjusting the tire pressures.
For correct tire pressures, always check the tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate tire pressure gage.
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tire pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
The tire pressures shown on the instrument panel indicate the actual tire pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tires are cold because tires become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tire to expand and the pressure to increase.
The cold inflation pressures specified by
Triumph take account of this.
Only adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate tire
pressure gage (see page 155), and do
not use the tire pressure display on the instruments.
Replacement Tires
When replacing tires, always have an authorized Triumph dealer fit your tires and make sure they are aware that tire pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels.
78
General Information
Sensor Batteries
When the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low, a message will be shown in the instrument display and the
TPMS symbol or message will indicate which wheel sensor has the low battery voltage. If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be shown in the instrument display, the red TPMS warning light will be on and the TPMS symbol will flash continuously. Contact your authorized Triumph dealer to have the sensor replaced and the new serial number recorded in the spaces provided
With the ignition switch turned to the
ON position, if the TPMS symbol flashes continuously or the TPMS warning light remains on there is a fault with the
TPMS system. Contact your authorized
Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

Fuel Grade
Triumph motorcycles are designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher. Federal regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline are marked 'UNLEADED' and that the
Cost of Living Council (CLC) or Anti-
Knock Index (AKI) octane rating is also displayed. These ratings are an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON).
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 authorized Triumph dealer.
79
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.
Oxygenated Gasoline
To help in meeting clean air standards, some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline to help reduce harmful emissions. These gasolines are a blend of conventional gasoline and another compound such as alcohol.
This Triumph motorcycle will give its best performance when using unleaded gasoline. However, the following should be used as a guide if you use any oxygenated fuels.
Damage caused by using the incorrect fuel or engine calibration is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.
Ethanol
Caution
The exhaust system for this motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels.
Ethanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol and 90% gasoline and is often described under the names 'gasohol', 'Ethanol enhanced', or 'contains Ethanol'. This fuel may be used in your Triumph motorcycle.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
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 trip.
The use of gasolines containing up to
15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.
Methanol
Fuels containing methanol should not be used as damage to components in the fuel system can be caused by contact with methanol.
Note
Note
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some countries, states or territories.
Note
If 'knocking' or 'pinging' occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, use a different brand of gasoline or gasoline which has a higher octane rating.
Because of the generally higher volatility of oxygenated fuels, starting, engine response and fuel consumption may be adversely affected by their use. Should any of these difficulties be experienced, run the motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.

General Information
Breaking-In
R.P.M.
Breaking-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 breaking-in will ensure lower exhaust emissions, and will optimize performance, fuel economy and longevity of the engine and other motorcycle components.
During the first 600 miles (1,000 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 breaking-in has been completed:
• Do not overrev the engine when cold;
• Do not lug the engine. Always downshift before the engine begins to 'struggle';
• Do not ride with engine speeds unnecessarily high. Shifting 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.
95

• Support the motorcycle on a firm, level surface with the side stand.
• Lock the steering.
Caution
The engine should not be stopped by turning the ignition switch to the
OFF position when the motorcycle is moving. The engine stop switch is for emergency use only.
Stopping the engine when the motorcycle is moving may cause damage to motorcycle components.
Starting the Engine
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.
Caution
Do not operate the starter continuously for more than five seconds as the starter motor will overheat and the battery will become discharged.
Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the starter to allow for cooling and recovery of battery power.
Do not let the engine idle for long periods as this may lead to overheating which will cause damage to the engine.
98
How to Ride the Motorcycle
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.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter lockout switches. The switches prevent the electric starter from operating when the transmission is not in neutral with the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended while the engine is running, and the transmission is not in neutral then the engine will stop regardless of clutch position.
To start the engine:
• Check that the engine stop switch is in the RUN position.
• Make sure that the transmission is in neutral.
• Turn the ignition switch ON.
Note
The instrument warning lights will illuminate and will then go off (except those which normally remain on until
the engine starts – see page 39).
A transponder is installed within the key to turn off the engine immobilizer.
To make sure that the immobilizer functions correctly, always have only one of the ignition keys near the ignition switch. Having two ignition keys near the switch may interrupt the signal between the transponder and the engine immobilizer. In this situation the engine immobilizer will remain active until one of the ignition keys is removed.
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.
• Leaving the throttle fully closed, push the starter button until the engine starts.
99
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.
Shifting 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 tire breaking traction (wheel spin).
Always open the throttle cautiously, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the motorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of traction will cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not shift 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.
Shifting down should be done such that low engine speeds will be ensured.

