Safety First

The Motorcycle

All Models Except Street Scrambler

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.

Street Scrambler Only

Warning

The motorcycles are designed for on-

road and light off-road use. Light off-

road use includes use on unpaved, dirt

or gravel roads, but does not include

riding on any motocross course,

any off-road competition (such as

motocross or enduro riding), or riding

off-road with a passenger.

Light off-road use does not include

jumping the motorcycle or riding over

obstacles. Do not attempt to jump

over any bumps or obstacles. Do not

attempt to ride over any obstacles.

Extreme off-road use could lead to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

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 and footrests being

fitted).

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage

must not exceed the maximum

load limit stated in the relevant

Specifications section.

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.

Parking

Warning

Always switch 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.

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 fitted

to the motorcycle by an authorised

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.

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.

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.

Maintenance and 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

compromise safety.

Warning

Make sure 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.

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 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.

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.

Safety First

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

Use of a motorcycle with bank angle

indicators worn beyond the maximum

limit will allow the motorcycle to be

banked to an unsafe angle. Therefore,

always replace the bank angle

indicators before they are worn to

their maximum limit.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Details of the bank angle wear limits

can be found in the Maintenance and

Adjustment section.

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.

Warning

When banking and the bank angle

indicator, attached to the rider's

footrest, makes contact with the

ground, the motorcycle is nearing its

bank angle limit. A further increase of

the banking angle is unsafe.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning Lights

Engine Management System

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) 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 engine is running and there is

a fault with the engine management

system the MIL will be illuminated and

the general warning symbol will flash.

In such circumstances, the engine

management system may 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.

Warning

Reduce speed and do not continue to

ride for longer than is necessary with

the MIL illuminated. The fault may

adversely affect engine performance,

exhaust emissions and fuel

consumption.

Reduced engine performance could

cause a dangerous riding condition,

leading to loss of control and an

accident.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified.

Note

If the MIL flashes when the ignition

is switched ON contact an authorised

Triumph dealer as soon as possible to

have the situation rectified. In these

circumstances the engine will not start.

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

With the engine running,

if the engine oil pressure

becomes dangerously low, the

low oil pressure warning light

will illuminate.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the low

oil pressure warning light illuminates.

Do not restart the engine until the

fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from

running the engine when the low oil

pressure warning light is illuminated.

Note

The low oil pressure warning light will

illuminate if the ignition is switched ON

without running the engine.

General Information

High Coolant Temperature Warning

Light

With the engine running,

if the engine coolant temp-

erature becomes dangerously

high, the high coolant

temperature warning light will illuminate.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the

high coolant temperature warning

light illuminates. Do not restart

the engine until the fault has been

rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from

running the engine when the high

coolant temperature warning light is

illuminated.

Engine Immobiliser/Alarm Indicator

Light

This Triumph motorcycle is

fitted with an engine

immobiliser which is activated

when the ignition switch is

turned to the OFF position.

Without Alarm Fitted

When the ignition switch is turned

to the OFF position, the engine

immobiliser/alarm light will flash on and

off for 24 hours to show that the engine

immobiliser is on. When the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position the

engine immobiliser and the indicator

light will be off.

If the indicator light remains on it

indicates that the engine immobiliser

has a malfunction that requires

investigation. Contact an authorised

Triumph dealer as soon as possible to

have the fault checked and rectified.

With Alarm Fitted

The engine immobiliser/alarm light will

only illuminate when the conditions

described in the genuine Triumph

accessory alarm instructions are met.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Warning Light

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake

system will continue to function as a

non-ABS equipped brake system.

Do not continue to ride for longer than

is necessary with the warning light

illuminated.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified. In this situation

braking too hard will cause the wheels

to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

General Information

Note

Traction control will not function if

there is a malfunction with the ABS.

The warning lights for the ABS, traction

control and the MIL will be illuminated.

When the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, it is

normal that the ABS warning

light will flash on and off. The

light will continue to flash after engine

start-up until the motorcycle first

reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph

(10 km/h) when it will go off.

The warning light will not illuminate

again until the engine is restarted

unless there is a fault, or the ABS is

disabled by the rider (Street Scrambler

only).

If the ABS is disabled by the rider

(Street Scrambler only) then the

warning light will illuminate until the

ABS is enabled again.

If there is a fault with the ABS system

the warning light will be illuminated and

the general warning symbol will flash.

Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light

The Traction Control (TC)

indicator light is used to

indicate that the traction

control system is active and is

working to limit rear wheel slip during

periods of hard acceleration or under

wet or slippery road conditions.

Warning

If the traction control is not

functioning, care must be taken when

accelerating and cornering on wet/

slippery road surfaces to avoid rear

wheel spin.

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with the engine

management system Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) and traction

control warning lights illuminated.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked.

Hard acceleration and cornering in this

situation may cause the rear wheel

to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

If traction control is switched on:

• Under normal riding conditions the

TC indicator light will remain off.

• The TC indicator light will flash

rapidly when the traction control

system is working to limit rear

wheel slip during periods of hard

acceleration or under wet or

slippery road conditions.

If traction control is switched off:

• The TC indicator light will not

illuminate. Instead the TC disabled

warning light will be illuminated.

Note

Traction control will not function if there

is a malfunction with the ABS system.

The warning lights for the ABS, traction

control and the MIL will be illuminated.

General Information

Traction Control (TC) Disabled

Warning Light

may cause damage to motorcycle

components.

General Information

Traction Control (TC)

Warning

Traction control is not a substitute for

riding appropriately for the prevailing

road and weather conditions.

The traction control cannot prevent

loss of traction due to:

- Excessive speed when entering turns

- Accelerating at a sharp lean angle

- Braking

- Traction control cannot prevent the

front wheel from slipping.

Failure to observe any of the above

may result in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Traction control helps to maintain

traction when accelerating on wet/

slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect

that the rear wheel is losing traction

(slipping), the traction control system

will engage and alter the engine power

until traction to the rear wheel has been

restored. The traction control warning

light will flash while it is engaged and

the rider may notice a change to the

sound of the engine.

Note

Traction control will not function if there

is a malfunction with the ABS system.

The warning lights for the ABS, traction

control and the MIL will be illuminated.

Note

Street Scrambler Only

Traction control is switched off when in

OFF ROAD mode.

Traction Control Settings

Warning

Do not attempt to adjust the traction

control settings while the motorcycle

is in motion as this may lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If the traction control is disabled,

the motorcycle will handle as normal

but without traction control. In this

situation accelerating too hard on

wet/slippery road surfaces may cause

the rear wheel to slip, and may result

in loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

The traction control can be set to one of

the following conditions:

Optimal traction control setting

for road use, allows minimal rear

wheel slip.

OFF

Traction control is turned OFF.

The TC disabled warning light

will be illuminated (see page 37).

Traction control defaults to ON after

the ignition has been switched OFF and

then switched ON again.

General Information

To Disable the Traction Control

Warning

After riding off-road with traction

control disabled, always make sure

that the traction control is enabled

when returning to ride on public roads.

Riding on public roads with the

traction control disabled may, if

accelerating too hard on wet/slippery

road surfaces, cause the rear wheel

to slip resulting in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

To disable the traction control setting:

• Make sure the motorcycle is

stationary and in neutral.

• Turn the ignition to the ON position

and put the engine start/stop

switch in the RUN position.

• Press and release the SCROLL

tyre pressures.

For correct tyre pressures, always

check the tyre pressures when the

tyres are cold using an accurate tyre

pressure gauge.

Use of the TPMS system to set

inflation pressures may lead to

incorrect tyre pressures leading to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

The tyre pressures shown on your

instrument panel indicate the actual

tyre pressure at the time of selecting

the display. This may differ from the

inflation pressure set when the tyres

are cold because tyres become warmer

during riding, causing the air in the tyre

to expand and the inflation pressure to

increase. The cold inflation pressures

specified by Triumph take account of

this.

Only adjust tyre pressures when the

tyres are cold using an accurate tyre

pressure gauge (see page 135). Do not

use the tyre pressure display on the

instruments.

Replacement Tyres

When replacing tyres, always have an

authorised Triumph dealer fit your tyres

and make sure they are aware that

tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the

wheels.

Fuel Grade

Triumph motorcycles are designed to

use unleaded fuel and will give optimum

performance if the correct grade of fuel

is used. Always use unleaded fuel with a

minimum octane rating of 91 RON.

