The Motorcycle

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his/her own, or a rider and one passenger (subject to a passenger seat and footrests being installed).

The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 463 lb (210 kg).

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 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

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.

7

Safety First

Warning

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

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.

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.

with gasoline.

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

Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact

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.

Safety First

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although full protection is not possible, wearing correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of injury when riding.

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 unauthorized 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 installed to the motorcycle by an authorized dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous to install or replace parts or accessories whose installation requires the dismantling of, or addition to, either the electrical or fuel systems and any such modification could cause a safety hazard.

The installation 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 installation of non-approved parts, accessories or conversions or the installation of any approved parts, accessories or conversions by nonapproved personnel.

Safety First

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorized 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.

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

Make sure all equipment that is required by law is installed and functioning correctly.

The removal or alteration of the motorcycle’s lights, mufflers, emission or noise control systems can violate the law.

Incorrect or improper modification may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation, which may result in an accident causing injury or death.

Warning

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

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident, collision or fall, it must be taken to an authorized 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.

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.

11

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 vehicle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times.

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

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.

The maximum wear limit is shown by a groove on the bank angle indicator.

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 vehicle.

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

1. Bank angle indicator

1

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.

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle. Therefore, always replace the bank angle indicator pegs before they are worn to their maximum limit. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Details of the bank angle wear limits can be found in the Maintenance and

Adjustment section on page 143.

General Information

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 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

On straight and level roads or 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

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.

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.

33

General Information

Warning

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

General Information

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.

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.

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.

For information on the traction control

indicator light operation, see page 28.

68

General Information

Note

Traction control may not always be active depending on the riding mode selected.

- There are no other faults with the traction control system.

Traction control has NOT been

disabled (see Bike Setup on page 46

or Riding Mode Configuration on

page 43).

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.

69

General Information

Optimized cornering traction control is a system designed to provide increased control should the traction control be activated while 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.

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.

Note

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.

Optimized cornering traction control is not active when in Off-road mode.

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

messages, see page 29.

Note

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) is available as an accessory kit.

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.

Warning

The daily check of tire pressures must not be excluded because of the installation of the TPMS. Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold and using an accurate tire pressure gage

(see page 145).

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

General Information

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 authorized Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

Tire 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 installed on the wheel.

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 and using an accurate tire pressure gage (see

page 145).

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 your 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 inflation 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 145), and do

not use the tire pressure display on the instruments.

74

General Information

Replacement Tires

When replacing tires, always have an authorized Triumph dealer mount your tires and make sure they are aware that tire pressure sensors are mounted to the wheels.

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.

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.

Caution

The exhaust system for this motorcycle is equipped 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 trip.

Engine Calibration

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

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.

79

General Information

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.

Ethanol

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)

The use of gasolines containing up to

15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.

Refueling

Warning

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

Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. When refueling, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

- Do not smoke.

- Do not use a mobile telephone.

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

- Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or other sources may cause the fuel to expand and overflow creating a fire hazard.

- After refueling always check that the fuel filler cap is correctly closed.

Methanol

Fuels containing methanol should not be used as damage to components in the fuel system can be caused by contact with methanol.

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

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.

80

General Information

Fuel Tank Cap

1. Fuel tank cap

To open the fuel tank cap:

• Remove the cover or lift up the flap.

• Insert the key into the lock and turn the key clockwise.

• Rotate the cap counterclockwise and lift clear of the tank filler neck.

To close and lock the cap:

• Align the cap to the tank filler neck and rotate the cap clockwise until the cap seals against the filler neck.

• In the fully closed position, a ratchet mechanism prevents overtightening of the cap by allowing the outer part of the cap to turn independently of the internal part.

• Turn the key counterclockwise to lock and withdraw the key.

• Replace the cover.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Warning

Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel spillage.

If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the spillage immediately and dispose of the materials used safely.

Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any other part of the motorcycle.

Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above may lead to a fire hazard, which could cause damage to property and injury or death to persons.

Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires will reduce the tires’ ability to grip the road. This will result in a dangerous riding condition potentially causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty conditions where airborne material can contaminate the fuel.

Contaminated fuel may cause damage to fuel system components.

