Triumph Traction Control (TTC)

Triumph Traction Control helps tomaintain traction when accelerating onwet/slippery road surfaces. If sensorsdetect that the rear wheel is losingtraction (slipping), the traction controlsystem will engage and alter the enginepower until traction to the rear wheelhas been restored. The traction controlwarning light will flash while it isengaged and the rider may notice achange to the sound of the engine.

Note:

• Traction control will not function ifthere is a malfunction with the ABSsystem. The warning lights for theABS, traction control and the MIL willbe illuminated.

Warning

Do not attempt to adjust the leverwith the motorcycle in motion as thismay lead to loss of motorcycle controland an accident.After adjusting the lever, operate themotorcycle in an area free from trafficto gain familiarity with the new leversetting. Do not loan your motorcycleto anyone as they may change thelever setting from the one you arefamiliar with causing loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Triumph Traction Control is not asubstitute for riding appropriately forthe prevailing road and weatherconditions. The traction controlcannot prevent loss of traction due to:• excessive speed when entering

turns• accelerating at a sharp lean angle• braking.

Traction control can not prevent thefront wheel from slipping.Failure to observe any of the abovemay result in loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

General Information

67

Triumph Traction Control Settings

The Triumph Traction Control can be setto one of the following conditions:• Road – Optimal TTC setting for road

use, allows minimal rear wheel slip• Off Road – TTC is set up for off-road

use, allowing increased rear wheelslip when compared to the Roadsetting. The TTC indicator light willflash slowly (see page 28)

• Off – TTC is turned off. The TTCdisabled warning light will beilluminated (see page 28).

To access the TTC settings, see RidingModes on page 44.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (If Fitted)

Note:

• TPMS is available as an accessoryoption on Tiger XRX models only.

• TPMS is not available on Tiger XCX

models.

Warning

Do not attempt to adjust the tractioncontrol settings while the motorcycleis in motion as this may lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If the traction control is disabled, themotorcycle will handle as normal butwithout traction control. In thissituation accelerating too hard onwet/slippery road surfaces may causethe rear wheel to slip, and may resultin loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

Warning

The daily check of tyre pressuresmust not be excluded because of thefitment of the TPMS. Check the tyrepressure when the tyres are cold andusing an accurate tyre pressuregauge (see page 138).Use of the TPMS system to setinflation pressures may lead toincorrect tyre pressures leading toloss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

General Information

68

FunctionTyre pressure sensors are fitted to thefront and rear wheels. These sensorsmeasure the air pressure inside the tyreand transmit pressure data to theinstruments. These sensors will nottransmit the data until the motorcycle istravelling at a speed greater than12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will bevisible in the display area until the tyrepressure signal is received.An adhesive label will be fitted to thewheel rim to indicate the position of thetyre pressure sensor, which is near thevalve.For motorcycles without the tyrepressure monitoring system fitted: Thetyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)is an accessory fitted item and must befitted by your authorised Triumphdealer. The TPMS display on theinstruments will only be activated whenthe system has been fitted.

TPMS Sensor ID NumberAn ID number for each tyre pressuresensor is printed on a label which is onthe sensor. This number may berequired by the dealer for service ordiagnostics.If the TPMS has been fitted at thefactory, labels identifying the front andrear TPMS sensor ID numbers will beaffixed to the spaces below.If the TPMS is being fitted to themotorcycle as an accessory, ensure thatthe dealer records the front and rearTPMS sensor ID numbers in the spacesprovided below.

TPMS Tyre PressuresThe tyre pressures shown on yourinstrument panel indicate the actualtyre pressure at the time of selectingthe display. This may differ from theinflation pressure set when the tyresare cold because tyres become warmerduring riding, causing the air in the tyreto expand and the inflation pressure toincrease. The cold inflation pressuresspecified by Triumph take account ofthis.Owners must only adjust tyre pressureswhen the tyres are cold using anaccurate tyre pressure gauge (seepage 138), and must not use the tyrepressure display on the instruments.

Replacement TyresWhen replacing tyres, always have anauthorised Triumph dealer fit your tyresand ensure they are aware that tyrepressure sensors are fitted to thewheels (see page 136).

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

Your Triumph engine is designed to useunleaded fuel and will give optimumperformance if the correct grade of fuelis used. Tiger XRX and Tiger XCX modelscan use unleaded fuel with an octanerating of 91 RON or higher.This motorcycle can use fuel with amaximum 25% Ethanol content (E25). In certain circumstances enginecalibration may be required. Always referto your authorised Triumph dealer.Warning

The tyre pressure monitoring systemis not to be used as a tyre pressuregauge when adjusting the tyrepressures. For correct tyre pressures,always check the tyre pressures whenthe tyres are cold and using anaccurate tyre pressure gauge (seepage 138).Use of the TPMS system to setinflation pressures may lead toincorrect tyre pressures leading toloss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

Caution

The motorcycle can be permanentlydamaged if it is allowed to operatewith the incorrect grade of fuel orincorrect engine calibration. Alwaysensure the fuel used is of the correctgrade and quality. Damage caused byusing the incorrect fuel or enginecalibration is not considered amanufacturing defect and will not becovered under warranty.