Ethanol

In Europe, Triumph motorcycles are

compatible with Ethanol E5 and E10 (5%

and 10% Ethanol) unleaded fuel.

In all other markets Ethanol up to E25

(25% Ethanol) may be used.

Engine Calibration

In certain circumstances engine

calibration may be required. Always

refer to your authorised Triumph dealer.

Caution

The motorcycle can be permanently

damaged if it is allowed to operate

with the incorrect grade of fuel or

incorrect engine calibration.

Always make sure the fuel used is of

the correct grade and quality.

Damage caused by using the

incorrect fuel or engine calibration

is not considered a manufacturing

defect and will not be covered under

warranty.

Caution

The exhaust system for this

motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic

converter to help reduce exhaust

emission levels.

Use of leaded fuel will damage the

catalytic converter. In addition,

the catalytic converter 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 make sure you have adequate

fuel for your journey.

Note

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some

countries, states or territories.

General Information

Refuelling

Warning

To help reduce hazards associated

with refuelling, always observe the

following fuel safety instructions:

- Petrol (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.

- Because petrol (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.

Fuel Tank Cap

1. Fuel tank cap

To open the fuel tank cap:

• Remove the cap cover or lift up the

cap flap.

• Insert the key into the lock and turn

the key clockwise.

• Rotate the cap anticlockwise and lift

clear of the tank filler neck.

To close and lock the fuel tank cap:

• Align the cap to the tank filler neck

and rotate the cap clockwise until

the cap seals against the filler neck.

• In the fully closed position, a ratchet

mechanism prevents overtightening

of the cap by allowing the outer part

of the cap to turn independently of

the internal part.

• Turn the key anticlockwise to lock

and withdraw the key.

• Replace the cap cover or securely

close the cap flap.

General Information

Filling the Fuel Tank

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, tyres 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 tyres

will reduce the tyres’ ability to grip the

road. This will result in a dangerous

riding condition potentially causing

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Caution

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty

conditions where airborne material can

contaminate the fuel.

Contaminated fuel may cause damage

to fuel system components.

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 make sure 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.

1. Fuel filler neck

2. Maximum fuel level

After refuelling always check that the

fuel filler cap is correctly closed.

• Remove the cap.

• Plug the relevant USB adaptor cable

into the socket. Adaptor cables are

not supplied with the motorcycle.

General Information

Running-In

R.P.M.

Running-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 running-in will

ensure lower exhaust emissions, and

will optimise performance, fuel economy

and longevity of the engine and other

motorcycle components.

During the first 500 miles (800 km):

• 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 speed.

From 500 to 1,000 miles (800 to

1,500 km):

• Engine speed can gradually be

increased to the rev limit for short

periods.

Both during and after running-in has

been completed:

• Do not overrev the engine when

cold;

• Do not let the engine labour. Always

downshift before the engine begins

to 'struggle';

• Do not ride with engine speeds

unnecessarily high. Changing up a

gear helps reduce fuel consumption,

reduces noise and helps to protect

the environment.

General Information

Daily Safety Checks

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.

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

authorised Triumph dealer for the action

required to return the motorcycle to a

safe operating condition.

Check:

Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel

leaks (see page 65).

Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick

or shown in sight glass. Add correct

specification oil as required. No leaks

from the engine or oil cooler (see

page 101).

Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (see

page 111).

Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation

pressures (when cold). Tread depth/

wear, tyre/wheel damage, loose/broken

spokes, punctures etc. (see page 134).

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 fixings.

Steering Action: Smooth but not loose

from lock to lock. No binding of any of

the control cables (see page 126).

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 (see page 115).

Brake Pads: Check that the correct

amount of friction material is remaining

on all the brake pads (see page 115).

Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid

leakage. Brake fluid levels must be

between the MAX and MIN marks on

both reservoirs (see page 117).

Front Forks: Smooth action. No fork oil

leakage (see page 129).

Throttle: Make sure that the throttle

grip returns to the idle position without

sticking (see page 108).

Clutch: Smooth operation and correct

cable free play (see page 109).

Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the

coolant level in the expansion tank

(when the engine is cold) (see page 105).

Electrical Equipment: All lights and horn

function correctly (see page 57).

Engine Stop: Engine start/stop switch

turns the engine OFF when the switch

is moved to the STOP position (see

page 55).

Stands: Returns to the fully up position

by spring tension. Return springs not

weak or damaged (see page 66).

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Stopping the Engine

Caution

The engine should normally be

stopped by turning the ignition switch

to the OFF position.

The engine stop switch is for

emergency use only.

Do not leave the ignition switched on

with the engine stopped. Electrical

damage may result.

To stop the engine:

• Close the throttle completely.

• Select neutral.

• Turn the ignition switch off.

• Select first gear.

• Position the motorcycle on a firm,

level surface with the side stand

(see page 87).

• Lock the steering (see page 53).

Starting the Engine

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.

Caution

Do not operate the starter

continuously for more than five

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.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Caution Continued

Running the engine with low oil

pressure will cause severe engine

damage.

To start the engine:

• Check that the engine stop switch is

in the RUN position.

• Make sure the transmission is in

neutral.

• Turn the ignition switch on.

Note

When the ignition is switched on, the

instrument warning lights will illuminate

and will then go off (except those which

normally remain on until the engine

starts, see the Warning Lights section).

• 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 whilst

the engine is running, and the

transmission is not in neutral then

the engine will stop regardless of

the clutch lever position.

Moving Off

To move the motorcycle:

• 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.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Changing Gears

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 tyre 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 change 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.

Changing down should be done such

that low engine speeds will be ensured.

1. Gear change pedal (6 speed shown)

To change gear:

• Close the throttle while pulling in the

clutch lever.

• Change into the next higher or

lower gear.

• Open the throttle part way, while

releasing the clutch lever. Always

use the clutch when changing gear.

Note

The gear change mechanism is the

'positive stop' type. This means that,

for each movement of the gear change

pedal, you can only select each gear,

one after the other, in ascending or

descending order.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Braking

1. Front brake lever

1. Rear brake pedal

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

- Close the throttle completely,

leaving the clutch engaged to allow

the engine to help slow down the

motorcycle.

- Change down one gear at a time

such that the transmission is in first

gear when the motorcycle comes to

a complete stop.

- When stopping, always apply both

brakes at the same time. Normally

the front brake should be applied a

little more than the rear.

- Change down or fully disengage

the clutch as necessary to keep the

engine from stalling.

- Never lock the brakes, as this

may cause loss of control of the

motorcycle and an accident.

Warning

For emergency braking, disregard

down changing, and concentrate on

applying the front and rear brakes

as hard as possible without skidding.

Riders should practice emergency

braking in a traffic-free area.

Triumph strongly recommends that

all riders take a course of instruction,

which includes advice on safe brake

operation. Incorrect brake technique

could result in loss of control and an

accident.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

For your safety, always exercise

extreme caution when braking,

accelerating or turning as any

incautious action can cause loss of

control and an accident. Independent

use of the front or rear brakes

reduces overall braking performance.

Extreme braking may cause either

wheel to lock, reducing control of the

motorcycle and causing an accident

(see ABS warnings below).

When possible, reduce speed or brake

before entering a turn as closing the

throttle or braking in mid-turn may

cause wheel slip leading to loss of

control and an accident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions,

or on loose surfaces, the ability to

manoeuvre and stop will be reduced.

All of your actions should be smooth

under these conditions. Sudden

acceleration, braking or turning may

cause loss of control and an accident.

Warning

When descending a long, steep

gradient or mountain pass, make use

of the engine's braking effect by down

changing and use both front and rear

brakes intermittently.

Continuous brake application or use of

the rear brake only can overheat the

brakes and reduce their effectiveness

leading to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

Riding with your foot on the brake

pedal or your hands on the brake lever

may actuate the brake light, giving a

false indication to other road users.

It may also overheat the brake,

reducing braking effectiveness leading

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Do not coast with the engine switched

off, and do not tow the motorcycle.

The transmission is pressure

lubricated only when the engine is

running.

Inadequate lubrication may cause

damage or seizure of the transmission,

which can lead to sudden loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Warning

ABS prevents the wheels from locking,

therefore maximising the effectiveness

of the braking system in emergencies

and when riding on slippery surfaces.