81

General Information

Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above the bottom of the filler neck.

This will make sure there is enough air space to allow for fuel expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands through absorption of heat from the engine or from direct sunlight.

Breaking-In

R.P.M.

cboa

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 500 miles (800 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.

From 500 to 1,000

1,500 km):

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

88

General Information

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.

Daily Safety Checks

Warning

Failure to perform these checks every day before you ride may result in serious motorcycle damage or an accident causing serious injury or death.

Check the following items each day before you ride. The time required is minimal, and these checks will help ensure a safe, reliable ride.

If any irregularities are found during these checks, refer to the Maintenance and Adjustment section or see your authorized Triumph dealer for the action required to return the motorcycle to a safe operating condition.

Check:

Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel

leaks (see page 81).

Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick or shown in sight glass. Add correct specification oil as required. No leaks from the engine or oil cooler (see

• Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

• Press and hold the QUICK START position on the engine start/stop switch until the engine starts.

• Check that the engine stop switch is in the RUN position.

• Make sure the transmission is in neutral.

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 the clutch lever position.

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 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.

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.

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 so that low engine speeds will be ensured.

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

(whether or not ABS is equipped), 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.

95

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 helps prevent 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 motorcycle control and an accident.

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

96

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning or has been disabled, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the 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 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

Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.

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 that the ABS warning light will flash on and off. The light will continue to flash after engine start-up until the motorcycle first reaches a speed exceeding 6

(10 km/h) when it will go off.

The warning light will not illuminate again until the engine is restarted unless there is a fault, or the ABS is disabled by the rider.

If the ABS is disabled by the rider the warning light will illuminate until the

ABS is enabled again.

If there is a fault with the ABS system the warning light will be illuminated and the general warning symbol will flash.

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).

97

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

The ABS computer 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.

Optimized Cornering ABS

Note

Only on Scrambler 1200 XE.

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.

98

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 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.

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.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

Do not park on a soft or on a steeply inclined surface.

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

Warning

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.

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.

• 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.

100

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

• Make sure that the side stand is fully retracted before riding off.

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

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.

101

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

The handling characteristics of a motorcycle at high speed may vary from those you are familiar with at legal road speeds.

Do not attempt high speed operation unless you have received sufficient training and have the required skills as a serious accident may result from incorrect operation.

Warning

The items listed 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.

Always check the level with the engine cold.

Engine Oil

Check that the engine oil level is correct.

Make sure that the correct grade and type of oil is used when topping off.

Drive Chain

Make sure that the drive chain is correctly adjusted and lubricated.

Inspect the chain for wear and damage.

Fuel

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

Caution

In many countries, the exhaust system for this model is equipped 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 trip.

Miscellaneous

Visually check that all fasteners are tight.

Electrical Equipment

Make sure that all electrical equipment such as the headlight, rear/brake light, turn signals and horn all work correctly.

Luggage

Make sure that any luggage containers are closed, locked and securely installed on the motorcycle.

102

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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.

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.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

The addition of accessories and carrying 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

Warning

Continued

- 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.

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:

Incorrectly balanced loads on both sides of the motorcycle

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.

Loading

The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 463 lb (210 kg).

- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings

105

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

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

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

(see page 140). Note the maximum

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

Warning

If the passenger seat or luggage rack

(if equipped) is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed a total maximum weight of 4 lbs (2 kg).

This total weight (combined on the seat and luggage rack if equipped), 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 the above weights, that are insecure, impair control or extend beyond the rear or sides of the motorcycle may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Even if small objects are correctly loaded onto the rear seat, the maximum speed of the motorcycle must be reduced to 80 mph (130 km/h).

Warning

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.

106

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Passengers

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:

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

To keep his or her feet on the passenger footrests and to firmly hold onto the seat strap or the rider's waist or hips.

Advise the passenger to lean with the rider when traveling around corners and not to lean unless the rider does so.

Warning

Do not carry animals on your motorcycle.

An animal could make sudden and unpredictable movements that could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

118

Maintenance and Adjustment

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

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.

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

Note

The coolant level should be checked when the engine is cold (at room or ambient temperature).