General Information

71

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with acatalytic converter to help reduceexhaust emission levels. The catalyticconverter can be permanentlydamaged if the motorcycle is allowedto run out of fuel or if the fuel level isallowed to get very low. Always ensureyou have adequate fuel for yourjourney.

Caution

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in mostcountries, states or territories. Use ofleaded fuel will damage the catalyticconverter.

Warning

To help reduce hazards associatedwith refuelling, always observe thefollowing fuel safety instructions:Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable andcan be explosive under certainconditions. When refuelling, turn theignition switch to the OFF position.Do not smoke.Do not use a mobile telephone.Make sure the refuelling area is wellventilated and free from any source offlame or sparks. This includes anyappliance with a pilot light.Never fill the tank until the fuel levelrises into the filler neck. Heat fromsunlight or other sources may causethe fuel to expand and overflowcreating a fire hazard.After refuelling always check that thefuel filler cap is correctly closed andlocked.Because petrol (fuel) is highlyflammable, any fuel leak or spillage, orany failure to observe the safetyadvice given above will lead to a firehazard, which could cause damage toproperty, injury to persons or death.

Running-In

Running-in is the name given to theprocess that occurs during the firsthours of a new motorcycle's operation.In particular, internal friction in theengine will be higher when componentsare new. Later on, when continuedoperation of the engine has ensuredthat the components have bedded in,this internal friction will be greatlyreduced.A period of careful running-in will ensurelower exhaust emissions, and willoptimise performance, fuel economy andlongevity of the engine and othermotorcycle components.

Note:

• The recommended distance forbreaking-in new brake discs andpads is 200 miles (300 km).

During the first 500 miles(800 kilometres):• Avoid extreme braking, ride with

caution and allow for greaterbraking distances during thebreaking-in period.

• Do not use full throttle.• Avoid high engine speeds at all

times.• Avoid riding at one constant engine

speed, whether fast or slow, for along period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, andrapid accelerations, except in anemergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than3/4 of maximum engine speed.

From 500 to 1,000 miles (800 to1,500 kilometres):• Engine speed can gradually be

increased to the rev limit for shortperiods.

Both during and after running-in hasbeen completed:• Do not over-rev the engine when

cold.• Do not let the engine labour. Always

downshift before the engine beginsto struggle.

• Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Changing up agear helps reduce fuel consumption,reduces noise and helps to protectthe environment.

To Stop the Engine

1. Engine stop switch2. Starter button3. Neutral indicator light4. ON position5. Ignition switch

Close the throttle completely.Select neutral.Turn the ignition switch OFF.Select first gear.Support the motorcycle on a firm, levelsurface with the side stand.Lock the steering.

To Start the EngineCheck that the engine stop switch is inthe RUN position.Ensure the transmission is in neutral.Turn the ignition switch ON.

Note:

• When the ignition is switched on, thetachometer needle will quickly sweepfrom zero to maximum and thenreturn to zero. The instrumentwarning lights will illuminate and willthen go off (except those whichnormally remain on until the enginestarts – see Warning Lights onpage 26). It is not necessary to waitfor the needle to return to zerobefore starting the engine.

Caution

The engine should normally bestopped by turning the ignition switchto the OFF position. The engine stopswitch is for emergency use only. Donot leave the ignition switched on withthe engine stopped. Electrical damagemay result.


93

• A transponder is fitted within thekey to turn off the engineimmobiliser. To ensure theimmobiliser functions correctly,always have only one of the ignitionkeys near the ignition switch. Havingtwo ignition keys near the switchmay interrupt the signal betweenthe transponder and the engineimmobiliser. In this situation theengine immobiliser will remain activeuntil one of the ignition keys isremoved.

Pull the clutch lever fully into thehandlebar.Leaving the throttle fully closed, pushthe starter button until the enginestarts.

• The motorcycle is equipped withstarter lockout switches. Theswitches prevent the electric starterfrom operating when thetransmission is not in neutral withthe side stand down.

• If the side stand is extended whilstthe engine is running, and thetransmission is not in neutral thenthe engine will stop regardless ofclutch position.

Moving OffPull in the clutch lever and select firstgear. Open the throttle a little and letout the clutch lever slowly. As the clutchstarts to engage, open the throttle alittle more, allowing enough enginespeed to avoid stalling.

Warning

Never start the engine or run theengine in a confined area. Exhaustfumes are poisonous and can causeloss of consciousness and deathwithin a short period of time. Alwaysoperate your motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequateventilation.

Caution

Do not operate the startercontinuously for more thanfive seconds as the starter motor willoverheat and the battery will becomedischarged. Wait 15 seconds betweeneach operation of the starter to allowfor cooling and recovery of batterypower.Do not let the engine idle for longperiods as this may lead tooverheating which will cause damageto the engine.