The potentially shorter braking

distances ABS allows under certain

conditions are not a substitute for

good riding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

Never ride without due care and

attention and always reduce speed

in consideration of weather, road and

traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the

brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will

not be able to counteract the weight

and momentum of the motorcycle.

This can result in loss of control and

an accident.

Under some circumstances it is

possible that a motorcycle equipped

with ABS may require a longer

stopping distance.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning or has

been disabled (Street Scrambler only),

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 warning light

illuminated. In the event of a fault,

contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified.

Warning Continued

In this situation, braking too hard will

cause the wheels to lock resulting

in loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

After riding off-road with ABS

disabled, always make sure that the

ABS is enabled when returning to ride

on public roads.

Riding on public roads with the ABS

disabled will, if braking too hard, cause

the wheels to lock resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Note

The ABS operation may feel like a harder

pedal pressure or a pulsation of the

brake lever and pedal.

The ABS is not an integrated braking

system and does not control both the

front and rear brake at the same time

so this pulsation may be felt in the lever,

the pedal or both.

The ABS may be activated by sudden

upward or downward changes in the

road surface.

ABS Warning Light

When the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, it is

normal that the ABS warning

light will flash on and off. The

light will continue to flash after engine

start-up until the motorcycle first

reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph

(10 km/h) when it will go off.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

The warning light will not illuminate

again until the engine is restarted

unless there is a fault, or the ABS is

disabled by the rider (Street Scrambler

only).

If the ABS is disabled by the rider

(Street Scrambler only) then the

warning light will illuminate until the

ABS is enabled again.

If there is a fault with the ABS system

the warning light will be illuminated and

the general warning symbol will flash.

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminate

when the rear wheel is driven at high

speed for more than 30 seconds when

the motorcycle is on a stand. This

reaction is normal.

When the ignition is switched off

and the motorcycle is restarted, the

warning light will illuminate until the

motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding

19 mph (30 km/h).

Warning

The ABS system operates by

comparing the relative speed of the

front and rear wheels.

Use of non-recommended tyres can

affect wheel speed and cause the ABS

function not to operate, potentially

leading to loss of control and an

accident in conditions where the ABS

would normally function.

Parking

Warning

Do not park on a soft or steeply

inclined surface.

Parking under these conditions may

cause the motorcycle to fall over

causing damage to property and

personal injury.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can

be explosive under certain conditions.

If parking inside a garage or other

structure, be sure it is well ventilated

and the motorcycle is not close to

any source of flame or sparks. This

includes any appliance with a pilot

light.

Failure to follow the above advice may

cause a fire resulting in damage to

property or personal injury.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

The engine and exhaust system will be

hot after riding.

DO NOT park where pedestrians

and children are likely to touch the

motorcycle.

Touching any part of the engine or

exhaust system when hot may cause

unprotected skin to become burnt.

To park the motorcycle:

• Select neutral and turn the ignition

switch to the OFF position.

• Lock the steering to help prevent

theft.

• Always park on a firm, level surface

to prevent the motorcycle from

falling.

• When parking on a hill, always

park facing uphill to prevent the

motorcycle from rolling off the

stand. Engage first gear to prevent

the motorcycle from moving.

• On a lateral (sideways) incline,

always park such that the incline

naturally pushes the motorcycle

towards the sidestand.

• Do not park on a lateral (sideways)

incline of greater than 6° and never

park facing downhill.

• Make sure that the side stand is

fully retracted before riding off.

• Do not leave the switch in the P

position for long periods of time as

this will discharge the battery.

Note

When parking near traffic at night,

or when parking in a location where

parking lights are required by law, leave

the tail, licence plate and position lights

on by turning the ignition switch to P

(PARK).

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Considerations for High

Speed Operation

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

Only operate this Triumph motorcycle

at high speed in closed-course on-

road competition or on closed-course

racetracks.

High speed operation should only

then be attempted by riders who have

been instructed in the techniques

necessary for high speed riding and

are familiar with the motorcycle's

characteristics in all conditions.

High speed operation in any other

circumstances is dangerous and will

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

The handling characteristics of a

motorcycle at high speed may vary

from those you are familiar with at

legal road speeds.

Do not attempt high speed operation

unless you have received sufficient

training and have the required skills

as a serious accident may result from

incorrect operation.

Warning

The items listed below are extremely

important and must never be

neglected. A problem, which may not

be noticed at normal operating speeds,

may be greatly exaggerated at high

speeds.

General

Make sure that the motorcycle has been

maintained according to the scheduled

maintenance chart.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes

are functioning correctly.

Coolant

Check that the coolant level is at the

upper level line in the expansion tank.

Always check the level with the engine

cold.

Electrical Equipment

Make sure that all electrical equipment

such as the headlight, rear/brake light,

direction indicators and horn all work

correctly.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Engine Oil

Check that the engine oil level is correct.

Make sure that the correct grade and

type of oil is used when topping up.

Drive Chain

Make sure that the drive chain is

correctly adjusted and lubricated.

Inspect the chain for wear and damage.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased

fuel consumption that will result from

high speed operation.

Caution

In many countries, the exhaust system

for this model is fitted with a catalytic

converter to help reduce exhaust

emission levels.

The catalytic converter 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 make sure you have adequate

fuel for your journey.

Luggage

Make sure that any luggage containers

are closed, locked and securely fitted to

the motorcycle.

Miscellaneous

Visually check that all fixings are tight.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns

smoothly without excessive free play or

tight spots. Make sure that the control

cables do not restrict the steering in

any way.

Tyres

High speed operation is hard on tyres,

and tyres that are in good condition are

crucial to riding safely. Examine their

overall condition, inflate to the correct

pressure (when the tyres are cold),

and check the wheel balance. Securely

fit the valve caps after checking tyre

pressures. Observe the information

given in the maintenance and

specification sections on tyre checking

and tyre safety.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

The addition of accessories and carriage

of additional weight can affect the

motorcycle's handling characteristics

causing changes in stability and

necessitating a reduction in speed. The

following information has been prepared

as a guide to the potential hazards of

adding accessories to a motorcycle and

carrying passengers and additional

loads.

Accessories

Warning

Never ride an accessory equipped

motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a

payload of any kind, at speeds above

80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of

these conditions, speeds in excess

of 80 mph (130 km/h) should not be

attempted even where the legal speed

limit permits this.

The presence of accessories and/

or payload will cause changes in

the stability and handling of the

motorcycle.

Warning Continued

Failure to allow for changes in

motorcycle stability may lead to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

When riding at high speed, always

be aware that various motorcycle

configuration and environmental

factors can adversely affect the

stability of your motorcycle. For

example:

- Incorrectly balanced loads on both

sides of the motorcycle

- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear

suspension settings

- Incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures

- Excessively or unevenly worn tyres

- Side winds and turbulence from

other vehicles

- Loose clothing.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)

absolute limit will be reduced by the

fitting of non-approved accessories,

incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall

motorcycle condition and poor road or

weather conditions.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

Do not install accessories or carry

luggage that impairs the control of the

motorcycle.

Make sure that you have not

adversely affected any lighting

component, road clearance, banking

capability (i.e. lean angle), control

operation, wheel travel, front fork

movement, visibility in any direction, or

any other aspect of the motorcycle's

operation.

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage

must not exceed the maximum load limit

of:

• Bonneville T100 - 210 kg (463 lb)

• Bonneville T100 Bud Ekins -

210 kg (463 lb)

• Bonneville T120 - 210 kg (463 lb)

• Bonneville T120 Ace - 210 kg (463 lb)

• Bonneville T120 Bud Ekins -

210 kg (463 lb)

• Bonneville T120 Diamond -

210 kg (463 lb)

• Speed Twin - 212 kg (467 lb)

• Street Scrambler - 223 kg (492 lb)

• Street Twin - 210 kg (463 lb)

• Thruxton RS - 210 kg (463 lb).

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an

unsafe riding condition leading to an

accident.

Always make sure that any loads

carried are evenly distributed on both

sides of the motorcycle. Make sure

that the load is correctly secured so

that it will not move around while the

motorcycle is in motion.

Evenly distribute the load within each

pannier (if fitted). Pack heavy items at

the bottom and on the inboard side of

the pannier.

