Owner’s Handbook

Thank you for choosing a Triumph motorcycle. This motorcycle is the product of Triumph’s

use of proven engineering, exhaustive testing, and continuous striving for superior reliability,

safety and performance. Please read this owner’s handbook before riding in order to become

thoroughly familiar with the correct operation of your motorcycle’s controls, its features,

capabilities and limitations.

This owner’s handbook includes safe riding tips, but does not contain all the techniques and

skills necessary to ride a motorcycle safely. Triumph strongly recommends that all riders

undertake the necessary training to ensure safe operation of this motorcycle.

WARNING: This owner’s handbook and all other instructions which are

supplied with your motorcycle should be considered a permanent part of

your motorcycle and should remain with it even if your motorcycle is subsequently

sold.

All riders must read this owner’s handbook and all other instructions which are

supplied with your motorcycle before riding in order to become thoroughly familiar

with the correct operation of your motorcycle’s controls, its features, capabilities

and limitations. Do not lend your motorcycle to others, as riding when not familiar

with your motorcycle’s controls, features, capabilities and limitations can lead to

an accident.

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 fitted with a sidecar. Fitting 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 own, or a rider

and one passenger (subject to a

passenger seat being fitted).

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage

must not exceed the maximum load

limit of 200 kg (440 lbs).

FUEL & EXHAUST FUMES

WARNING: PETROL IS

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on the

engine, exhaust pipes or silencers

when refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or

allowed to get into the eyes, seek

immediate medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be

immediately washed off with soap

and water and clothing contaminated

with petrol should immediately be

removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with petrol.

WARNING: Never start 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.

Foreword -- Safety First

Page 4

CRASH HELMET & CLOTHING

WARNING: When riding the

motorcycle both rider and

passenger must always wear a crash

helmet, eye protection, gloves,

trousers (close fitting around the

knee and ankle) and a brightly

coloured jacket. Brightly coloured

clothing will considerably increase a

rider’s (or passenger’s) visibility to

other operators of road vehicles.

Although full protection is not

possible, wearing correct protective

clothing can reduce the risk of injury

when riding.

WARNING: A crash helmet is

one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers

protection against head injuries. You

and your passenger’s crash helmet

should be carefully chosen and

should fit you or your passenger’s

head comfortably and securely. A

brightly coloured helmet will increase

a rider’s (or passenger’s) visibility to

other operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full

face helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved

goggles to help vision and to protect

your eyes.

HANDLEBARS & 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 his hands from

the handlebars, resulting in loss of

control or an accident.

WARNING: Footrests

provided must always be

used by rider and passenger 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.

Foreword -- Safety First

Page 5

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 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 licence is illegal

and could lead to prosecution. In

addition, operation without a licence

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.

WARNING: This Triumph

motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits

for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high

speeds can be potentially dangerous

since the time available to react to

given traffic situations is greatly

reduced as road speed increases.

Always reduce speed in potentially

hazardous driving conditions such as

bad weather or heavy traffic.

WARNING: 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:

SWind draft from passing vehicles.

SUneven or holed road surfaces.

SBad weather.

SRider 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.

Foreword -- Safety First

Page 6

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 unauthorised or

untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always

remember the following:--

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.

PARTS & ACCESSORIES

WARNING: Owners should

be aware that the only

approved parts, accessories and

conversions for any Triumph

motorcycle are those which carry

official Triumph approval and are

fitted to the motorcycle by an

authorised dealer.

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by the

fitting of non--approved parts,

accessories or conversions or the

fitting of any approved parts,

accessories or conversions by

non--approved personnel.

In particular, it is extremely

hazardous to fit or replace parts or

accessories whose fitting requires

the dismantling of, or addition to,

either the electrical or fuel systems

and any such modification could

cause a safety hazard.

The fitting of any non--approved

parts, accessories or conversions

may adversely affect the handling,

stability or other aspect of the

motorcycle operation which may

result in an accident causing injury or

death.

Foreword -- Safety First

MAINTENANCE & EQUIPMENT

WARNING: Consult your

authorised Triumph dealer

whenever there is doubt as to the

correct or safe operation of this

Triumph motorcycle.

of an incorrectly performing

motorcycle may aggravate a fault and

may also prejudice safety.

WARNING: Use of a

motorcycle with bank angle

indicators worn beyond the maximum

limit (when 10 mm or more of the

radiused tip of either front footrest is

worn away) will allow the motorcycle

to be banked to an unsafe angle.

Never change the setting of the brake

pedal adjustment pushrod as this

may adversely affect the bank angle at

which the bank angle indicators

contact the ground.

Banking to an unsafe angle may

cause instability, loss of control and

an accident causing injury or death.

WARNING: Ensure all

equipment which is required

by law is installed and functioning

correctly.

The removal or alteration of the

motorcycles lights, silencers,

emission or noise control systems

can violate the law.

Incorrect or improper modification

may adversely affect the handling,

stability or other aspect of the

motorcycle operation which may

result in an accident causing injury or

death.

WARNING: If the motorcycle

is involved in an accident or

collision it must be taken to an

authorised Triumph dealer for

inspection and repair. Any accident

can cause damage to the motorcycle

which, if not correctly repaired, may

cause a second accident which may

result in injury or death.