Caution

If the low oil pressure warninglight/message illuminates afterstarting the engine, stop the engineimmediately and investigate thecause. Running the engine with low oilpressure will cause severe enginedamage.


94

Changing Gears

1. Gear change pedalClose the throttle while pulling inthe clutch lever. Change into thenext higher or lower gear. Open thethrottle part way, while releasingthe clutch lever. Always use theclutch when changing gear.

Note:

• The gear change mechanism is thepositive stop type. This means that,for each movement of the gearchange pedal, you can only selecteach gear, one after the other, inascending or descending order.

Warning

Take care to avoid opening thethrottle too far or too fast in any ofthe lower gears as this can lead to thefront wheel lifting from the ground(pulling a wheelie) and to the rear tyrebreaking traction (wheel spin).Always open the throttle cautiously,particularly if you are unfamiliar withthe motorcycle, as a wheelie or loss oftraction will cause loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Warning

Do not change to a lower gear atspeeds that will cause excessiveengine rpm (r/min). This can lock therear wheel causing loss of control andan accident. Engine damage may alsobe caused. Changing down should bedone such that low engine speeds willbe ensured.


95

Braking

1. Front brake lever

1. Rear brake pedal

1chex

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Close the throttle completely, leavingthe clutch engaged to allow theengine to help slow down themotorcycle.Change down one gear at a time suchthat the transmission is in first gearwhen the motorcycle comes to acomplete stop.When stopping, always apply bothbrakes at the same time. Normally thefront brake should be applied a littlemore than the rear.Change down or fully disengage theclutch as necessary to keep theengine from stalling.Never lock the brakes, as this maycause loss of control of the motorcycleand an accident.

Warning

For emergency braking, disregarddown changing, and concentrate onapplying the front and rear brakes ashard as possible without skidding.Riders should practice emergencybraking in a traffic-free area (see ABSwarnings below/over).Triumph strongly recommends that allriders take a course of instruction,which includes advice on safe brakeoperation. Incorrect brake techniquecould result in loss of control and anaccident.

Warning

For your safety, always exerciseextreme caution when braking(whether or not ABS is fitted),accelerating or turning as anyincautious action can cause loss ofcontrol and an accident. Independentuse of the front or rear brakesreduces overall braking performance.Extreme braking may cause eitherwheel to lock, reducing control of themotorcycle and causing an accident(see ABS warnings below).When possible, reduce speed or brakebefore entering a turn as closing thethrottle or braking in mid-turn maycause wheel slip leading to loss ofcontrol and an accident.When riding in wet or rainy conditions,or on loose surfaces, the ability tomanoeuvre and stop will be reduced.All of your actions should be smoothunder these conditions. Suddenacceleration, braking or turning maycause loss of control and an accident.

Warning

When descending a long, steepgradient or mountain pass, make useof the engine's braking effect by downchanging and use both front and rearbrakes intermittently. Continuousbrake application or use of the rearbrake only can overheat the brakesand reduce their effectiveness leadingto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

Warning

Riding with your foot on the brakepedal or your hands on the brake levermay actuate the brake light, giving afalse indication to other road users. Itmay also overheat the brake, reducingbraking effectiveness leading to lossof motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not coast with the engine switchedoff, and do not tow the motorcycle.The transmission is pressure-lubricated only when the engine isrunning. Inadequate lubrication maycause damage or seizure of thetransmission, which can lead tosudden loss of motorcycle control andan accident.


97

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

ABS Warning LightWhen the ignition switch isturned to the ON position, it isnormal for the ABS warning

light to flash on and off (see page 27). Ifthe ABS warning light is constantlyilluminated it indicates that the ABSfunction is not available because:• The ABS has been disabled by the

rider (see page 45).• The ABS has a malfunction that

requires investigation.

If the indicator light becomes illuminatedwhile riding, it indicates that the ABShas a malfunction that requiresinvestigation.

Note:

• Normally, the rider will perceive ABSoperation as a harder feel or apulsation of the brake lever andpedal. As the ABS is not anintegrated braking system and itdoes not control both the front andrear brake at the same time, thispulsation may be felt in the lever, thepedal or both.

• The ABS may be activated by suddenupward or downward changes in theroad surface.

Warning

When using the motorcycle on loose,wet, or muddy roads, brakingeffectiveness will be reduced by dust,mud or moisture collecting on thebrakes. Always brake earlier in theseconditions to ensure brake surfacesare cleaned by the braking action.Riding the motorcycle with brakescontaminated with dust, mud ormoisture may cause loss of controland an accident.

