The Motorcycle

Warning

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

Off-road operation could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle resulting in an accident causing injury or loss of life.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be 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 very high temperature during engine operation.

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

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

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on 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 stated in the Specifications section.

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.

8

Safety First

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. You and your passenger's helmet should be carefully chosen and should fit you or your passenger's head comfortably and securely. A brightly 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.

9

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.

- Engage first gear to help prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

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.

will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians, animals and/ or children are likely to touch the motorcycle.

- Do not park on soft ground or on a steeply inclined surface. Parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over.

For further details, please refer to the

'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of this Owner's Handbook.

Warning

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.

12

Safety First

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.

Riding Modes

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

Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control

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

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

Each riding mode is adjustable.

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

For more information, see page 43. If

a riding mode is edited (other than the

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

Riding Mode Selection

Warning

The selection of riding modes 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

-

Description

Road

Sport 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.

Instruments

Warning

If traction control has been disabled in

the Main Menu as described on page 46

then settings saved for all riding modes will be overridden.

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

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

Warning

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

Warning

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

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

To select a riding mode:

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

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

To change the selected riding mode:

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

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.

All motorcycles are equipped with

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

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

Optimized Cornering Traction

Control

Warning

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

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

Warning

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

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

ABS warning light.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an 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.

73

General Information

Warning

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

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

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

- There are no other faults with the TC system.

Optimized cornering traction control is a system designed to give the rider 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.

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

messages, see page 27.

the rider (see the Riding Modes

Configuration section)

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

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

ABS warning light.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an 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.

Traction Control Settings

Warning

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

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

The TC system can be disabled as

described in Bike Setup on page 46, or

set to the conditions described in Riding

Mode Configuration on page 43.

Note

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

MIL may be illuminated.

General Information

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

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

After bring the motorcycle to a stop, the sensors continue to transmit data for approximately seven minutes before switching off. The tire pressure values remain visible 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.

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.

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.

When the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low, the TPMS symbol will be shown in amber and a message will indicate which wheel sensor has the low battery voltage.

Tire Pressures

Warning

If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be shown in the display screen and the red TPMS warning light will be on. A message will also be shown in the display.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) is not to be used as a tire pressure gage when adjusting the tire pressures.

Contact your authorized Triumph dealer to have the sensor replaced and the new serial number recorded in the

spaces provided on page 75.

For correct tire pressures, always check the tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate tire pressure gage.

With the ignition switched on, if the

TPMS symbol flashes continuously or the TPMS warning light remains on there is a fault with the TPMS system.

Contact your Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

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

77

General Information

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.

Low Tire Pressure

Warning

Stop the motorcycle if the tire pressure warning light illuminates.

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

If a low tire pressure is detected, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate and a message will be shown in the

display (see page 76).

The tire pressures shown on the instrument display indicate the actual tire pressure at the time of selecting the TPMS. 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 143), and do

not use the tire pressure shown on the instrument display.

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

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).

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.

Ethanol

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

Note

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

In all other markets Ethanol up to E25

(25% Ethanol) may be used.

Engine Calibration

Note

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

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.

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 (1000 km):

• Do not use full throttle;

• Avoid high engine speeds at all times;

• Avoid riding at one constant engine speed, whether fast or slow, for a long period of time;

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and rapid accelerations, except in an emergency;

• Do not ride at speeds greater than

3/4 of maximum speed.

Both during and after 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.

96

Warning

Never start the engine or run the engine in a confined area.

Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time.

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

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Moving Off

To move the motorcycle:

• Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear.

• Open the throttle a little and let out the clutch lever slowly.

• As the clutch starts to engage, open the throttle a little more, allowing enough engine speed to avoid stalling.

Caution

The low oil pressure warning light should go out shortly after the engine starts.

If the low oil pressure warning light stays on after starting the engine, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.

Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause severe engine damage.

Note

A transponder is installed within the key to turn off the engine immobilizer.

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

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

97

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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.

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 only.

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

1

1. Gear shift pedal

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

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

The clutch must be used for stopping and pulling away.

TSA will not operate if:

• The clutch is applied.

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

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

98

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

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

• The vehicle speed limiter is active.

• Cruise control is active.

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

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

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

page 47.

Braking

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

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

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

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

99

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1

1. Front brake lever leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle.

- 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.

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

1. Rear brake pedal

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.

100

How to Ride the Motorcycle

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

Riding with your foot on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the brake light, giving a false indication to other road users.

It may also overheat the brake, reducing braking effectiveness leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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

The transmission is pressure lubricated only when the engine is running.

Inadequate lubrication may cause damage or seizure of the transmission, which can lead to sudden loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

When descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down 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.

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.

101

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Caution

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

Anti-lock Braking System

(ABS)

Warning

ABS prevents the wheels from locking, therefore 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.

102

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

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

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated.

Contact an 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

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.

Optimized Cornering ABS

The optimized cornering Anti-lock

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

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

Warning

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

The system is designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated 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.

103

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 suitable method to assist the rider to 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.

ABS Warning Light

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

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

ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

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

104

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

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

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

This reaction is normal.

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

Warning

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

Use of non-recommended 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.

Hill Hold Control

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

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

Warning

Avoid activating the hill hold control system on slippery surfaces.

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

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

105

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

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

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

(MIL) to illuminate.

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

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

Caution

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

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

10 minutes.

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

Activation

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

• The engine must be running

• The side stand must be in the up position

• The motorcycle must be stationary.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note

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

106

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Deactivation

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

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

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

Hill Hold Unavailable

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

Parking

Warning

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 activation conditions described

on page 106 have not been met.

The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding.

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

section on page 25.

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.

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

The hill hold control system can be

enabled or disabled (see page 47).

