FOREWORD - 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

(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 235 kg.

Classic Cycles Technical Resources

Foreword - 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 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

Safety Helmet and

Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both

rider and passenger must always

wear a motorcycle safety 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 safety 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.

Foreword - Safety First

Parking Parts and Accessories

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:

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.

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 that 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.

Remember that continued

operation 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 the bank angle

indicator is worn to a minimum of

5 mm in length) will allow the

motorcycle to be banked to an

unsafe angle. Therefore, always

replace the bank angle indicator

pegs when they are worn to 5 mm in

length. Banking to an unsafe angle

may cause instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Ensure all equipment that is

required by law is installed and

functioning correctly. The removal

or alteration of the motorcycle’s

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, collision or fall, it must be

taken to an authorised 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.

Classic Cycles Technical Resources

Foreword - 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 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.