Always check the load security

regularly (though not while the

motorcycle is in motion) and make

sure that the load does not extend

beyond the rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the maximum vehicle

loading weight as specified in the

Specifications section.

This maximum loading weight is made

up from the combined weight of the

rider, passenger, any accessories

fitted and any load carried.

For models that have adjustable

suspension settings, make sure that

front and rear spring preload and

damping settings are suitable for the

loading condition of the motorcycle.

Note the maximum permissible payload

for the panniers is stated on a label

inside the pannier.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

If the passenger seat or luggage

rack (if fitted) is used to carry small

objects, they must not exceed a total

maximum weight of:

Bonneville T120 (all models),

Street Scrambler and Street Twin -

3 kg (6 lb)

Speed Twin and Thruxton RS - 2 kg

(4 lb).

This total weight (combined on the

seat and luggage rack if fitted), must

not impair control of the motorcycle,

must be securely attached and must

not extend beyond the rear or sides of

the motorcycle.

Carriage of objects in excess of the

above weights, that are insecure,

impair control or extend beyond the

rear or sides of the motorcycle may

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Even if small objects are correctly

loaded onto the rear seat, the

maximum speed of the motorcycle

must be reduced to 80 mph (130 km/h).

Warning

Never attempt to store any items

between the frame and the fuel tank.

This can restrict the steering and will

cause loss of control leading to an

accident.

Weight attached to the handlebar or

front fork will increase the mass of the

steering assembly and can result in

loss of steering control leading to an

accident.

Passengers

Warning

Your passenger should be instructed

that he or she can cause loss of

motorcycle control by making sudden

movements or by adopting an

incorrect seated position.

The rider should instruct the

passenger as follows:

- It is important that the passenger

sits still while the motorcycle is in

motion and does not interfere with

the operation of the motorcycle.

- To keep his or her feet on the

passenger footrests and to firmly

hold onto the seat strap or the

rider's waist or hips.

- Advise the passenger to lean with

the rider when travelling around

corners and not to lean unless the

rider does so.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning

Do not carry a passenger unless he

or she is tall enough to reach the

footrests provided.

A passenger who is not tall enough

to reach the footrests will be unable

to sit securely on the motorcycle and

may cause instability leading to loss of

control and an accident.

Warning

The handling and braking capabilities

of a motorcycle will be affected by the

presence of a passenger.

The rider must make allowances for

these changes when operating the

motorcycle with a passenger and

should not attempt such operation

unless trained to do so and without

becoming familiar and comfortable

with the changes in motorcycle

operating characteristics that this

brings about.

Motorcycle operation without making

allowances for the presence of a

passenger could lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not carry animals on your

motorcycle.

An animal could make sudden and

unpredictable movements that could

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Scheduled Maintenance

Warning

Triumph Motorcycles cannot accept

any responsibility for damage or injury

resulting from incorrect maintenance

or improper adjustment carried out by

the owner.

Incorrect or neglected maintenance

can lead to a dangerous riding

condition.

Always have an authorised Triumph

dealer carry out the scheduled

maintenance of this motorcycle.

Warning

All maintenance is vitally important

and must not be neglected. Incorrect

maintenance or adjustment may cause

one or more parts of the motorcycle

to malfunction. A malfunctioning

motorcycle may lead to loss of control

and an accident.

Weather, terrain and geographical

location affect maintenance. The

maintenance schedule should be

adjusted to match the particular

environment in which the motorcycle

is used and the demands of the

individual owner.

Special tools, knowledge and training

are required in order to correctly carry

out the maintenance items listed in

the scheduled maintenance chart.

Only an authorised Triumph dealer will

have this knowledge and equipment.

Warning Continued

Incorrect or neglected maintenance

can lead to a dangerous riding

condition. Always have an authorised

Triumph dealer carry out the

scheduled maintenance of this

motorcycle.

To maintain the motorcycle in a safe

and reliable condition, the maintenance

and adjustments outlined in this section

must be carried out as specified in the

schedule of daily checks, and also in line

with the scheduled maintenance chart.

The information that follows describes

the procedures to follow when carrying

out the daily checks and some simple

maintenance and adjustment items.

Scheduled maintenance may be carried

out by your authorised Triumph dealer

in three ways; annual maintenance,

mileage based maintenance or a

combination of both, depending on the

mileage the motorcycle travels each

year.

1. Motorcycles travelling less than

10,000 miles (16,000 km) per year

must be maintained annually. In

addition to this, mileage based

items require maintenance at

their specified intervals, as the

motorcycle reaches this mileage.

2. Motorcycles travelling approximately

Warning

Motorcycle operation with insufficient,

deteriorated, or contaminated engine

oil will cause accelerated engine

wear and may result in engine or

transmission seizure.

Seizure of the engine or transmission

may lead to sudden loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

In order for the engine, transmission,

and clutch to function correctly,

maintain the engine oil at the correct

level, and change the engine oil and

oil filter in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Engine Oil Level Inspection

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.

Warning

If the engine has recently been

running, the exhaust system will be

hot.

Before working on or near the exhaust

system, allow sufficient time for the

exhaust system to cool as touching

any part of a hot exhaust system

could cause burn injuries.

Caution

Running the engine with insufficient

engine oil will cause engine damage.

If the low oil pressure indicator

remains on, stop the engine

immediately and investigate the

situation.

Maintenance and Adjustment

102

To inspect the engine oil level:

• Start the engine and run at idle for

approximately five minutes. Stop the

engine and wait for at least three

minutes to allow the engine oil to

settle.

• Note the engine oil level visible in

the sight glass.

• When correct, engine oil should

be visible in the sight glass at a

point midway between the upper

(maximum) and lower (minimum)

markings on the sight glass.

Note

An accurate indication of the level of

engine oil in the engine is only shown

when the engine is at normal operating

temperature and the motorcycle is

upright (not on the side stand).

• If it is necessary to top up the

engine oil level, remove the filler

plug and add engine oil, a little at a

time, until the level registered in the

sight glass is correct.

Caution

Make sure no foreign matter or

contamination enters the engine

during an engine oil change or top up.

Contamination entering the engine

may lead to engine damage.

• Once the correct level is reached, fit

and tighten the filler plug.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

Warning

Prolonged or repeated contact with

engine oil can lead to skin dryness,

irritation and dermatitis.

Used engine oil contains harmful

contamination that can lead to skin

cancer.

Always wear suitable protective

clothing and avoid skin contact with

used oil.

Warning

The oil may be hot to the touch.

Avoid contact with the hot oil by

wearing suitable protective clothing,

gloves, eye protection, etc.

Contact with hot oil may cause the

skin to be scalded or burned.

Warning

If the engine has recently been

running, the exhaust system will be

hot.

Before working on or near the exhaust

system, allow sufficient time for the

exhaust system to cool as touching

any part of a hot exhaust system

could cause burn injuries.

The engine oil and filter must be

renewed in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Maintenance and Adjustment

103

To change the engine oil and filter:

• Warm up the engine thoroughly

then stop the engine. Secure the

• Unscrew and remove the engine oil

filter using the Triumph service tool

T3880313. Dispose of the old filter in

an environmentally friendly way.

• Prefill the replacement engine oil

filter with new engine oil.

• Apply a smear of clean engine oil to

the sealing ring of the new engine

oil filter. Fit the engine oil filter and

tighten to 10 Nm.

• After the engine oil has completely

drained out, fit a new sealing

washer to the sump plug. Fit and

tighten the plug to 25 Nm.

• Remove the engine oil filler plug.

• Using a suitable funnel, fill the

engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50

semi or fully synthetic motorcycle

engine oil that meets specification

API SH (or higher) and JASO MA,

such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T

10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil,

sold as Castrol Power RS Racing

4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some

countries.

• Do not overfill or exceed the

capacities given in the Specifications

section.

• Start the engine and allow it to idle

for a minimum of 30 seconds.

Caution

Raising the engine speed above idle,

before the engine oil reaches all

parts of the engine can cause engine

damage or seizure.

Only raise engine speed after running

the engine for 30 seconds to allow the

engine oil to circulate fully.

• Make sure that the low oil pressure

warning light extinguishes shortly

after starting.

Maintenance and Adjustment

104

Caution

If the engine oil pressure is too low,

the low oil pressure warning light will

illuminate. If this light stays on when

the engine is running, stop the engine

immediately and investigate the cause.