How to Ride the Motorcycle
To shift gears:
• Close the throttle while pulling in the clutch lever.
• Shift into the next higher or lower gear.
• Open the throttle part way, while releasing the clutch lever.
• Always use the clutch when shifting gear.
Note
The gear shift mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means that, for each movement of the gear shift pedal, you can only select each gear, one after the other, in ascending or descending order.
Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) (if equipped)
Caution
Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) is optimized for on-road use.
It must not be used during off-road riding.
Caution
In the event of a TSA system fault when riding, the TSA system will be disabled.
Use the clutch to shift gears in the normal way otherwise damage to the engine or gear box may occur.
Contact a Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.
Caution
Shifting gears must be completed with a quick and forceful pedal movement, making sure that the pedal moves through its full range of travel.
Always take care when shifting gears.
After a gear shift, the pedal must be fully released before another gear shift can be made.
Incorrect gear shifts can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
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.
101
How to Ride the Motorcycle
TSA is not an automatic system for shifting gears. Gears must be selected and shifted in the normal way using the
gear pedal as described on page 100.
TSA works for both up shifts and down shifts of gear. The clutch must be used for stopping and pulling away. The clutch must be used when selecting any gear from neutral, and also when selecting neutral from any other gear.
Triumph Shift Assist 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.
• An up shift is attempted at very low engine speeds.
• A down shift is attempted at very high engine speeds.
• An up shift is attempted during overrun.
• The vehicle speed limiter is active.
• Cruise control is active.
• Traction control is operating.
• If the previous gear has not fully engaged.
• The throttle is changed during a shift.
If TSA does not operate, the clutch can be used to shift gears in the normal way.

How to Ride the Motorcycle
Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING: leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle.
- Shift 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.
- Shift down or fully disengage the clutch as necessary to keep the engine from stalling.
may cause loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident.
Warning
For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning as any improper 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 maneuver 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
For emergency braking, disregard down shifting, 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.
Warning
When descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down shifting 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.
103
How to Ride the Motorcycle
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.
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS)
Warning
ABS prevents the wheels from locking, therefore maximizing 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.
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.
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.
104
How to Ride the Motorcycle
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.
ABS Warning Light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is normal for the ABS warning light to flash on and off (see
page 40). If the ABS warning light is
constantly illuminated it indicates that the ABS function is not available because:
• The ABS has been disabled by the rider.
• The ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated while riding, it indicates that the
ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.
Optimized Cornering ABS (OCABS) (if equipped)
The warning light will flash slowly if Optimized Cornering ABS (OCABS) is switched off by the OFF-ROAD or OFF-ROAD PRO riding modes. A warning message will be shown in the instrument display.
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 authorized 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
The ABS warning light will illuminate when the rear wheel is driven at high speed for more than 30 seconds when the motorcycle is on a stand. This reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off and the motorcycle is restarted, the warning light will illuminate until the motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS system operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires 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.
105
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Optimized Cornering ABS
(OCABS)
Note
Only on Tiger 900 GT, Tiger 900 GT Pro,
Tiger 900 Rally and Tiger 900 Rally Pro models.
The optimized cornering ABS is a system designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated while the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.
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 manner most suitable to help the rider maintain motorcycle control.
Warning
The optimized cornering ABS is a system designed to help the rider in emergency braking situations.
The system is designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated while the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.
The potential increased control that the optimized cornering braking system allows under certain conditions is not a substitute for good riding practice.
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 optimized cornering ABS will use the lean angle measurement from a sensor to apply the ABS in a manner most suitable to help the rider maintain motorcycle control.
The optimized cornering ABS will not however be able to fully counteract the weight and momentum of the motorcycle and braking too hard while cornering may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Under some circumstances it is possible that a motorcycle equipped with optimized 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 optimized cornering ABS.
106
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Warning
If the optimized 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 optimized 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 authorized 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.
Note
Optimized Cornering ABS (OCABS) is disabled in the OFF-ROAD riding mode or if the ABS is switched off, and can be disabled in the OFF-ROAD PRO riding mode.
Parking
Warning
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions.
If parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure it is well ventilated and the motorcycle is not close to any source of flame or sparks. This includes any appliance with a pilot light.
Failure to follow the above advice may cause a fire resulting in damage to property or personal injury.
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding.
DO NOT park where pedestrians and children are likely to touch the motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or exhaust system when hot may cause unprotected skin to become burnt.
107