Warning

ABS helps prevent the wheels fromlocking, therefore maximising theeffectiveness of the braking system inemergencies and when riding onslippery surfaces. The potentiallyshorter braking distances ABS allowsunder certain conditions are not asubstitute for good riding practice.Always ride within the legal speedlimit.Never ride without due care andattention and always reduce speed inconsideration of weather, road andtraffic conditions.Take care when cornering. If thebrakes are applied in a corner, ABS willnot be able to counteract the weightand momentum of the motorcycle.This can result in loss of control andan accident.Under some circumstances it ispossible that a motorcycle equippedwith ABS may require a longerstopping distance than an equivalentmotorcycle without ABS.


98

Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignitionswitch to the OFF position.Lock the steering to help prevent theft.Always park on a firm, level surface toprevent the motorcycle from falling. Thisis particularly important when parkingoff-road.When parking on a hill, always parkfacing uphill to prevent the motorcyclefrom rolling off the stand. Engage firstgear to prevent the motorcycle frommoving.On a lateral (sideways) incline, alwayspark such that the incline naturallypushes the motorcycle towards the sidestand.Do not park on a lateral (sideways)incline of greater than 6° and never parkfacing downhill.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brakesystem will continue to function as anon-ABS braking system. Do notcontinue to ride for longer than isnecessary with the indicator lightilluminated. In the event of a fault,contact an authorised Triumph dealeras soon as possible to have the faultchecked and rectified. In this situation,braking too hard will cause the wheelsto lock resulting in loss of control andan accident.

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminatewhen the rear wheel is driven at highspeed for more than 30 seconds whenthe motorcycle is on a stand. Thisreaction is normal.When the ignition is switched off andthe motorcycle is restarted, thewarning light will illuminate until themotorcycle reaches a speed exceeding19 mph (30 km/h).

Warning

The ABS system operates bycomparing the relative speed of thefront and rear wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres can affect wheelspeed and cause the ABS function notto operate, potentially leading to lossof control and an accident inconditions where the ABS wouldnormally function.


99

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night,or when parking in a location whereparking lights are required by law,leave the tail, licence plate andposition lights on by turning theignition switch to P (PARK).

Do not leave the switch in the P positionfor long periods of time as this willdischarge the battery.

Considerations for High-Speed Operation

Warning

Do not park on a soft or on a steeplyinclined surface. Parking under theseconditions may cause the motorcycleto fall over causing damage toproperty and personal injury.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and canbe explosive under certain conditions.If parking inside a garage or otherstructure, be sure it is well ventilatedand the motorcycle is not close to anysource of flame or sparks. Thisincludes any appliance with a pilotlight.Failure to follow the above advice maycause a fire resulting in damage toproperty or personal injury.

Warning

The engine and exhaust system will behot after riding. DO NOT park wherepedestrians and children are likely totouch the motorcycle.Touching any part of the engine orexhaust system when hot may causeunprotected skin to become burnt.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should beoperated within the legal speed limitsfor the particular road travelled.Operating a motorcycle at high speedscan be potentially dangerous since thetime available to react to given trafficsituations is greatly reduced as roadspeed increases. Always reduce speedin consideration of weather and trafficconditions.

Warning

Only operate this Triumph motorcycleat high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed-courseracetracks. High-speed operationshould only then be attempted byriders who have been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high-speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and willlead to loss of motorcycle control andan accident.


100

GeneralEnsure the motorcycle has beenmaintained according to the scheduledmaintenance chart.

SteeringCheck that the handlebar turnssmoothly without excessive free play ortight spots. Ensure that the controlcables do not restrict the steering in anyway.

LuggageMake certain that any luggagecontainers are closed, locked andsecurely fitted to the motorcycle.

BrakesCheck that the front and rear brakes arefunctioning properly.

TyresHigh-speed operation is hard on tyres,and tyres that are in good condition arecrucial to riding safely. Examine theiroverall condition, inflate to the correctpressure (when the tyres are cold), andcheck the wheel balance. Securely fit thevalve caps after checking tyrepressures. Observe the informationgiven on tyre checking and tyre safetyin the Maintenance and Adjustmentsection and in the Specifications section.

FuelHave sufficient fuel for the increasedfuel consumption that will result fromhigh-speed operation.

Warning

The handling characteristics of amotorcycle at high speed may varyfrom those you are familiar with atlegal road speeds. Do not attempthigh-speed operation unless you havereceived sufficient training and havethe required skills as a seriousaccident may result from incorrectoperation.

Warning

The items listed below are extremelyimportant and must never beneglected. A problem, which may notbe noticed at normal operatingspeeds, may be greatly exaggeratedat high speeds.

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with acatalytic converter to help reduceexhaust emission levels. The catalyticconverter can be permanentlydamaged if the motorcycle is allowedto run out of fuel or if the fuel level isallowed to get very low. Always ensureyou have adequate fuel for yourjourney.


101

Engine OilMake certain that the engine oil level iscorrect. Ensure that the correct gradeand type of oil is used when topping up.

CoolantCheck that the coolant level is at theupper level line in the expansion tank.(Always check the level with the enginecold.)

