SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for on-

road use only. It is not suitable for off-

road use.

Off-road operation could lead to loss of

control of the motorcycle resulting in

an accident causing injury or loss of

life.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow

a trailer or be mounted 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 use as

a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on his/her own.

Operation of this motorcycle with a

passenger is dangerous and could lead

to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

The total weight of the rider,

accessories and luggage must not

exceed the maximum load limit of

275 lb (125 kg).

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

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

Never start your engine or let it run for

any length of time in a closed area. The

exhaust fumes are poisonous and may

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short time. Always operate

your motorcycle in the open-air or in

an area with adequate ventilation.

Safety First

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider

and passenger must always wear a

motorcycle helmet, eye protection,

gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting

around the knee and ankle) and a

brightly colored jacket. 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

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.

cbma

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.

Parking

Warning

Always turn off the engine and remove

the ignition key before leaving the

motorcycle unattended. By removing

the key, the risk of use of the

motorcycle by 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.

The engine and exhaust system will be

hot after riding. DO NOT park where

pedestrians, animals and/or children

are likely to touch the motorcycle.

Do not park on soft ground or on a

steeply inclined surface. Parking under

these conditions may cause the

motorcycle to fall over.

For further details, please refer to the

'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of

this owner's handbook.

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 mounted on the

motorcycle by an authorized dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous

to fit 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 fitting

of any approved parts, accessories or

conversions by non-approved personnel.

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.

Warning

Ensure 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

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.

Safety First

Riding

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when

fatigued or under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

Riding when under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs

reduces the rider's ability to maintain

control of the motorcycle and may lead

to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be 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 else-

where in this foreword. Remember, in

an accident, a motorcycle does not give

the same impact protection as a car.

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.

Safety First

Warning

Ensure that you know and respect the

rules of the road. Read and observe

publications such as ‘MOTORCYCLE

SAFETY’, ‘YOU AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE,

RIDING TIPS’ and also read and become

familiar with the contents of the

MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your

state.

Caution

This Triumph motorcycle is not

equipped with spark arresters.

Operation in forests, brush or grass

areas may violate state and local laws

and regulations.

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