108
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 traveled.
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.
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning correctly.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the upper level line in the expansion tank.

Caution
In many countries, the exhaust system for this model is equipped with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels.
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.
Tires
High speed operation is hard on tires, and tires that are in good condition are crucial to riding safely. Examine their overall condition, inflate to the correct pressure (when the tires are cold), and check the wheel balance. Securely install the valve caps after checking tire pressures. Observe the information given in the maintenance and specification sections on tire checking and tire safety.
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 trip.
Luggage
Make sure that any luggage containers are closed, locked and securely installed on the motorcycle.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fasteners are tight.

triumphinstructions.com.
Never install genuine Triumph accessories to a Triumph motorcycle model that is not listed in the associated Triumph Fitting Instruction, as this may affect handling, stability or other aspects of the motorcycle operation that may result in an accident causing severe injuries or death.
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: sides of the motorcycle
- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings
- Incorrectly adjusted tire pressures
- Excessively or unevenly worn tires
Side winds and turbulence from other vehicles
- Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will be reduced by the installation of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tires, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers
Loading
Warning
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 equipped). 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 installed 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.
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition 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
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.
113
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
Warning
If the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed
11 lb (5 kg) 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 11 lb (5 kg) 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).
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
Do not carry a passenger unless they are 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
Your passenger should be instructed that they 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.
- To keep their feet on the passenger footrests and to firmly hold onto the seat strap or the rider's waist or hips.
Advise the passenger to lean with the rider when traveling around corners and not to lean unless the rider does so.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters
To protect the environment, do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into groundwater sources. Do not place used oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt, contact your local authority.
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 off.
Engine Oil Specification and Grade
(10W/40 & 10W/50)
Triumph's high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use 10W/40 or 10W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power
1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some countries.
Refer to the chart below for the correct oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be used in your riding area.
Oil Viscosity Temperature Range
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.
128
Maintenance
Cooling System
To ensure efficient engine cooling, check the coolant level each day before riding the motorcycle, and top off the coolant if the level is low.
Note
A year round, Hybrid Organic Acid
Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or
HOAT) coolant is installed in the cooling system when the motorcycle leaves the factory. It is colored green, contains a
50% solution of ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and has a freezing point of
-31°F (-35°C).
Corrosion Inhibitors
Warning
HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze suitable for aluminum engines and radiators. Always use the coolant in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.
Coolant contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to the human body.
Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe irritation. Wear protective gloves, clothing and eye protection when handling coolant.
If coolant is inhaled, remove the person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. In case of doubt or persistent symptoms, seek medical attention.
If coolant gets on your skin, flush with water immediately. Remove contaminated clothing.
If coolant gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
If coolant is swallowed, rinse the mouth with water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP COOLANT OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Note
HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by
Triumph, is premixed and does not need to be diluted prior to filling or topping off the cooling system.
To protect the cooling system from corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in the coolant is essential.
129
Maintenance
If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor is not used, the cooling system will accumulate rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator. This will block the coolant passages, and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.
Coolant Level Inspection
The coolant expansion tank can be viewed from the left hand side of the motorcycle, below and towards the front of the fuel tank.
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is cold (at room or ambient temperature).
Coolant Level Adjustment
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.
When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator will be hot and also under pressure.
Contact with this hot, pressurized coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.
Caution