1

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

1. MAX level

2. MIN level

119

Maintenance and Adjustment

To inspect the coolant level:

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

The expansion tank can be viewed from the left hand side of the motorcycle, towards the rear of the engine.

• Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. The coolant level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the coolant is below the minimum lower level, the coolant level must be adjusted.

Coolant Level Adjustment

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.

The expansion tank can be accessed from the left hand side of the motorcycle, towards the rear of the engine.

2

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.

2. MAX level

3. MIN level

To adjust the coolant level:

• Allow the engine to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.

• Remove the expansion tank cap from the expansion tank and add coolant mixture through the filler opening until the level reaches the

MAX mark.

• Reinstall the expansion tank cap.

120

Maintenance and Adjustment

Coolant Change

It is recommended that the coolant is changed by an authorized Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Radiator and Hoses

Warning

The fan operates automatically when the engine is running. Always keep hands and clothing away from the fan as contact with the rotating fan can cause injury.

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.

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.

Throttle Inspection

Warning

Use of the motorcycle with a sticking or damaged throttle control will interfere with the throttle function resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

To avoid continued use of a sticking or damaged throttle control, always have it checked by your authorized Triumph dealer.

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.

To inspect the throttle:

• Check that the throttle opens smoothly, without undue force and that it closes without sticking.

Have your authorized Triumph dealer check the throttle system if a problem is detected or any doubt exists.

121

Maintenance and Adjustment

• If there is an incorrect amount of free play, Triumph recommends that you have your authorized Triumph dealer investigate.

• Check that there is 0.04 - 0.08 in

(1 - 2 mm) of throttle grip free play when lightly turning the throttle grip back and forth.

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.

Drive Chain cbnz

Warning

A loose or worn chain, or a chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could catch on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel.

A chain that snags on the engine sprocket will injure the rider and lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Similarly, locking the rear wheel will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles

(300 km) and also after riding in wet weather, on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry.

To lubricate the drive chain:

• Use the special chain lubricant as recommended in the Specifications section.

• Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers then allow the motorcycle to stand unused for at least eight hours (overnight is ideal). This will allow the oil to penetrate to the chain O-rings etc.

• Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.

• If the chain is especially dirty, clean first and then apply oil as mentioned above.

For safety and to prevent excessive wear the drive chain must be checked, adjusted and lubricated in accordance with the scheduled maintenance requirements. Checking, adjustment and lubrication must be carried out more frequently for extreme conditions such as high speed riding, salty or heavily gritted roads.

If the chain is badly worn or incorrectly adjusted (either too loose or too tight) the chain could jump off the sprockets or break. Therefore, always replace worn or damaged chains using genuine

Triumph parts supplied by an authorized

Triumph dealer.

Caution

Do not use a pressure washer to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.

• Repeat the drive chain adjustment check. Readjust if necessary.

Warning

Operation of the motorcycle with insecure adjuster lock nuts or a loose wheel spindle may result in impaired stability and handling of the motorcycle.

This impaired stability and handling may lead to loss of control or an accident.

Drive Chain and Sprocket Wear

Inspection

Warning

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

• Check the rear brake effectiveness.

Rectify if necessary.

Warning

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.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective brakes; you must have your authorized Triumph dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the motorcycle again.

Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control or an accident.

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.

129

Maintenance and Adjustment

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.

Maintenance and Adjustment

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.

Underinflation 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.

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.

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.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(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.

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.

145

Maintenance and Adjustment

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

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

(130 km/h)

0.08 in (2 mm)

Front 0.08 in (2 mm)

Rear 0.12 in (3 mm)

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.

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

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

Always have tires and inner tubes mounted and balanced by your authorized Triumph dealer who has the necessary training and skills to ensure safe, effective installation.

Different wheel speeds, caused by nonapproved tires, can affect the function of the ABS computer.

146

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

The ABS system operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels. Use of nonrecommended 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.

Warning

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

Warning

Inner tubes must only be used on motorcycles equipped with spoked wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE

TYPE'.

Some brands of approved tires marked

'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use with an inner tube. Where this is the case, the tire wall will be marked with text permitting the installation of an inner tube.

