Foreword — Safety First
FOREWORD — SAFETY FIRST
The Motorcycle Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
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
440 lbf ft (200 kg).
Warning
GASOLINE 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 gasoline on the
engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when
refuelling.
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.

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 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.
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.

Foreword — Safety First
Note:
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.

Foundation. All rights reserved. Used with
permission.
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 fitted with
spark arresters. Operation in forests, brush
or grass areas may violate state and local
laws and regulations.

Foreword — Safety First
Helmet and Clothing
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
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, boots, eye protection,
gloves, 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..

Foreword — Safety First
Handlebars and 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 motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always use
the footrests provided, 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
Parking Parts and Accessories
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.
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.
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 authorized dealer.
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 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
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit (when 0.40 in (10 mm) of the bank
indicator remains) 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
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.

Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light
for the engine management
system illuminates when the
ignition is switched on (to indicate that it is
working) but should not become illuminated
when the engine is running.
If the malfunction indicator light becomes
illuminated when the engine is running, this
indicates that a fault has occurred in one or
more of the systems controlled by the engine
management system. In such circumstances,
the engine management system will switch to
‘limp-home’ mode so that the journey may
be completed, if the fault is not so severe that
the engine will not run.

General Information
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Indicator Light
(Only on models equipped with ABS)
The ABS indicator light
illuminates to show that the
ABS function is not available.
Illumination is normal after engine start-up,
and until the motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unless there is a
fault, it should not illuminate again until the
engine is restarted.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated at
any other time while riding it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
See also Braking on page 51.
Alarm Indicator Light
The alarm light will illuminate
when the conditions described in
the accessory alarm instructions
are met.
The light does not function unless an alarm is
fitted.
Ignition Key
1. Key number tag
In addition to operating the steering lock/
ignition switch, the ignition key is required to
operate the seat lock and fuel tank cap.
When the motorcycle is delivered from the
factory, two keys are supplied together with a
small tag bearing the key number. Make a
note of the key number and store the spare
key and key number tag in a safe place away
from the motorcycle.
Your authorized Triumph dealer can supply a
replacement key cut from details of the key
number or can cut a new key using the
original as a master.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a non
ABS braking system. Do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with the
indicator light illuminated. Contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as

General Information
Fuel Requirement/Refuelling
Fuel Grade
This Triumph motorcycle is designed to run
on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI
octane rating (R+M)/2 of 89 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).
Note:
• 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.
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.
Caution
In all countries except Australia, Hong
Kong, New Zealand, and South Africa, the
exhaust system is fitted with catalytic
converters to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converters 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 ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
Caution
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in most
countries, states or territories. Use of
leaded fuel will damage the catalytic
converter (if fitted).

General Information
Methanol
Caution
Fuels containing methanol should not be
used as damage to components in the fuel
system can be caused by contact with
methanol.
Caution
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.
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated with
refuelling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling 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 refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
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.

Filling the Fuel Tank
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above
the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure
there is enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands
through absorption of heat from the engine
or from direct sunlight.

General Information
After refuelling, the fuel gauge and range to
empty information will be updated only while
riding the motorcycle.
Depending on the riding style, this could take
approximately 5 minutes.
Stand
Side Stand
1. Side stand
The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand
on which the motorcycle can be parked.
Note:
• When using the side stand, always
turn the handlebars fully to the left
and leave the motorcycle in first
gear.
Whenever the side stand is used before
riding, always ensure that the stand is fully up
after first sitting on the motorcycle.
For instructions on safe parking, refer to the
‘How to Ride the Motorcycle’ section.
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the
spillage immediately and dispose of the
materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any other
part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuel
leak or spillage, or any failure to observe
the safety advice given above may lead to
a fire hazard, which could cause damage to
property and injury or death to persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires will
reduce the tire’s ability to grip the road.
This will result in a dangerous riding
condition potentially causing loss of
motorcycle control and an accident. Warning
The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock
system to prevent it from being ridden
with the side stand in the down position.
Never attempt to ride with the side stand
down or interfere with the interlock
mechanism as this will cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

