Warning
This accessory kit is designed for use on
Triumph Thunderbird motorcycles only and should not be
fitted to any other Triumph model or to any other
manufacturer’s motorcycle. Consult your Triumph
authorised dealer for model fitment. Fitting this accessory
kit to any other Triumph model, or to any other
manufacturer’s motorcycle will affect the performance,
stability and handling of the motorcycle. This may affect
the rider’s ability to control the motorcycle and could
cause 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
result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If the motorcycle is to be returned to its original condition,
new encapsulated screws must fitted to secure the throttle
cable bracket to the throttle body. Failure to fit new
encapsulated screws may lead to the throttle cable bracket
becoming loose causing loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with an incorrectly adjusted,

interfere with the operation of the brakes, clutch or the
throttle itself. Any of these conditions could result in loss of
control of the motorcycle and an accident.
Warning
Move the handlebars to left and right full lock while
checking that cables and harnesses do not bind. A cable
or harness that binds will restrict the steering and may
cause loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Use of the motorcycle with incorrectly adjusted, incorrectly
routed, sticking or damaged throttle cables will interfere
with the throttle function resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
To avoid incorrect adjustment, incorrect routing, or
continued use of a sticking or damaged throttle, always
have your throttle checked and adjusted by your
authorised Triumph dealer.
Warning
If, after fitment of the restrictor kit, you have any doubt
about the performance of any aspect of the motorcycle,
contact an authorised Triumph dealer and do not ride the
motorcycle until the authorised dealer has declared it fit
for use. Riding a motorcycle when there is any doubt as to
any aspect of the performance of the motorcycle may
result in loss of control of the motorcycle leading to an
accident.