Electrical EquipmentMake certain that the headlight,rear/brake light, direction indicators,horn, etc. all work properly.

MiscellaneousVisually check that all fixings are tight.


102


Accessories, Loading and Passengers

103

ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERSThe addition of accessories and carriageof additional weight can affect themotorcycle's handling characteristicscausing changes in stability andnecessitating a reduction in speed. Thefollowing information has been preparedas a guide to the potential hazards ofadding accessories to a motorcycle andcarrying passengers and additionalloads.Adjust the headlight aim to compensatefor additional loads, see page 149.

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in anunsafe riding condition leading to anaccident.Always ensure any loads carried areevenly distributed on both sides of themotorcycle. Ensure that the load iscorrectly secured such that it will notmove around while the motorcycle isin motion.Always check the load securityregularly (though not while themotorcycle is in motion) and ensurethat the load does not extend beyondthe rear of the motorcycle.Never exceed the maximum vehicleloading weight of:Tiger XRX – 219 kg (483 lb)Tiger XCX – 217 kg (478 lb).This maximum loading weight is madeup from the combined weight of therider, passenger, any accessoriesfitted and any load carried.

Warning

Do not install accessories or carryluggage that impairs the control of themotorcycle. Make sure that you havenot adversely affected the visibility ofany lighting component, roadclearance, banking capability (i.e. leanangle), control operation, wheel travel,front fork movement, visibility in anydirection, or any other aspect of themotorcycle's operation.

Warning


Warning

Only operate this Triumph motorcycleat high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed-courseracetracks. High-speed operationshould only then be attempted byriders who have been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high-speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and willlead to loss of motorcycle control andan accident.


104

Warning

Your passenger should be instructedthat he or she can cause loss ofmotorcycle control by making suddenmovements or by adopting anincorrect seated position.The rider should instruct thepassenger as follows:• It is important that the passenger

sits still while the motorcycle is inmotion and does not interfere withthe operation of the motorcycle.

• To keep his or her feet on thepassenger footrests and to firmlyhold onto the seat strap or therider's waist or hips.

• Advise the passenger to lean withthe rider when travelling aroundcorners and not to lean unless therider does so.

Warning

Do not carry animals on yourmotorcycle.An animal could make sudden andunpredictable movements that couldlead to loss of motorcycle control andan accident.

Warning

The handling and braking capabilitiesof a motorcycle will be affected by thepresence of a passenger. The ridermust make allowances for thesechanges when operating themotorcycle with a passenger andshould not attempt such operationunless trained to do so and withoutbecoming familiar and comfortablewith the changes in motorcycleoperating characteristics that thisbrings about.Motorcycle operation without makingallowances for the presence of apassenger could lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Never attempt to store any itemsbetween the frame and the fuel tank.This can restrict the steering and willcause loss of control leading to anaccident.Weight attached to the handlebar orfront fork will increase the mass of thesteering assembly and can result inloss of steering control leading to anaccident.

105

Warning

Do not carry a passenger unless he orshe is tall enough to reach thefootrests provided.A passenger who is not tall enough toreach the footrests will be unable tosit securely on the motorcycle andmay cause instability leading to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Never ride an accessory equippedmotorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying apayload of any kind, at speeds above80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both ofthese conditions, speeds in excess of80 mph (130 km/h) should not beattempted even where the legal speedlimit permits this.The presence of accessories and/orpayload will cause changes in thestability and handling of themotorcycle.Failure to allow for changes inmotorcycle stability may lead to lossof motorcycle control and an accident. Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)absolute limit will be reduced by thefitting of non-approved accessories,incorrect loading, worn tyres, overallmotorcycle condition and poor road orweather conditions.

Warning

If the passenger seat is used to carrysmall objects, they must not exceed5 kg in weight, must not impair controlof the motorcycle, must be securelyattached and must not extend beyondthe rear or sides of the motorcycle.Carrying objects in excess of 5 kg inweight, that are insecure, impaircontrol or extend beyond the rear orsides of the motorcycle may lead toloss of motorcycle control and anaccident.Even if small objects are correctlyloaded onto the pillion seat, themaximum speed of the motorcyclemust be reduced to 80 mph(130 km/h).

Engine Oil

In order for the engine, transmission,and clutch to function correctly,maintain the engine oil at the correctlevel, and change the oil and oil filter inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Oil Level Inspection

1. Filler2. Sight glass3. Oil level (correct level shown)4. Crankcase oil level lines

Start the engine and run at idle forapproximately five minutes.

Warning

Motorcycle operation with insufficient,deteriorated, or contaminated engineoil will cause accelerated engine wearand may result in engine ortransmission seizure. Seizure of theengine or transmission may lead tosudden loss of control and anaccident.

cbnz

Warning

Never start the engine or run theengine in a confined area. Exhaustfumes are poisonous and can causeloss of consciousness and deathwithin a short period of time. Alwaysoperate your motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequateventilation.