Use of an inner tube with a tire 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 tire resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

147

Maintenance and Adjustment

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.

Remember, 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

Tires 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 tire.

Tires and inner tubes must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tire or inner tube may lead to instability, loss of motorcycle 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 or inner tube replacement, see your authorized

Triumph dealer.

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

148

Maintenance and Adjustment

Warning

When replacement tires or inner tubes are required, consult your authorized

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

When tires and inner tubes are replaced, allow time for the tires and inner tubes to seat to the rim

(approximately 24 hours). During this seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated tire or inner tube could cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Initially, the new tires and inner tubes will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tires and inner tubes and the rider must allow adequate riding distance

(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics.

Battery

Warning

Under some circumstances, the battery can give 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

IMMEDIATELY.

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

ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE

pressures must be checked and adjusted, and the tires and inner tubes examined for correct seating.

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.

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

Warning

The battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is installed in the motorcycle.

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

Maintenance and Adjustment

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.

Battery Discharge

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.

Battery Maintenance

Warning

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

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

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 (see the following paragraphs).

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

Under normal conditions, the motorcycle charging system will keep the battery fully charged. However, if the motorcycle is unused, the battery will gradually discharge due to a normal process called self discharge; the clock,

Engine Control Module (ECM) memory, high ambient temperatures, or the addition of electrical security systems or other electrical accessories will all increase this rate of battery discharge.

Disconnecting the battery from the motorcycle during storage will reduce the rate of discharge.

Battery Discharge During Storage and Infrequent Use of the

Motorcycle

During storage or infrequent use of the motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage weekly using a digital multimeter.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the meter.

Should the battery voltage fall below

Volts, the battery should be charged.

151

Maintenance and Adjustment

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Battery Installation

Warning

Make sure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame.

This may cause a short circuit or spark which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.

Cleaning and Storage

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.

158

Where to be Careful

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.

Cleaning and Storage

Washing

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

Wash the motorcycle with a sponge or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool. They will damage the finish.

Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with cold water.

Caution

Use of high pressure spray washers is not recommended.

When using pressure washers, water may be forced into bearings and other components causing premature wear from corrosion and loss of lubrication.

After Washing

Warning

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.

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

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

• Instruments,

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers,

• Under the fuel tank,

• Air intake duct,

• Steering head bearings,

• Wheel bearings,

• Suspension seals and 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.

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

Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.

Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.

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

Start the engine and run it for

5 minutes. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation for the exhaust fumes.

159

Cleaning and Storage

Care of Gloss Paintwork

Gloss paintwork should be washed and dried as described above, then protected using a high quality automotive polish. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and repeat regularly to maintain your motorcycle’s appearance.

Cleaning of Chrome and

Stainless Steel Items

All chrome and stainless steel parts of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance.

Washing

Wash as previously described.

Care of Matt Paintwork

Matt paintwork requires no greater care than that already recommended for high gloss paintwork.

Drying

Dry the chrome and stainless steel parts as far as possible with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

• Do not use any polish or wax on matt paintwork.

Protecting

• Do not try and polish out scratches.

Caution

Aluminum Items - not

Lacquered or Painted

Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels, engine covers, engine cooling fins, upper and lower yokes and throttle bodies on some models must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance. Please contact your dealer if you are unsure which components on your motorcycle are aluminum parts not protected by paint or lacquer, and for guidance on how to clean those items.

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

The use of products containing silicone will cause discoloration of the chrome and stainless steel parts and must not be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners will damage the finish and must not be used.

When the chrome and stainless steel is dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome cleaner on to the surface, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

It is recommended that regular protection be applied to the motorcycle as this will both protect and enhance its appearance.

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

Warranty claims due to inadequate maintenance will not be allowed.

160

Cleaning and Storage

Black Chrome

Items such as headlight bowls and mirrors on some models must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance. Please contact your dealer if you are unsure which components on your motorcycle are black chrome parts. Maintain the appearance of black chrome items by rubbing a small amount of light oil into the surface.

Cleaning of the Exhaust

System

All parts of the exhaust system of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance.

