SAFETY FIRST
The Motorcycle
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for
on-road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.
Off-road operation could lead to loss of
control of the motorcycle resulting in
an accident causing injury or loss of
life.
Warning
This motorcycle is not designed to tow
a trailer or be mounted with a sidecar.
Installing 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
installed).
The total weight of the rider, and any
passenger, accessories and luggage
must not exceed the maximum load
limit of 463 lb (210 kg).
Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
Warning
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when
refueling.
Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap
while smoking or in the vicinity of any
open (naked) flame.
Take care not to spill any gasoline on
the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers
when refueling.
If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or
allowed to get into the eyes, seek
immediate medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be
immediately washed off with soap
and water and clothing contaminated
with gasoline should immediately be
removed.
Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with gasoline.
Warning
Never start your engine or let it run for
any length of time in a closed area. The
exhaust fumes are poisonous and may
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short time. Always operate
your motorcycle in the open-air or in
an area with adequate ventilation.

Safety First

Helmet and Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting
around the knee and ankle) and a
brightly colored jacket. Brightly colored
clothing will considerably increase a
rider's (or passenger's) visibility to
other operators of road vehicles.
Although full protection is not possible,
wearing correct protective clothing can
reduce the risk of injury when riding.
Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly colored helmet
will increase a rider's (or passenger's)
visibility to other operators of road
vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
cbma
When choosing a helmet, always look for
a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker
indicating that the helmet has DOT
approval. Do not buy a helmet without
DOT approval.
Parking
Warning
Always turn off the engine and remove
the ignition key before leaving the
motorcycle unattended. By removing
the key, the risk of use of
the motorcycle by unauthorized or
untrained persons is reduced.
When parking the motorcycle, always
remember the following:
Engage first gear to help prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the stand.
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians, animals and/or children
are likely to touch the motorcycle.
Do not park on soft ground or on
a steeply inclined surface. Parking
under these conditions may cause the
motorcycle to fall over.
For further details, please refer to the
'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of
this Owner's Handbook.

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
mounted on the motorcycle by an
authorized dealer.
In particular, it is extremely hazardous
to fit or replace parts or accessories
whose installation requires the
dismantling of, or addition to, either
the electrical or fuel systems and
any such modification could cause a
safety hazard.
The installation 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
installation of non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions or the fitting
of any approved parts, accessories or
conversions by non-approved personnel.
Maintenance/Equipment
Warning
Consult your authorized Triumph dealer
whenever there is doubt as to the
correct or safe operation of this
Triumph motorcycle.
Remember that continued operation of
an incorrectly performing motorcycle
may aggravate a fault and may also
compromise safety.
Warning
Ensure all equipment that is required
by law is installed and functioning
correctly. The removal or alteration
of the motorcycle’s lights, mufflers,
emission or noise control systems can
violate the law. Incorrect or improper
modification may adversely affect the
handling, stability or other aspect of
the motorcycle operation, which may
result in an accident causing injury or
death.
Warning
If the motorcycle is involved in an
accident, collision or fall, it must be
taken to an authorized Triumph dealer
for inspection and repair. Any accident
can cause damage to the motorcycle
that, if not correctly repaired, may
cause a second accident that may
result in injury or death.

Safety First

Riding
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider's ability to maintain
control of the motorcycle and may lead
to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
All riders must be licensed to operate
the motorcycle. Operation of the
motorcycle without a license is illegal
and could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to
become licensed is dangerous and may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear
the protective equipment mentioned
elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,
in an accident, a motorcycle does
not give the same impact protection as
a car.
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road traveled.
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
10
Warning
Ensure that you know and respect the
rules of the road. Read and observe
publications such as ‘MOTORCYCLE
SAFETY’, ‘YOU AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE,
RIDING TIPS’ and also read and become
familiar with the contents of the
MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your
state.
Caution
This Triumph motorcycle is not
equipped with spark arresters.
Operation in forests, brush or grass
areas may violate state and local laws
and regulations.
Wobble/Weave
A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of
the rear of the motorcycle, while a
wobble is a rapid, possibly strong
shaking of the handlebar. These are
related but distinct stability problems
usually caused by excessive weight in
the wrong place, or by a mechanical
problem such as worn or loose bearings
or under-inflated or unevenly worn tires.
Your solution to both situations is the
same. Keep a firm hold on the
handlebars without locking arms or
fighting the steering. Smoothly ease off
the throttle to slow gradually. Do not
apply the brakes, and do not accelerate
to try to stop the wobble or weave. In
some cases, it helps to shift your body
weight forward by leaning over the tank.

Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected
if the rider removes 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
vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk
of inadvertent contact with any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
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
indicator pegs 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 on page 116.

Safety First
11
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, tire 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.