107

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

Do not park on a soft or steeply inclined surface.

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

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

Note

When parking near traffic at night, or when parking in a location where parking lights are required by law, leave the tail, license plate and position lights on.

To park the motorcycle:

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

• Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

• Always park on a firm, level surface to prevent the motorcycle from falling. This is particularly important when parking off-road.

• When parking on a hill, always park facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand. Engage first gear to prevent the motorcycle from moving.

• On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park such that the incline naturally pushes the motorcycle towards the side stand.

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.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns smoothly without excessive free play or tight spots. Make sure that the control cables do not restrict the steering in any way.

Luggage

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

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning properly.

109

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Tires Engine Oil

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.

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

Final Drive Oil

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

Coolant

Fuel

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

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

Caution

Electrical Equipment

In many countries, the exhaust system for this model is equipped with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels.

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

Miscellaneous

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.

Visually check that all fasteners are tight.

Always make sure you have adequate fuel for your trip.

110

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

Do not install accessories or carry luggage that impairs the control of the motorcycle.

Make sure that you have not adversely affected any lighting component, road clearance, banking capability (i.e. lean angle), control operation, wheel travel, front fork movement, visibility in any direction, or any other aspect of the motorcycle's operation.

Warning

Owners should be aware that the only approved parts, accessories and conversions for any Triumph motorcycle are those which carry official Triumph approval and are 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.

111

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

Never ride an accessory equipped motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a payload of any kind, at speeds above

80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of these conditions, speeds in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h) should not be attempted even where the legal speed limit permits this.

The presence of accessories and/ or payload will cause changes in the stability and handling of the motorcycle.

Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle stability may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

Loading

sides of the motorcycle

- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings

- Incorrectly adjusted 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.

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 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.

112

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

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

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

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

Warning

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

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

Warning

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

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).

Note

Adjust the headlight aim to compensate

for additional loads (page 153).

113

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Passengers

Warning

The handling and braking capabilities of a motorcycle will be affected by the presence of a passenger.

The rider must make allowances for these changes when operating the motorcycle with a passenger and should not attempt such operation unless trained to do so and without becoming familiar and comfortable with the changes in motorcycle operating characteristics that this brings about.

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

Warning

Your passenger should be instructed that 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.

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

Do not carry animals on your motorcycle.

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

Maintenance

Engine Oil

Warning

Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated engine wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure.

Seizure of the engine or transmission may lead to sudden loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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

Engine Oil Level Inspection

Warning

Never start the engine or run the engine in a confined area.

Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time.

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

Warning

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

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

Caution

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

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

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

Caution

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

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

121

Maintenance

Note

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

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

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

To inspect the engine oil level:

• Make sure the engine is cold.

• Start the engine and run at idle for

60 - 90 seconds.

Note

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

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

• Remove the oil dipstick from the oil filler tube, wipe the dipstick clean and reinstall into the oil filler tube, making sure to push the engine oil dipstick fully in.

• Remove the engine oil dipstick.

• The engine contains a sufficient amount of oil if the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the engine oil dipstick.

Note

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note

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

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

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

124

Maintenance

Caution

Raising the engine speed above idle before the oil reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the engine for 60 seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.

Caution

If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If this light stays on when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.

Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause engine damage.

Engine Oil Specification and Grade

(15W/50)

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

MA, such as Castrol Power 1 4T

Do not add any chemical additives to the engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the clutch and any additives could cause the clutch to slip.

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

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

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil

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.

125

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

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

The coolant expansion tank is located on the right hand side of the motorcycle, in the radiator lower cowl.

The coolant level within the coolant expansion tank can be inspected without removing any covers.

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.

Maintenance

To inspect the coolant level:

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

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

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

(upper line) and MIN (lower line) marks.

• If the coolant is below the MIN

(minimum) level, the coolant level must be adjusted. For more

information, see page 127.

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

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.

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.

(1.5 mm), that is, if the pad has worn down to the bottom of the grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.

131

Maintenance

Breaking-in New Brake Discs and

Pads

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

Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced as a wheel set. At the front, where two calipers are installed on the same wheel, replace all the brake pads in both calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reduce braking efficiency and may cause an accident.

After replacement brake pads have been mounted, ride with extreme caution until the new pads have broken in.

Brake Pad Wear Compensation

Warning

If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake 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.

Warning

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

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

Disc and brake pad wear is automatically compensated for and has no effect on the brake lever or pedal action. There are no parts that require adjustment on the front and rear brakes.

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

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

200 miles (300 km).

132

Maintenance

Disc Brake Fluid

Warning

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a reduction in braking efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake fluid in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one which has been previously opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades of brake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brake 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

(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.

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.

143

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 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.

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.

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 miles (160 accustomed to the new handling characteristics.

hours after mounting, the tire 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 traveled after mounting.

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.

144

Maintenance

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 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

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

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 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

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.

145

Maintenance

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.

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 gauge, 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)

Rear 0.12 in (3 mm)

Front 0.08 in (2 mm)

Warning

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

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.

146

Maintenance

Warning

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

When tires 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 stability and handling which may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Check the rims for dents or deformation and spokes for looseness and damage. Operation with damaged or defective wheels, spokes or tires is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control and an accident could result.

Always consult your authorized

Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or for a safety inspection of the wheels, spokes and tires.

Maintenance

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.

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.

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

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

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

Keeping the battery fully charged reduces the likelihood of it freezing in cold conditions. Allowing a battery to freeze will cause serious internal damage to the battery.

Battery Charging

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

Battery Discharge During Storage and Infrequent Use of the

Motorcycle

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

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the meter.

Should the battery voltage fall below

Volts, the battery should be charged.

Warning

The battery contains 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.
