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 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/her 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.

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted 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.

Safety First

Fuel and 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 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.

Helmet and Clothing

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 coloured jacket.

During off-road use (on models

suitable for off-road use), the rider

must always wear appropriate clothing

including trousers and boots.

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.

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

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.

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 licenced to operate

the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle without

a licence is illegal and could lead to

prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to

become licenced 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.

Safety First

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:

- 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.

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

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

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, tyre condition

and weather. Banking to an unsafe

angle may cause instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.
