to any other Triumph model or to any other

other Triumph model or to any other manufacturer’s
motorcycle, may interfere with the rider and could affect
the stability and handling of the motorcycle, leading to loss
of 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

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
characteristics. Operation of the motorcycle when not
familiar with any new handling characteristics may result in
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If, after fitment of this accessory 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.
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
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in
closed course, on-road competitions 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regularly clean the windscreen and lower air deflectors with
cold water and a mild automotive cleaner.
Avoid spraying water with any great force directly on to the
windscreen, lower air deflectors and mountings.
Warning
The motorcycle must not be operated above the legal
road speed limit except in closed course conditions.
Warning
Never attempt to clean or adjust the windscreen while
riding the motorcycle. Removal of the rider's hands from
the handlebars while riding the motorcycle will diminish
the ability of the rider to maintain the control of the
motorcycle. Attempting to clean or adjust the windscreen
while riding the motorcycle may result in loss of control of
the motorcycle and an accident.
Warning
The windscreen is no substitute for a safety helmet or eye
protection. Windscreens are designed to provide wind
protection and increased rider comfort. They are not
designed to provide protection in the event of a collision
with another vehicle, the road, birds or any other objects.
When riding a motorcycle, both rider and passenger must
always wear a safety helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots
and trousers (close fitting around the knees and ankles).
Although full protection is not possible, wearing the
correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of serious
injury when riding.
Caution
The 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.