Caution

Running the engine with insufficient oilwill cause engine damage. If the low oilpressure indicator remains on, stopthe engine immediately andinvestigate the cause.

Stop the engine, then wait for at leastthree minutes for the oil to settle.Note the oil level visible in the sightglass.When correct, oil should be visible in thesight glass at a point midway betweenthe upper (maximum) and lower(minimum) horizontal lines marked onthe crankcase.

Note:

• An accurate indication of the level ofoil in the engine is only shown whenthe engine is at normal operatingtemperature and the motorcycle isupright (not on the side stand).

If it is necessary to top up the oil level,remove the filler plug and add oil, a littleat a time, until the level registered in thesight glass is correct. Once the correct level is reached, fit andtighten the filler plug.

Oil and Oil Filter Change

1. Oil drain plug2. Oil filter

The engine oil and filter must bereplaced in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Warm up the engine thoroughly, andthen stop the engine and secure themotorcycle in an upright position onlevel ground.Place an oil drain pan beneath theengine.Remove the oil drain plug.

Unscrew and remove the oil filter usingTriumph service tool T3880313. Disposeof the old oil filter in an environmentallyfriendly way.Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil tothe sealing ring of the new oil filter. Fitthe oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm.After the oil has completely drained out,fit a new sealing washer to the drainplug. Fit and tighten the drain plug to25 Nm.

Warning

Prolonged or repeated contact withengine oil can lead to skin dryness,irritation and dermatitis. In addition,used engine oil contains harmfulcontamination that can lead to skincancer. Always wear suitableprotective clothing and avoid skincontact with used oil.

Warning

The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoidcontact with the hot oil by wearingsuitable protective clothing, gloves,eye protection, etc. Contact with hotoil may cause the skin to be scalded orburned.


116

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50semi or fully synthetic motorcycleengine oil that meets specificationAPI SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such asCastrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fullysynthetic).Start the engine and allow it to idle for aminimum of 30 seconds.

Ensure that the low oil pressure warninglight remains off and the oil Pr messageis not visible in the instrument displayscreen.Stop the engine and recheck the oil level.Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil FiltersTo protect the environment, do not pouroil on the ground, down sewers ordrains, or into watercourses. Do notplace used oil filters in with generalwaste. If in doubt, contact your localauthority.

Oil Specification and GradeTriumph high performance fuel injectedengines are designed to use 10W/40 or10W/50 semi or fully syntheticmotorcycle engine oil that meetsspecification API SH (or higher) andJASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1Racing 4T 10W/40 (fully synthetic)engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RSRacing 4T 10W/40 (fully synthetic) insome countries.Triumph recommends the fully synthetic10W/40 motorcycle engine oil for mostconditions. The oil viscosity may need tobe changed to accommodate theambient temperatures in you riding area.Refer to the chart below for the correctoil viscosity (10W/40 of 10W/50) to beused in your riding area.

Oil Viscosity Temperature Range

Do not add any chemical additives to theengine oil. The engine oil also lubricatesthe clutch and any additives could causethe clutch to slip.Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent oil, castor based oils or any oilnot conforming to the requiredspecification. The use of these oils maycause instant, severe engine damage.

Caution

Raising the engine speed above idlebefore the oil reaches all parts of theengine can cause engine damage orseizure. Only raise engine speed afterrunning the engine for 30 seconds toallow the oil to circulate fully.

Caution

If the engine oil pressure is too low,the low oil pressure warning light willilluminate. If this light stays on whenthe engine is running, stop the engineimmediately and investigate thecause. Running the engine with low oilpressure will cause engine damage.

Cooling SystemTo ensure efficientengine cooling, checkthe coolant level eachday before riding themotorcycle, and topup the coolant if thelevel is low.

Note:

• A year-round, Hybrid Organic AcidTechnology (known as Hybrid OAT orHOAT) coolant is installed in thecooling system when the motorcycleleaves the factory. It is colouredgreen, contains a 50% solution ofethylene glycol based antifreeze, andhas a freezing point of -35°C (-31°F).

Corrosion InhibitorsTo protect the cooling system fromcorrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitorchemicals in the coolant is essential.If coolant containing a corrosioninhibitor is not used, the cooling systemwill accumulate rust and scale in thewater jacket and radiator. This will blockthe coolant passages, and considerablyreduce the efficiency of the coolingsystem.

Note:

• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, assupplied by Triumph, is premixed anddoes not need to be diluted prior tofilling or topping up the coolingsystem.

cbob

Warning

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant containscorrosion inhibitors and antifreezesuitable for aluminium engines andradiators. Always use the coolant inaccordance with the instructions ofthe manufacturer.Coolant that contains antifreeze andcorrosion inhibitors contains toxicchemicals that are harmful to thehuman body. Never swallow antifreezeor any of the motorcycle coolant.


118

Coolant Level Inspection

Note:

• The coolant level should be checkedwhen the engine is cold (at room orambient temperature).

