Warning
The accessory kits covered in this instruction are
designed for use on specific models of Triumph
motorcycle. The accessory kits and the models
applicable are listed at the start of the instruction.
They should not be fitted to any other Triumph
model or to any other manufacturer’s motorcycle.
Fitting an accessory kit to a Triumph model not
listed, or to any other manufacturer’s motorcycle,
will affect the performance, stability and handling of
the motorcycle. This may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Always have Triumph approved parts, accessories
and conversions fitted by a trained technician of an
authorised Triumph dealer. The fitment of parts,
accessories and conversions by a technician who is
not of an authorised Triumph dealer may affect the
handling, stability or other aspects of the
motorcycle’s operation which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Throughout this operation, ensure that the
motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported
to prevent risk of injury from the motorcycle falling.
Warning
A torque wrench of known accurate calibration
must be used when fitting this accessory kit. Failure
to tighten any of the fasteners to the correct
torque specification may affect motorcycle
performance, handling and stability. This may result
in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
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 system to cool, as touching any part of a hot
exhaust could cause burn injuries.

Caution
The pannier lid has two latch positions; the first
latch position acts as a safety catch. Always ensure
the pannier lid is fully closed on to the second latch
position, as the pannier will not fully seal on the first
latch position. Riding the motorcycle with the

the second 'click' is heard. Turn the key to the
LOCK position and remove it.
Caution
When loading or unloading the panniers while the
panniers are fitted to the motorcycle, avoid applying
load to the pannier lids. Applying load to the pannier
lids while the panniers are fitted to the motorcycle
may subject the pannier lid retaining straps to
excessive forces, causing damage to the pannier
and pannier lid retaining straps.
Warning
In all cases, loads must be evenly distributed on
both sides of the motorcycle. Uneven loading may
cause instability, loss of control and an accident.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each pannier is 5 kg
(11 lbs). Never exceed this loading limit as this may
cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
The two panniers fitted to this motorcycle are linked
by a cable link mechanism to enhance stability. This
cable link mechanism allows a small amount of
sideways pannier movement, independently of the
motorcycle.
Do not remove or adjust the cable link mechanism
(except as described on page 14 of this instruction)
as motorcycle stability will be affected. Riding the
motorcycle with the cable link mechanism removed
or incorrectly adjusted may cause the motorcycle to
become unstable leading to loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding
condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Ensure
that the load is correctly secured such that it will
not move around while the motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each pannier. 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 ensure
that the load does not extend beyond the rear of
the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight. Refer to the Owner’s Handbook for
the maximum loading weight specification.
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, ensure that front and rear spring preload
and damping settings are suitable for the loading
condition of the motorcycle. Refer to the Owner’s
Handbook.
Note the maximum permissible payload for the
panniers is stated on a label inside the pannier.
Warning
After fitting the accessory kit the motorcycle will
exhibit new handling characteristics. Operate the
motorcycle in a safe area free from traffic to gain
familiarity with any new handling characteristics.
Operation of the motorcycle when not familiar with
any new handling characteristics may result in loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning
Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle at
speeds above 80 mph (130 km/h).
The presence of accessories will cause changes in
the stability and handling of the motorcycle. Failure
to allow for changes in motorcycle stability may lead
to loss of control or an accident.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) limit will be
reduced by the fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather conditions.
Warning
The motorcycle must not be operated above the
legal road speed limit except in closed-course
conditions.
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 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.