If hard water is used in the cooling system, it will cause scale accumulation in the engine and radiator and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.
Reduced cooling system efficiency may cause the engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.
1. Expansion tank
2. MAX mark
3. MIN mark
To inspect the coolant level:
• Position the motorcycle on level ground and in an upright position
(not on the stand).
• Check the coolant level in the expansion tank.
• The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is below the minimum level, the coolant level must be adjusted.

1. Expansion tank cap
To adjust the coolant level:
• Allow the engine to cool.
130
Maintenance
• The expansion tank cap can be removed from the right hand side of the motorcycle, between the front of the fuel tank and the frame.
• Remove the cap from the expansion tank and add coolant mixture through the filler opening until the level reaches the MAX mark.
• Reinstall the cap.
Note
If the coolant level is being checked because the coolant has overheated, also check the level in the radiator and top off if necessary.
In an emergency, distilled water can be added to the cooling system. However, the coolant must then be drained and replenished with HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as possible.
Coolant Change
It is recommended that the coolant is changed by an authorized Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Radiator and Hoses
Caution
Using high pressure water sprays, such as from a car wash facility or household pressure washer, can damage the radiator fins, cause leaks and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories, either in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow can cause overheating, potentially resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and tension clips for tightness in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Have your authorized Triumph dealer replace any defective items.
Check the radiator grille and fins for obstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Clean off any obstructions with a stream of low pressure water.
Warning
The fan operates automatically when the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan may cause an accident and/or personal injury.
131
Maintenance
Throttle Control
Warning
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle control and have the throttle system checked by an authorized Triumph dealer if any changes are detected.
Changes can be due to wear in the mechanism, which could lead to a sticking throttle control.
A sticking or stuck throttle control will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free play, the clutch may not disengage fully. This will cause difficulty in shifting gear and selecting neutral. This may cause the engine to stall and make the motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has insufficient free play the clutch may not engage fully, causing the clutch to slip, which will reduce performance and cause premature clutch wear.
Clutch lever free play must be checked in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Clutch Inspection
Check that there is 0.08–0.12 in (2–3 mm) clutch lever free play at the lever.
If there is an incorrect amount of free play, adjustments must be made.
Clutch Adjustment
To adjust the clutch:
• Turn the adjuster sleeve until the correct amount of clutch lever free play is achieved.

Never neglect drive chain maintenance and always have drive chains installed by an authorized Triumph dealer.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied drive chain as specified in the Triumph Parts
Catalog.
The use of non-approved drive chains may result in a broken drive chain or may cause the drive chain to jump off the sprockets leading to loss of motorcycle control or an accident.
Caution
If the sprockets are found to be worn, always replace the sprockets and drive chain together.
Replacing worn sprockets without also replacing the drive chain will lead to premature wear of the new sprockets.
To inspect the drive chain and sprocket wear:
• Remove the drive chain guard.
• Stretch the drive chain taut by hanging a 20–40 lb (10–20 kg) weight on the drive chain.
• Measure the length of 20 links on the straight part of the drive chain from pin center of the 1st pin to the pin center of the 21st pin. Since the drive chain may wear unevenly, take measurements in several places.
• If the length exceeds the maximum service limit of 12.56 in (319 mm), the drive chain must be replaced.
• Rotate the rear wheel and inspect the drive chain for damaged rollers, and loose pins and links.
• Also inspect the sprockets for unevenly or excessively worn or damaged teeth.