1. Expansion tank2. MAX mark3. MIN mark

Position the motorcycle on level groundand in an upright position. Theexpansion tank can be viewed from theright hand side of the motorcycle, belowand towards the front of the fuel tank.Check the coolant level in the expansiontank. The coolant level must be betweenthe MAX and MIN marks. If the coolant isbelow the minimum level, the coolantlevel must be adjusted.

Coolant Level Adjustment

1. Expansion tank (fuel tank shown removed for clarity)

2. Expansion tank cap

Allow the engine to cool.The expansion tank cap can be removedfrom the right hand side of themotorcycle, between the front of thefuel tank and the frame.Remove the cap from the expansiontank and add coolant mixture throughthe filler opening until the level reachesthe MAX mark. Refit the cap.

12

3

Warning

Do not remove the expansion tank orradiator pressure cap when theengine is hot. When the engine is hot,the coolant inside the radiator will behot and also under pressure. Contactwith this hot, pressurised coolant willcause scalds and skin damage.

cgis


119

Note:

• If the coolant level is being checkedbecause the coolant has overheated,also check the level in the radiatorand top up if necessary.

• In an emergency, distilled water canbe added to the cooling system.However, the coolant must then bedrained and replenished with HD4XHybrid OAT coolant as soon aspossible.

Coolant ChangeHave the coolant changed by anauthorised Triumph dealer in accordancewith scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Radiator and HosesCheck the radiator hoses for cracks ordeterioration, and hose clips fortightness in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements. Have yourauthorised Triumph dealer replace anydefective items.Check the radiator grille and fins forobstructions by insects, leaves or mud.Clean off any obstructions with a streamof low-pressure water.

Caution

If hard water is used in the coolingsystem, it will cause scaleaccumulation in the engine andradiator and considerably reduce theefficiency of the cooling system.Reduced cooling system efficiencymay cause the engine to overheat andsuffer severe damage.

Warning

The fan operates automatically whenthe engine is running. Always keephands and clothing away from the fanas contact with the rotating fan cancause injury.

Caution

Using high-pressure water sprays,such as from a car wash facility orhousehold pressure washer, candamage the radiator fins, cause leaksand impair the radiator's efficiency.Do not obstruct or deflect airflowthrough the radiator by installingunauthorised accessories, either infront of the radiator or behind thecooling fan. Interference with theradiator airflow can causeoverheating, potentially resulting inengine damage.


120

Throttle Control

Inspection

Check that the throttle opens smoothly,without undue force and that it closeswithout sticking. Have your authorisedTriumph dealer check the throttlesystem if a problem is detected or anydoubt exists.Check that there is 1 - 2 mm of throttlegrip free play when lightly turning thethrottle grip back and forth.If there is an incorrect amount of freeplay, Triumph recommends that youhave your authorised Triumph dealerinvestigate.

Clutch

1. Clutch lever2. 2 - 3 mm

The motorcycle is equipped with a cable-operated clutch.If the clutch lever has excessive freeplay, the clutch may not disengage fully.This will cause difficulty in changinggear and selecting neutral. This maycause the engine to stall and make themotorcycle difficult to control.Conversely, if the clutch lever hasinsufficient free play the clutch may notengage fully, causing the clutch to slip,which will reduce performance andcause premature clutch wear.Clutch lever free play must be checked inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Warning

Always be alert for changes in the'feel' of the throttle control and havethe throttle system checked by anauthorised Triumph dealer if anychanges are detected. Changes can bedue to wear in the mechanism, whichcould lead to a sticking throttlecontrol.A sticking or stuck throttle control willlead to loss of motorcycle control andan accident.

Warning

Use of the motorcycle with a stickingor damaged throttle control willinterfere with the throttle functionresulting in loss of motorcycle controland an accident.To avoid continued use of a sticking ordamaged throttle control, always haveit checked by your authorised Triumphdealer.

121

InspectionCheck that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch leverfree play at the lever.If there is an incorrect amount of freeplay, adjustments must be made.

AdjustmentTurn the adjuster sleeve until thecorrect amount of clutch lever free playis achieved.If correct adjustment cannot be madeusing the lever adjuster, use the cableadjuster at the lower end of the cable.Loosen the adjuster lock nut.Turn the outer cable adjuster to give2 - 3 mm of free play at the clutch lever.Tighten the lock nut.

Drive Chain

For safety and to prevent excessivewear the drive chain must be checked,adjusted and lubricated in accordancewith scheduled maintenancerequirements. Checking, adjustment andlubrication must be carried out morefrequently for extreme conditions suchas salty or heavily gritted roads.If the chain is badly worn or incorrectlyadjusted (either too loose or too tight)the chain could jump off the sprocketsor break. Therefore, always replace wornor damaged chains using genuineTriumph parts supplied by an authorisedTriumph dealer.