General Information
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle (especially those fitted with a
pannier system) at speeds above the legal
speed limit or at a speed inappropriate for
the circumstances.
Speeds in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h)
should not be attempted on an accessory
equipped motorcycle even where the legal
speed limit permits this. The presence of
accessories will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle
stability may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting
of non-approved accessories, incorrect
loading, worn tires, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather
conditions.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except in
authorized closed-course conditions.
Warning

Global Positioning System
(GPS) Power Socket
A power connector socket for accessory GPS
systems is provided underneath the
instrument assembly, on the cockpit wiring
harness. A universal GPS connector lead is
available from your authorized Triumph
dealer
Breaking-In
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 500 miles (800 kilometers):
• 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 engine speed.
From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to
1500 kilometers):
• Engine speed can gradually be
increased to the rev limit for short
periods.
Both during and after breaking-in has been
completed:
• Do not over-rev 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.

General Information
Safe Operation
Daily Safety Checks
Check the following items each day before
you ride. The time required is minimal, and
these checks will help ensure a safe, reliable
ride.
If any irregularities are found during these
checks, refer to the Maintenance and
Adjustment section or see your authorized
Triumph dealer for the action required to
return the motorcycle to a safe operating
condition.
Check:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks
(page 34).
Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick. Add
correct specification oil as required. No leaks
from the engine or oil cooler (page 70).
Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (page 79).
Tires/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tire/wheel
damage, punctures etc. (page 92).
Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually check that
steering and suspension components, axles,
and all controls are properly tightened or
fastened. Inspect all areas for loose/damaged
fasteners.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose from
lock to lock. No binding of any of the control
cables (page 86).
Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push the
brake pedal to check for correct resistance.
Investigate any lever/pedal where the travel is
excessive before meeting resistance, or if
either control feels spongy in operation
(page 83).
Brake Pads: There should be more than
0.06 in (1.5 mm) of friction material
remaining on all the pads (page 83).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid leakage.
Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX
and MIN marks on both reservoirs
(page 85).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks from
fork seals (page 88).
Throttle: Throttle grip free play
0.08 — 0.12 in (2 — 3 mm). Ensure that the
throttle grip returns to the idle position
without sticking (page 75).
Clutch: Smooth operation and correct cable
free play (page 78).
Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank (when the
engine is cold) (page 72).
Electrical Equipment: All lights and horn
function correctly (page 29).
Engine Stop: Stop switch turns the engine
off (page 48).
Stands: Returns to the fully up position by
spring tension. Return springs not weak or
damaged (page 37).
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every day
before you ride may result in serious
motorcycle damage or an accident causing
serious injury or death.

How to Ride the Motorcycle
To Start the Engine
Check that the engine stop switch is in the
RUN position.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch on.
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the tachometer needle will quickly
sweep from zero to maximum and
then return to zero. The
instrument warning lights will
illuminate and will then go off
(except those which normally
remain on until the engine starts —
see page 27. It is not necessary to
wait for the needle to return to
zero before starting the engine.
• In very cold conditions, part open
the throttle to aid cold starting.
Return it to the closed position
once the engine has started.
Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.
Leaving the throttle fully closed, push the
starter button until the engine starts.
• The motorcycle is equipped with
starter lockout switches. The switches
prevent the electric starter from
operating when the transmission is
not in neutral with the side stand
down.
• If the side stand is extended while
the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in neutral then
the engine will stop regardless of
clutch position.
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 your
motorcycle in the open-air or in an area
with adequate ventilation.
Caution
Do not operate the starter continuously for
more than 5 seconds as the starter motor
will overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between each
operation of the starter to allow for cooling
and recovery of battery power.
Do not let the engine idle for long periods
as this may lead to overheating which will
cause damage to the engine.
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.

How to Ride the Motorcycle
Moving Off
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.
Shifting Gears
1. Gearshift pedal
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 gearshift mechanism is the
‘positive stop’ type. This means
that, for each movement of the
gearshift pedal, you can only select
each gear, one after the other, in
ascending or descending order.
1
cecs
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.