These instructions can be applied to chrome, brushed stainless steel and carbon fiber components; matt painted exhaust systems should be cleaned as above, noting the care instructions in the Matt Paintwork section previously.

Note

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

Washing

Wash as previously described.

Make sure that no soap or water enters the exhausts.

Drying

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

Protecting

Caution

The use of products containing silicone will cause discoloration of the chrome and must not be used.

Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners will damage the system and must not be used.

When the exhaust system is dry, apply a suitable proprietary motorcycle protection spray onto the surface, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

161

Cleaning and Storage

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

Windshield Cleaning

(if equipped)

Seat Care

Caution

Use of chemicals or high pressure spray washers is not recommended for cleaning the seat.

Using chemicals or high pressure spray washers may damage the seat cover.

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

Warning

Never attempt to clean the windshield while the motorcycle is in motion as releasing the handlebars may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Operation of the motorcycle with a damaged or scratched windshield will reduce the rider's forward vision.

Any such reduction in forward vision is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Corrosive chemicals such as battery acid will damage the windshield. Never allow corrosive chemicals to contact the windshield.

Caution

Products such as window cleaning fluids, insect remover, rain repellent, scouring compounds, gasoline or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage the windshield.

Never allow these products to contact the windshield.

162

Cleaning and Storage

Clean the windshield with a solution of mild soap or detergent and cold water.

After cleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the transparency of the windshield is reduced by scratches or oxidation which cannot be removed, the windshield must be replaced.

Care of Leather Products

We recommend that you periodically clean your leather products with a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally at room temperature. This will maintain the appearance of the leather and ensure the long life of your product.

Your Triumph leather product is a natural product and lack of care can result in damage and permanent wear.

Follow these simple instructions and give your leather product the respect it deserves:

• Do not use household cleaning products, bleach, detergents containing bleach or any kind of solvent to clean your leather product.

• Do not immerse your leather product in water.

• Avoid direct heat from fires and radiators which can dry out and distort the leather.

• Do not leave your leather product in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

• Do not dry your leather product by applying direct heat to it at any time.

• If your leather product does get wet, absorb any excess water with a soft clean cloth then leave the product to dry naturally at room temperature.

• Avoid exposure of your leather product to high levels of salt, for example sea/salt water or road surfaces that have been treated during the winter for ice and snow.

163

Cleaning and Storage

• If exposure to salt is unavoidable, clean your leather product immediately after each exposure

with a damp cloth then leave the product to dry naturally at room temperature.

• Place your leather product in a fabric bag or cardboard box to protect it when in storage. Do not use a plastic bag.

Storage

• Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade of unleaded fuel and add a suitable fuel stabilizer (if available), following the fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions.

Warning

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

Turn the ignition switch OFF. Do not smoke.

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

• Remove one of the spark plugs from each cylinder and put several drops

0.17 fl oz (5 ml) of engine oil into each cylinder. Cover the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth or rag. With the engine stop switch in the RUN position, push the starter button for a few seconds to coat the cylinder walls with oil. Install the spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft (12 Nm).

• Change the engine oil and filter (see

page 116).

• Check and if necessary correct the

tire pressures (see page 145).

164

Cleaning and Storage

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

• Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host of products on the market and your authorized Triumph dealer will be able to offer you local advice) on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Prevent oil from getting on rubber parts, brake discs or in the brake calipers.

• Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50% mixture of coolant

(noting that HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed and requires no dilution) and distilled water solution (see

page 119).

• Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. During storage it should be given a slow charge (one

Ampere or less) about once every

two weeks (see page 152).

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

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

Preparation after Storage

Continued

Always operate a motorcycle equipped with mud and snow/dual purpose tires at reduced speeds. The permissible maximum speed is 60 mph (100 km/h). This is also shown on a warning sticker on the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle above the permissible maximum speed may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Always make sure that the tire pressures are set as described in the Specifications section for on-road use.

Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tire pressures may cause loss of motorcycle control leading to an accident.

Warning

Use the recommended tires ONLY in the combinations given.

Do not mix tires from different manufacturers or mix different specification tires from the same manufacturers as this may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