Running the engine with low oil

pressure will cause engine damage.

• Turn the ignition OFF, check the

engine oil level using the method

previously described, and top up

to between the minimum and

maximum level lines in the sight

glass.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil

Filters

To protect the environment, do not

pour oil on the ground, down sewers

or drains, or into watercourses. Do not

place used oil filters in with general

waste. If in doubt, contact your local

authority.

Engine Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph's high performance fuel

injected engines are designed to

use 10W/40 or 10W/50 semi or fully

synthetic motorcycle engine oil that

meets specification API SH (or higher)

and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power

1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)

engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS

Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in

some countries.

Refer to the chart below for the correct

oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be

used in your riding area.

Oil Viscosity Temperature Range

Do not add any chemical additives

to the engine oil. The engine oil also

lubricates the clutch and any additives

could cause the clutch to slip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-

detergent oil, castor based oils or any

oil not conforming to the required

specification. The use of these oils may

cause instant, severe engine damage.

Make sure that no foreign matter enters

the crankcase during an engine oil

change or top up.

Maintenance and Adjustment

105

Cooling System

To ensure efficient engine cooling, check

the coolant level each day before riding

the motorcycle, and top up the coolant

if the level is low.

Note

A year round, Hybrid Organic Acid

Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or

HOAT) coolant is installed in the cooling

system when the motorcycle leaves the

factory. It is coloured green, contains a

50% solution of ethylene glycol based

antifreeze, and has a freezing point of

-35°C (-31°F).

Corrosion Inhibitors

Warning

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains

corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze

suitable for aluminium engines and

radiators. Always use the coolant in

accordance with the instructions of

the manufacturer.

Coolant that contains anti-freeze and

corrosion inhibitors contains toxic

chemicals that are harmful to the

human body. Never swallow antifreeze

or any of the motorcycle coolant.

Note

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by

Triumph, is premixed and does not need

to be diluted prior to filling or topping up

the cooling system.

To protect the cooling system from

corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor

chemicals in the coolant is essential.

If coolant containing a corrosion

inhibitor is not used, the cooling system

will accumulate rust and scale in the

water jacket and radiator. This will block

the coolant passages, and considerably

reduce the efficiency of the cooling

system.

Coolant Level Inspection

Note

The coolant level should be checked

when the engine is cold (at room or

ambient temperature).

107

Coolant Level Adjustment

Warning

Do not remove the expansion tank or

radiator pressure cap when the engine

is hot.

When the engine is hot, the coolant

inside the radiator will be hot and also

under pressure.

Contact with this hot, pressurised

coolant will cause scalds and skin

damage.

Caution

If hard water is used in the

cooling system, it will cause scale

accumulation in the engine and

radiator and considerably reduce the

efficiency of the cooling system.

Reduced cooling system efficiency

may cause the engine to overheat and

suffer severe damage.

Note

If the coolant level is being checked

because the coolant has overheated,

also check the level in the radiator and

top up if necessary.

In an emergency, distilled water can be

added to the cooling system. However,

the coolant must then be drained and

replenished with HD4X Hybrid OAT

coolant as soon as possible.

Radiator and Hoses

Warning

The fan operates automatically when

the engine is running.

Always keep hands and clothing away

from the fan.

Contact with the rotating fan may

cause an accident and/or personal

injury.

Caution

Using high pressure water sprays,

such as from a car wash facility or

household pressure washer, can

damage the radiator fins, cause leaks

and impair the radiator's efficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow

through the radiator by installing

unauthorised accessories, either in

front of the radiator or behind the

cooling fan.

Interference with the radiator airflow

can cause overheating, potentially

resulting in engine damage.

Check the radiator hoses for cracks

or deterioration, and tension clips for

tightness in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements. Have your

authorised Triumph dealer replace any

defective items.

Check the radiator grille and fins for

obstructions by insects, leaves or

mud. Clean off any obstructions with a

stream of low pressure water.

Throttle Control

Warning

Always be alert for changes in the

'feel' of the throttle control and have

the throttle system checked by an

authorised Triumph dealer if any

changes are detected.

Changes can be due to wear in the

mechanism, which could lead to a

sticking throttle control.

A sticking or stuck throttle control will

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Throttle Inspection

Warning

Use of the motorcycle with a sticking

or damaged throttle control will

interfere with the throttle function

resulting in loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

To avoid continued use of a sticking or

damaged throttle control, always have

it checked by your authorised Triumph

dealer.

Maintenance and Adjustment

109

To inspect the throttle:

• Check that the throttle opens

smoothly, without undue force

and that it closes without sticking.

Have your authorised Triumph

dealer check the throttle system if

a problem is detected or any doubt

exists.

• If there is an incorrect amount of

free play, Triumph recommends that

you have your authorised Triumph

dealer investigate.

• Check that there is 1 - 2 mm of

throttle grip free play when lightly

turning the throttle grip back and

forth.

Clutch

1. Clutch lever

2. 2 - 3 mm

The motorcycle is equipped with a

cable-operated clutch.

If the clutch lever has excessive free

play, the clutch may not disengage fully.

This will cause difficulty in changing

gear and selecting neutral. This may

cause the engine to stall and make the

motorcycle difficult to control.

Conversely, if the clutch lever has

insufficient free play the clutch may

not engage fully, causing the clutch to

slip, which will reduce performance and

cause premature clutch wear.

Clutch lever free play must be

checked in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Clutch Inspection

Check that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch

lever free play at the lever.

If there is an incorrect amount of free

play, adjustments must be made.

Drive Chain

Warning

A loose or worn chain, or a chain that

breaks or jumps off the sprockets

could catch on the engine sprocket or

lock the rear wheel.

A chain that snags on the engine

sprocket will injure the rider and lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Similarly, locking the rear wheel will

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

For safety and to prevent excessive

wear the drive chain must be checked,

adjusted and lubricated in accordance

with the scheduled maintenance

requirements. Checking, adjustment and

lubrication must be carried out more

frequently for extreme conditions such

as high speed riding, salty or heavily

gritted roads.

If the chain is badly worn or incorrectly

adjusted (either too loose or too tight)

the chain could jump off the sprockets

or break. Therefore, always replace

worn or damaged chains using genuine

Triumph parts supplied by an authorised

Triumph dealer.

Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles

(300 km) and also after riding in wet

weather, on wet roads, or any time that

the chain appears dry.

To lubricate the drive chain:

• Use the special drive chain

lubricant as recommended in the

Specifications section.

• Apply lubricant to the sides of the

rollers then allow the motorcycle

to stand unused for at least eight

hours (overnight is ideal). This will

allow the lubricant to penetrate to

the drive chain O-rings etc.

• Before riding, wipe off any excess

lubricant.

• If the drive chain is especially dirty,

clean first and then apply lubricant

as mentioned above.

Caution

Do not use a pressure washer to

clean the drive chain as this may

cause damage to the drive chain

components.

Drive Chain Free Movement

Inspection

Warning

Before starting work, make sure

the motorcycle is stabilised and

adequately supported.

This will help prevent it from falling

and causing personal injury and/or

damage to the motorcycle.

1. Maximum movement position

To inspect the drive chain free

movement:

• Place the motorcycle on a level

surface and hold it in an upright

position with no weight on it.

• Rotate the rear wheel by pushing

the motorcycle to find the position

where the drive chain is tightest,

and measure the vertical movement

of the drive chain midway between

the sprockets.

• Loosen the wheel spindle nut.

• Loosen the lock nuts on both the

left hand and right hand drive chain

adjuster bolts.

• Move both adjusters by an equal

amount using the adjuster markings

as a guideline.

• Turn the adjuster bolts clockwise to

increase drive chain free movement

and anticlockwise to reduce drive

chain free movement.

• When the correct amount of drive

chain free movement has been set,

push the wheel into firm contact

with the adjusters.

Maintenance and Adjustment

113

• Make sure the same adjuster

marking is aligned with the spindle

adjuster on both sides of the

swinging arm.

• Tighten both adjuster lock nuts to

20 Nm and the rear wheel spindle

nut to 110 Nm.

• Repeat the drive chain adjustment

check. Readjust if necessary.

Warning

Operation of the motorcycle with

insecure adjuster lock nuts or a

loose wheel spindle may result in

impaired stability and handling of the

motorcycle.