Maintenance
Brake Pad Wear Compensation Disc Brake Fluid
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 lines and hoses or the brakes may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and your authorized Triumph dealer must rectify the fault before riding.
Riding with defective brakes may lead 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.
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 installed, 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.
138
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 authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.
Maintenance
Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection and Adjustment
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either fluid reservoir, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for advice before riding.
Riding with depleted brake fluid levels, or with a brake fluid leak is dangerous and will cause reduced brake performance potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
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 authorized Triumph dealer when the brake fluid needs replacing or the hydraulic system requires maintenance.
The front brake fluid reservoir is located on the right hand side handlebar.

Tires cboa
All model variants are equipped with tubeless tires, valves and wheel rims.
Use only tires marked TUBELESS and tubeless valves on rims marked
SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS TYRES.
Warning
Do not install tube type tires on tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tires could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire deflation that may result in a loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tire without the appropriate marking. This will cause friction inside the tire and the resulting heat buildup may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Maintenance
Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect tire 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 tire 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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped)
Caution
An adhesive label is installed to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tire pressure sensor.
Care must be taken when replacing the tires to prevent any damage to the tire pressure sensors.
Always have your tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors are installed on the wheels.
Warning
Tire pressures which have been reduced for off-road riding will impair on-road stability.
Always make sure that the tire pressures are set as described in the
Specification section for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tire pressures may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide maximum stability, rider comfort and tire life. Always check tire pressures before riding when the tires are cold.
Check tire pressures daily and adjust if necessary. See the Specification section for details of the correct inflation pressures.
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 tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors are installed on the wheels.
155
Maintenance
The tire pressures shown on your instruments indicate the actual tire pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tires are cold because tires become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tire to expand and increase the inflation pressure. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.
Only adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate pressure gage. Do not use the tire pressure display on the instruments.
Tire Wear
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tire problems occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is recommended that tires are changed before they are worn to their minimum tread depth.
Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
Warning
Operation with excessively worn tires is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of control and an accident.
When tubeless tires, used without a tube, become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tires very closely for punctures. Check the tires for cuts, embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tires will adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling which may lead to loss of control or an accident.
Check the rims for dents or deformation. Operation with damaged or defective wheels or tires is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control or an accident could result.
Always consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tires.
In accordance with the periodic maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gage, and replace any tire 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