This impaired stability and handling

may lead to loss of control or an

accident.

• Check the rear brake effectiveness.

Rectify if necessary.

Warning

It is dangerous to operate the

motorcycle with defective brakes; you

must have your authorised Triumph

dealer take remedial action before you

attempt to ride the motorcycle again.

Failure to take remedial action may

reduce braking efficiency leading

to loss of motorcycle control or an

accident.

Drive Chain and Sprocket Wear

Inspection

Warning

Never neglect drive chain maintenance

and always have drive chains installed

by an authorised Triumph dealer.

Use a genuine Triumph supplied drive

chain as specified in the Triumph Parts

Catalogue.

The use of non-approved drive chains

may result in a broken drive chain or

may cause the drive chain to jump

off the sprockets leading to loss of

motorcycle control or an accident.

Caution

If the sprockets are found to be worn,

always replace the sprockets and drive

chain together.

Replacing worn sprockets without also

replacing the drive chain will lead to

premature wear of the new sprockets.

10-20

1. Measure across 20 links

2. Weight

Maintenance and Adjustment

114

To inspect the drive chain and sprocket

wear:

• Remove the drive chain guard.

• Stretch the drive chain taut by

hanging a 10 - 20 kg (20 - 40 lb)

weight on the drive chain.

• Measure the length of 20 links on

the straight part of the drive chain

from pin centre of the 1st pin to the

pin centre of the 21st pin. Since the

drive chain may wear unevenly, take

measurements in several places.

• If the length exceeds the maximum

service limit of 320 mm, the drive

chain must be replaced.

• Rotate the rear wheel and inspect

the drive chain for damaged rollers,

and loose pins and links.

• Also inspect the sprockets for

unevenly or excessively worn or

damaged teeth.

Note

The illustration shows wear on

sprockets mounted on the left hand side

of the motorcycle.

For sprockets mounted on the right

hand side of the motorcycle, the wear is

on the opposite side of the tooth.

• If there is any irregularity, have the

drive chain and/or the sprockets

replaced by an authorised Triumph

dealer.

• Refit the drive chain guard and

tighten the fixings to 9 Nm.

Brakes

Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced

as a wheel set. At the front, where two

calipers are fitted on the same wheel,

replace all the brake pads in both

calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reduce

braking efficiency and may cause an

accident.

After replacement brake pads have

been fitted, ride with extreme caution

until the new pads have 'broken in'.

Brake pads must be inspected

in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements and replaced

if worn to, or beyond the minimum

service thickness.

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and

Discs

Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced

as a wheel set. At the front, where two

calipers are fitted on the same wheel,

replace all the brake pads in both

calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reduce

braking efficiency and may cause an

accident.

After replacement brake pads have

been fitted, ride with extreme caution

until the new pads have 'broken in'.

New brake discs and pads require

a period of careful breaking-in that

will optimise the performance and

longevity of the discs and pads. The

recommended distance for breaking-

in new pads and discs is 200 miles

(300 km).

During this period, avoid extreme

braking, ride with caution and allow for

greater braking distances.

Brake Pad Wear Compensation

Warning

If the brake lever or pedal feels soft

when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal

travel becomes excessive, there may

be air in the brake pipes and hoses or

the brakes may be defective.

It is dangerous to operate the

motorcycle under such conditions and

your authorised Triumph dealer must

rectify the fault before riding.

Riding with defective brakes may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Disc and brake pad wear is

automatically compensated for and has

no effect on the brake lever or pedal

action. There are no parts that require

adjustment on the front and rear

brakes.

Maintenance and Adjustment

117

Disc Brake Fluid

Warning

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which

means it will absorb moisture from the

air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly

reduce the boiling point of the brake

fluid causing a reduction in braking

efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake

fluid in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a

sealed container and never use fluid

from an unsealed container or from

one which has been previously opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades

of brake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brake

fittings, seals and joints and also

check the brake hoses for splits,

deterioration and damage.

Always rectify any faults before riding.

Failure to observe and act upon any

of these items may cause a dangerous

riding condition leading to loss of

control and an accident.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake

system will continue to function as a

non-ABS equipped brake system.

In this situation, braking too hard will

cause the wheels to lock resulting in

loss of control and an accident.

Reduce speed and do not continue to

ride for longer than is necessary with

the indicator light illuminated. Contact

an authorised Triumph dealer as soon

as possible to have the fault checked

and rectified.

Inspect the level of brake fluid in

both reservoirs and change the brake

fluid in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements. Use only

DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the

Specification section. The brake fluid

must also be changed if it becomes,

or is suspected of having become

contaminated with moisture or any

other contaminants.

Note

A special tool is required to bleed the

ABS braking system. Contact your

authorised Triumph dealer when the

brake fluid needs renewing or the

hydraulic system requires maintenance.

Tyres

This motorcycle is equipped with spoked

wheels which require a tyre suitable for

use with an inner tube.

Warning

Failure to use an inner tube in a

spoked wheel will cause deflation of

the tyre resulting in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

Inner tubes must only be used on

motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels

and with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.

Some brands of approved tyres

marked 'TUBELESS' may be suitable for

use with an inner tube. Where this is

the case, the tyre wall will be marked

with text permitting the fitment of an

inner tube (see illustration below).

Warning Continued

Use of an inner tube with a tyre

marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked

as suitable for use with an inner

tube, or use of an inner tube on an

alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE FOR

TUBELESS TYRES' will cause deflation

of the tyre resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Tyre Inflation Pressures

Warning

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause

abnormal tread wear and instability

problems that may lead to loss of

control and an accident.

Under inflation may result in the tyre

slipping on, or coming off the rim.

Overinflation will cause instability and

accelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous as they

may cause loss of control leading to

an accident.

Correct inflation pressure will provide

maximum stability, rider comfort and

tyre life. Always check tyre pressures

before riding when the tyres are cold.

Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if

necessary. See the Specification section

for details of the correct inflation

pressures.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) (if fitted)

Caution

An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel

rim to indicate the position of the tyre

pressure sensor.

Care must be taken when replacing

the tyres to prevent any damage to

the tyre pressure sensors.

Always have your tyres fitted by your

authorised Triumph dealer and inform

them that tyre pressure sensors are

fitted to the wheels.

Caution

Do not use anti puncture fluid or any

other item likely to obstruct air flow

to the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any

blockage to the air pressure orifice of

the TPMS sensor during operation will

cause the sensor to become blocked,

causing irreparable damage to the

TPMS sensor assembly.

Damage caused by the use of

anti puncture fluid or incorrect

maintenance is not considered a

manufacturing defect and will not be

covered under warranty.

Always have your tyres fitted by your

authorised Triumph dealer and inform

them that tyre pressure sensors are

fitted to the wheels.

The tyre pressures shown on your

instruments indicate the actual tyre

pressure at the time of selecting

the display. This may differ from the

inflation pressure set when the tyres

are cold because tyres become warmer

during riding, causing the air in the tyre

to expand and increase the inflation

pressure. The cold inflation pressures

specified by Triumph take account of

this.

Only adjust tyre pressures when

the tyres are cold using an accurate

pressure gauge. Do not use the tyre

pressure display on the instruments.

Maintenance and Adjustment

136

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre

becomes more susceptible to punctures

and failure. It is estimated that 90%

of all tyre problems occur during the

last 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is

recommended that tyres are changed

before they are worn to their minimum

tread depth.

Minimum Recommended Tread

Depth

Warning

Operation with excessively worn tyres

is hazardous and will adversely affect

traction, stability and handling which

may lead to loss of control and an

accident.

When tubeless tyres, used without a

tube, become punctured, leakage is

often very slow. Always inspect tyres

very closely for punctures. Check

the tyres for cuts, embedded nails or

other sharp objects. Operation with

punctured or damaged tyres will

adversely affect motorcycle stability

and handling which may lead to loss of

control or an accident.

Check the rims for dents or

deformation. Operation with damaged

or defective wheels or tyres is

dangerous and loss of motorcycle

control or an accident could result.

Always consult your authorised

Triumph dealer for tyre replacement,

or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

In accordance with the periodic

maintenance chart, measure the depth

of the tread with a depth gauge, and

replace any tyre that has worn to, or

beyond the minimum allowable tread

depth specified in the table below:

Under 80 mph

(130 km/h)

2 mm (0.08 in)

Over 80 mph

(130 km/h)

Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully

and extensively tested in a range

of riding conditions to ensure that

the most effective tyre combinations

are approved for use on each model.