Maintenance
Tire Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tire combinations are approved for use on each model.
It is essential that approved tires mounted in approved combinations, are used when purchasing replacement items. The use of non-approved tires or approved tires in non-approved combinations, may lead to motorcycle instability, loss of control and an accident.
A list of approved tires specific to your motorcycle are available from your authorized Triumph dealer, or on the
Internet at www.triumph.co.uk. Always have tires mounted and balanced by your authorized Triumph dealer who has the necessary training and skills to ensure safe, effective mounting.
When replacement tires are required, consult your authorized Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tires to be selected, in a correct combination, from the approved list and mounted according to the tire manufacturer's instructions.
Initially, the new tires will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tires and the rider must allow adequate riding distance (approximately
100 miles (160 km)) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics.
The tire pressures must be checked and adjusted, and the tires examined for correct seating 24 hours after fitting. Rectification must be carried out as necessary. The same checks and adjustments must also be carried out when 100 miles (160 km) have been traveled after mounting.
Warning
Do not install tube type tires on tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tires could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire deflation that may result in a loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tire without the appropriate marking. This will cause friction inside the tire and the resulting heat buildup may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If a tire sustains a puncture, the tire must be replaced.
Failure to replace a punctured tire or operation with a repaired tire can lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control or an accident.
157
Maintenance
Warning
If tire damage is suspected, such as after striking the curb, ask your authorized Triumph dealer to inspect the tire both internally and externally.
Tire damage may not always be visible from the outside.
Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tires could lead to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Accurate wheel balance is necessary for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. Incorrect wheel balance may cause instability leading to loss of control and an accident.
When wheel balancing is required, such as after tire replacement, see your authorized Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on weights may damage the wheel or tire resulting in tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated tires, incorrectly adjusted tire 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 tires 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
Tires 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 tire.
Tires must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tire may lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the voltage and routine recharging when required, such as during storage.
• Remove the battery strap.
• Remove the battery cover, noting the orientation of the cover and the leads.
• Disconnect the battery leads, negative lead first.
Clean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Make sure that the cable connections are clean.
It is not possible to adjust the battery acid level in the battery; the sealing strip must not be removed.
• Remove the battery out of the case.
Battery Discharge
Battery Disposal
Should the battery ever require replacement, the original battery must be handed to a recycling agent who will make sure that the dangerous substances from which the battery is manufactured do not pollute the environment.
Caution
The charge level in the battery must be maintained to maximize battery life.
Failure to maintain the battery charge level could cause serious internal damage to the battery.
Under normal conditions, the motorcycle charging system will keep the battery fully charged. However, if the motorcycle is unused, the battery will gradually discharge due to a normal process called self discharge; the clock,
160
Maintenance
Engine Control Module (ECM) memory, high ambient temperatures, or the addition of electrical security systems or other electrical accessories will all increase this rate of battery discharge.
Disconnecting the battery from the motorcycle during storage will reduce the rate of discharge.
Battery Discharge During Storage and Infrequent Use of the
Motorcycle
During storage or infrequent use of the motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage weekly using a multimeter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the meter.
Should the battery voltage fall below
Volts, the battery should be charged.
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 crystallize on the plates making recovery difficult or impossible.
This permanent damage is not covered by the motorcycle warranty, as it is not due to a manufacturing defect.
Keeping the battery fully charged reduces the likelihood of it freezing in cold conditions. Allowing a battery to freeze will cause serious internal damage to the battery.
Battery Charging
IMMEDIATELY.
Warning
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.
The battery contains sulfuric 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
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
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 authorized Triumph dealer.
161
Maintenance
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.

Cleaning
Frequent, regular cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance of your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned, the appearance will be preserved for many years.
Preparation for Washing
Before washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following places.
Cleaning with cold water containing an automotive cleaner is essential at all times but particularly so after exposure to sea breezes, sea water, dusty or muddy roads and in winter when roads are treated for ice and snow.
Do not use household detergent, as the use of such products will lead to premature corrosion.
Although, under the terms of your motorcycle warranty, cover is provided against the corrosion of certain items, the owner is expected to observe this reasonable advice which will safeguard against corrosion and enhance the appearance of the motorcycle.
Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover with a plastic bag secured with rubber bands.
Clutch and brake levers, switch housings on the handlebar: Cover with plastic bags.
Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover the keyhole with tape.
Remove any items of jewelry such as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles, which may scratch or otherwise damage painted or polished surfaces.
Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaning cloths for washing painted/ polished surfaces and chassis areas.
Chassis areas (such as wheels and under fenders) will be exposed to more abrasive road grime and dust, which may then scratch painted or polished surfaces, if the same sponge or cleaning cloths are used.
172
Cleaning and Storage
Where to be Careful
Caution
Do not use high pressure spray washers or steam cleaners.
Use of high pressure spray washers and steam cleaners may damage seals, and cause water and steam to be forced into bearings and other components causing premature wear from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
• Wheel bearings.
Note
Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will leave a residue on painted surfaces, and may also cause water spotting.
Always use a low alkaline soap to aid the cleaning process.
Caution
Do not spray any water at all near the air intake duct.
The air intake duct is normally located under the rider’s seat, under the fuel tank or near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could enter the airbox and engine, causing damage to both items.
Do not get water near the following places:
• Air intake duct
• Any visible electrical components
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers
• Handlebar switch housings
• Steering head bearings
• Instruments
• Oil filler cap