It is essential that approved tyres

and inner tubes (if installed) fitted in

approved combinations, are used when

purchasing replacement items. The use

of non-approved tyres and inner tubes,

or approved tyres and inner tubes in

non-approved combinations, may lead

to motorcycle instability, loss of control

and an accident.

A list of approved tyres and inner tubes

specific to your motorcycle are available

from your authorised Triumph dealer, or

on the Internet at www. triumph. co. uk.

Always have tyres and inner tubes

fitted and balanced by your authorised

Triumph dealer who has the necessary

training and skills to ensure safe,

effective fitment.

Maintenance and Adjustment

137

When replacement tyres or inner tubes

are required, consult your authorised

Triumph dealer who will arrange for the

tyres and inner tubes to be selected,

in a correct combination, from the

approved list and fitted according to

the tyre and inner tube manufacturer's

instructions.

Initially, the new tyres and inner tubes

will not produce the same handling

characteristics as the worn tyres and

inner tubes and the rider must allow

adequate riding distance (approximately

100 miles (160 km)) to become

accustomed to the new handling

characteristics.

24 hours after fitting, the tyre

pressures must be checked and

adjusted, and the tyres and inner

tubes examined for correct seating.

Rectification must be carried out as

necessary. The same checks and

adjustments must also be carried out

when 100 miles (160 km) have been

travelled after fitting.

Warning

Inner tubes must only be used on

motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels

and with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.

Some brands of approved tyres

marked 'TUBELESS' may be suitable for

use with an inner tube. Where this is

the case, the tyre wall will be marked

with text permitting the fitment of an

inner tube.

Warning Continued

Use of an inner tube with a tyre

marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked

as suitable for use with an inner

tube, or use of an inner tube on an

alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE FOR

TUBELESS TYRES' will cause deflation

of the tyre resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not install tube type tyres on

tubeless rims.

The bead will not seat and the tyres

could slip on the rims, causing rapid

tyre deflation that may result in a loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Never install an inner tube inside a

tubeless tyre without the appropriate

marking. This will cause friction inside

the tyre and the resulting heat build-

up may cause the tube to burst

resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If a tyre or inner tube sustains a

puncture, the tyre and inner tube

must be replaced.

Failure to replace a punctured tyre

and inner tube, or operation with a

repaired tyre or inner tube can lead to

instability, loss of motorcycle control

or an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

138

Warning

If tyre damage is suspected, such

as after striking the kerb, ask your

authorised Triumph dealer to inspect

the tyre both internally and externally.

Tyre damage may not always be visible

from the outside.

Operation of the motorcycle with

damaged tyres could lead to loss of

control and an accident.

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly

seated tyres or inner tubes,

incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or

when not accustomed to its handling

characteristics may lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The ABS system operates by

comparing the relative speed of the

front and rear wheels.

Use of non-recommended tyres can

affect wheel speed and cause the ABS

function not to operate, potentially

leading to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident in conditions where

the ABS would normally function.

Warning

Accurate wheel balance is necessary

for safe, stable handling of the

motorcycle. Do not remove or change

any wheel balance weights. Incorrect

Battery Disposal

Should the battery ever require

replacement, the original battery must

be handed to a recycling agent who

will make sure that the dangerous

substances from which the battery

is manufactured do not pollute the

environment.

Battery Maintenance

Warning

Battery acid is corrosive and

poisonous and will cause damage to

unprotected skin.

Never swallow battery acid or allow it

to come into contact with the skin.

To prevent injury, always wear eye

and skin protection when handling the

battery.

The battery is a sealed type and does

not require any maintenance other

than checking the voltage and routine

recharging when required, such as

during storage.

Clean the battery using a clean,

dry cloth. Make sure that the cable

connections are clean.

It is not possible to adjust the battery

acid level in the battery; the sealing

strip must not be removed.

Maintenance and Adjustment

141

Battery Discharge

Caution

The charge level in the battery must

be maintained to maximise battery life.

Failure to maintain the battery charge

level could cause serious internal

damage to the battery.

Under normal conditions, the motorcycle

charging system will keep the

battery fully charged. However, if the

motorcycle is unused, the battery will

gradually discharge due to a normal

process called self discharge; the clock,

Engine Control Module (ECM) memory,

high ambient temperatures, or the

addition of electrical security systems

or other electrical accessories will all

increase this rate of battery discharge.

Disconnecting the battery from the

motorcycle during storage will reduce

the rate of discharge.

Battery Discharge During Storage

and Infrequent Use of the

Motorcycle

During storage or infrequent use of the

motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage

weekly using a digital multimeter.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

supplied with the meter.

Should the battery voltage fall below

12.7 Volts, the battery should be

charged.

Allowing a battery to discharge or

leaving it discharged for even a short

period of time causes sulphation of

the lead plates. Sulphation is a normal

part of the chemical reaction inside

the battery, however over time the

sulphate can crystallise on the plates

making recovery difficult or impossible.

This permanent damage is not covered

by the motorcycle warranty, as it is not

due to a manufacturing defect.

Keeping the battery fully charged

reduces the likelihood of it freezing

in cold conditions. Allowing a battery

to freeze will cause serious internal

damage to the battery.

Battery Charging

Warning

The battery gives off explosive gases;

keep sparks, flames and cigarettes

away. Provide adequate ventilation

when charging or using the battery in

an enclosed space.

The battery contains sulphuric acid

(battery acid). Contact with skin or

eyes may cause severe burns. Wear

protective clothing and a face shield.

If battery acid gets on your skin, flush

with water immediately.

If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush

with water for at least 15 minutes

and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

IMMEDIATELY.

If battery acid is swallowed, drink large

quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL

ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

142

Caution

Do not use an automotive quick

charger as it may overcharge and

damage the battery.

For help with selecting a battery

charger, checking the battery voltage

or battery charging, contact your local

authorised Triumph dealer.

Should the battery voltage fall below

12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged

using a Triumph approved battery

charger. Always remove the battery

from the motorcycle and follow the

instructions supplied with the battery

charger.

For extended periods of storage

(beyond two weeks) the battery should

be removed from the motorcycle and

kept charged using a Triumph approved

maintenance charger.

Similarly, should the battery charge

fall to a level where it will not start the

motorcycle, remove the battery from

the motorcycle before charging.

Cleaning

Frequent, regular cleaning is an

essential part of the maintenance of

your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned,

the appearance will be preserved for

many years.

Cleaning with cold water containing an

automotive cleaner is essential at all

times but particularly so after exposure

to sea breezes, sea water, dusty or

muddy roads and in winter when roads

are treated for ice and snow.

Do not use household detergent, as

the use of such products will lead to

premature corrosion.

Although, under the terms of your

motorcycle warranty, cover is provided

against the corrosion of certain items,

the owner is expected to observe this

reasonable advice which will safeguard

against corrosion and enhance the

appearance of the motorcycle.

Preparation for Washing

Before washing, precautions must be

taken to keep water off the following

places.

Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover

with a plastic bag secured with rubber

bands.

Clutch and brake levers, switch housings

on the handlebar: Cover with plastic

bags.

Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover

the keyhole with tape.

Remove any items of jewellery such

as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles,

which may scratch or otherwise damage

painted or polished surfaces.

Use separate cleaning sponges or

cleaning cloths for washing painted/

polished surfaces and chassis areas.

Chassis areas (such as wheels and

under mudguards) will be exposed to

more abrasive road grime and dust,

which may then scratch painted or

polished surfaces, if the same sponge or

cleaning cloths are used.

Cleaning and Storage

153

Where to be Careful

Caution

Do not spray any water at all near the

air intake duct.

The air intake duct is normally located

under the rider’s seat, under the fuel

tank or near the steering head.

Any water sprayed in this area could

enter the airbox and engine, causing

damage to both items.

Caution

Use of high pressure spray washers is

not recommended.

When using pressure washers, water

may be forced into bearings and other

components causing premature wear

from corrosion and loss of lubrication.

Avoid spraying water with any great

force near the following places:

• Instruments,

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers,

• Under the fuel tank,

• Air intake duct,

• Headstock bearings,

• Wheel bearings,

• Suspension seals and bearings.

Note

Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will

leave a residue on painted surfaces, and

may also cause water spotting.

Always use a low alkaline soap to aid

the cleaning process.

Washing

To wash the motorcycle, do the

following:

• Prepare a mixture of cold water and

mild automotive cleaner. Do not use

a highly alkaline soap as commonly

found at commercial car washes

because it leaves a residue.

• Wash the motorcycle with a sponge

or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive

scouring pads or steel wool. They

will damage the finish.

• Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly

with cold water.

Cleaning and Storage

154

After Washing

Warning

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.

Always clean the brake disc with a

proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc

cleaner.

Waxed or lubricated brake discs may

cause loss of braking power and an

accident.

After washing the motorcycle, do the

following:

1. Remove the plastic bags and tape,

and clear the air intakes.

2. Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.

3. Test the brakes before motorcycle

operation.

4. Use a dry cloth or chamois leather

to absorb water residue. Do

not allow water to stand on the

motorcycle as this will lead to

corrosion.

5. Start the engine and run it for

5 minutes. Make sure that there is

adequate ventilation for the exhaust

fumes.

Care of Gloss Paintwork

Gloss paintwork should be washed

and dried as described above, then

protected using a high quality

automotive polish. Always follow the

manufacturer’s instructions and repeat

regularly to maintain your motorcycle’s

appearance.

Care of Matt Paintwork

Matt paintwork requires no greater care

than that already recommended for

high gloss paintwork.

• Do not use any polish or wax on

matt paintwork.

• Do not try and polish out scratches.

Aluminium Items - not

Lacquered or Painted

Items such as brake and clutch levers,

wheels, engine covers, engine cooling

fins, upper and lower yokes and

throttle bodies on some models must

be correctly cleaned to preserve their

appearance. Please contact your dealer

if you are unsure which components on

your motorcycle are aluminium parts

not protected by paint or lacquer, and

for guidance on how to clean those

items.

Use a proprietary brand of aluminium

cleaner which does not contain abrasive

or caustic elements.

Clean aluminium items regularly,

in particular after use in inclement

weather, where the components must

be hand washed and dried each time

the machine is used.

Warranty claims due to inadequate

maintenance will not be allowed.

Cleaning and Storage

155

Cleaning of Chrome and

Stainless Steel Items

All chrome and stainless steel parts

of your motorcycle must be cleaned

regularly to avoid a deterioration of its

appearance.

Washing

Wash as previously described.

Drying

Dry the chrome and stainless steel

parts as far as possible with a soft cloth

or chamois leather.

Protecting

Caution

The use of products containing

silicone will cause discolouration of the

chrome and stainless steel parts and

must not be used.

The use of abrasive cleaning products

will damage the finish and must not be

used.

When the chrome and stainless steel is

dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome

cleaner on to the surface, following the

manufacturer’s instructions.

It is recommended that regular

protection be applied to the motorcycle

as this will both protect and enhance its

appearance.

Black Chrome

Items such as headlight bowls and

mirrors on some models must be

correctly cleaned to preserve their

appearance. Please contact your dealer

if you are unsure which components

on your motorcycle are black chrome

parts. Maintain the appearance of

black chrome items by rubbing a small

amount of light oil into the surface.

Cleaning and Storage

156

Cleaning of the Exhaust

System

All parts of the exhaust system of your

motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to

avoid a deterioration of its appearance.

These instructions can be applied to

chrome, brushed stainless steel and

carbon fibre components; matt painted

exhaust systems should be cleaned as

above, noting the care instructions in

the Matt Paintwork section previously.

Note

The exhaust system must be cool before

washing to prevent water spotting.

Washing

Wash as previously described.

Make sure that no soap or water enters

the exhausts.

Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far as

possible with a soft cloth or chamois

leather. Do not run the engine to dry

the system or spotting will occur.

Protecting

Caution

The use of products containing

silicone will cause discolouration of the

chrome and stainless steel parts and

must not be used.

The use of abrasive cleaning products

will damage the finish and must not be

used.

When the exhaust system is dry, apply

a suitable proprietary motorcycle

protection spray onto the surface,

following the manufacturer’s

instructions.

It is recommended that regular

protection be applied to the system as

this will both protect and enhance the

system's appearance.

Cleaning and Storage

157

Seat Care

Caution

Use of chemicals or high pressure

spray washers is not recommended for

cleaning the seat.

Using chemicals or high pressure

spray washers may damage the seat

cover.

To help maintain its appearance, clean

the seat using a sponge or cleaning

cloth with soap and water.

Windscreen Cleaning

(if fitted)

Warning

Never attempt to clean the windscreen

while the motorcycle is in motion as

releasing the handlebars may cause

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Operation of the motorcycle with a

damaged or scratched windscreen

will reduce the rider's forward vision.

Any such reduction in forward vision

is dangerous and may lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Corrosive chemicals such as battery

acid will damage the windscreen.

Never allow corrosive chemicals to

contact the windscreen.

Caution

Products such as window cleaning

fluids, insect remover, rain repellent,

scouring compounds, petrol or strong

solvents such as alcohol, acetone,

carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage

the windscreen.

Never allow these products to contact

the windscreen.

Cleaning and Storage

158

Clean the windscreen with a solution of

mild soap or detergent and cold water.

After cleaning, rinse well and then dry

with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the transparency of the windscreen is

reduced by scratches or oxidation which

cannot be removed, the windscreen

must be replaced.

Care of Leather Products

It is recommend that the leather

products are periodically cleaned with a

damp cloth and allowed to dry naturally

at room temperature. This will maintain

the appearance of the leather and

ensure the long life of the product.

The Triumph leather product is a natural

product and lack of care can result in

damage and permanent wear.

Follow these simple instructions to

prolong the life of the leather product:

• Do not use household cleaning

products, bleach, detergents

containing bleach or any kind of

solvent to clean the leather product.

• Do not immerse the leather product

in water.

• Avoid direct heat from fires and

radiators which can dry out and

distort the leather.

• Do not leave the leather product in

direct sunlight for prolonged periods

of time.

Storage

Preparation for Storage

To prepare the motorcycle for storage,

do the following:

• Clean and dry the entire vehicle

thoroughly.

• Fill the fuel tank with the correct

grade of unleaded fuel and add a

suitable fuel stabiliser (if available),

following the fuel stabiliser

manufacturer’s instructions.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can

be explosive under certain conditions.

Turn the ignition switch OFF. Do not

smoke.

Make sure the area is well ventilated

and free from any source of flame or

sparks; this includes any appliance

with a pilot light.

• Remove one of the spark plugs

from each cylinder and put several

drops (5 ml) of engine oil into each

cylinder. Cover the spark plug holes

with a piece of cloth or rag. With

the engine stop switch in the RUN

position, push the starter button for

a few seconds to coat the cylinder

walls with oil. Install the spark plugs,

tightening to 12 Nm.

• Change the engine oil and filter (see

page 102).

• Check and if necessary correct the

tyre pressures (see page 135).

Cleaning and Storage

160

• Set the motorcycle on a stand so

that both wheels are raised off the

ground. (If this cannot be done, put

boards under the front and rear

wheels to keep dampness away

from the tyres.)

• Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are

a host of products on the market

and your authorised Triumph dealer

will be able to offer you local advice)

on all unpainted metal surfaces to

prevent rusting. Prevent oil from

getting on rubber parts, brake discs

or in the brake calipers.

• Make sure the cooling system is

filled with a 50% mixture of coolant

(noting that HD4X Hybrid OAT

coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is

pre-mixed and requires no dilution)

and distilled water solution (see

page 105).

• Remove the battery, and store it

where it will not be exposed to

direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing

temperatures. During storage it

should be given a slow charge (one

Ampere or less) about once every

two weeks (see page 141).

• Store the motorcycle in a cool,

dry area, away from sunlight, and

with a minimum daily temperature

variation.

• Put a suitable porous cover over the

motorcycle to keep dust and dirt

from collecting on it. Avoid using

plastic or similar non-breathable,

coated materials that restrict air

flow and allow heat and moisture to

accumulate.

Preparation after Storage

To prepare the motorcycle to be ridden

after storage, do the following:

• Install the battery (if removed) (see

page 142).

• If the motorcycle has been stored

for more than four months, change