Warning

A loose or worn chain, or a chain thatbreaks or jumps off the sprocketscould catch on the engine sprocket orlock the rear wheel.A chain that snags on the enginesprocket will injure the rider and leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.Similarly, locking the rear wheel willlead to loss of motorcycle control andan accident.

cbnz


122

Chain LubricationLubrication is necessary every 200 miles(300 km) and also after riding in wetweather, on wet roads, or any time thatthe chain appears dry.Use the special chain lubricant asrecommended in the Specificationssection.Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollersthen allow the motorcycle to standunused for at least eight hours(overnight is ideal). This will allow the oilto penetrate to the chain O-rings etc.Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.If the chain is especially dirty, clean firstand then apply oil as mentioned above.

Chain Free-Movement Inspection

1. Maximum movement position

Place the motorcycle on a level surfaceand hold it in an upright position with noweight on it.Rotate the rear wheel by pushing themotorcycle to find the position wherethe chain is tightest, and measure thevertical movement of the chain midwaybetween the sprockets.

Chain Free-Movement AdjustmentThe vertical movement of the drive chainmust be in the range 20 - 30 mm.

1. Adjuster bolt2. Adjuster bolt lock nut3. Rear wheel spindle nut

Caution

Do not use a pressure washer to cleanthe chain as this may cause damageto the chain components.

Loosen the wheel spindle nut.Loosen the lock nuts on both the lefthand and right hand chain adjusterbolts.Moving both adjusters by an equalamount, turn the adjuster boltsclockwise to increase chain freemovement and anticlockwise to reducechain free movement.When the correct amount of chain freemovement has been set, push the wheelinto firm contact with the adjusters.Tighten both adjuster lock nuts to20 Nm and the rear wheel spindle nut to110 Nm.Repeat the chain adjustment check.Readjust if necessary.

Check the rear brake effectiveness.Rectify if necessary.

Chain and Sprocket Wear Inspection

1. Measure across 20 links2. Weight

Remove the chain guard.Stretch the chain taut by hanging a10 - 20 kg (20 - 40 lb) weight on thechain.Measure the length of 20 links on thestraight part of the chain from pincentre of the 1st pin to the pin centre ofthe 21st pin. Since the chain may wearunevenly, take measurements in severalplaces.If the length exceeds the maximumservice limit of 319 mm, the chain mustbe replaced.Rotate the rear wheel and inspect thedrive chain for damaged rollers, andloose pins and links.

Warning

Operation of the motorcycle withinsecure adjuster lock nuts or a loosewheel spindle may result in impairedstability and handling of themotorcycle. This impaired stability andhandling may lead to loss of control oran accident.

Warning

It is dangerous to operate themotorcycle with defective brakes; youmust have your authorised Triumphdealer take remedial action before youattempt to ride the motorcycle again.Failure to take remedial action mayreduce braking efficiency leading toloss of motorcycle control or anaccident.

Brakes

Brake Wear Inspection

1. Brake pads2. Minimum thickness line

Brake pads must be inspected inaccordance with scheduledrequirements and replaced if worn to, orbeyond the minimum service thickness.If the lining thickness of any brake pad(front or rear brakes) is less than 1.5 mm(0.06 in), that is, if the brake pad hasworn down to the bottom of thegrooves, replace all the brake pads onthe wheel.

Breaking-in Replacement Brake Discs and/or Brake PadsAfter replacement brake discs and/orbrake pads have been fitted to themotorcycle, Triumph recommend aperiod of careful breaking-in that willoptimise the performance and longevityof the brake discs and brake pads. Therecommended distance for breaking-innew brake discs and brake pads is200 miles (300 km).After fitting new brake discs and/orbrake pads avoid extreme braking, ridewith caution and allow for greaterbraking distances during the breaking-inperiod.

Brake Pad Wear CompensationBrake disc and brake pad wear isautomatically compensated for and hasno effect on the brake lever or pedalaction. There are no parts that requireadjustment on the front and rearbrakes.

Disc Brake FluidInspect the level of brake fluid in bothreservoirs and change the brake fluid inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid asrecommended in the Specificationssection. The brake fluid must also bechanged if it becomes, or is suspected ofhaving become contaminated withmoisture or any other contaminants.

Warning

Brake pad wear will be increased if themotorcycle is used frequently off-road. Always inspect the brake padsmore frequently if the motorcycle isused off-road, and replace the brakepads before they become worn to, orbeyond the minimum servicethickness. Riding with worn brake pads mayreduce braking efficiency, leading toloss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

Warning

If the brake lever or pedal feels softwhen it is applied, or if the lever/pedaltravel becomes excessive, there maybe air in the brake pipes and hoses orthe brakes may be defective.It is dangerous to operate themotorcycle under such conditions andyour authorised Triumph dealer mustrectify the fault before riding.Riding with defective brakes may leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

Warning

Brake fluid is hygroscopic whichmeans it will absorb moisture from theair.Any absorbed moisture will greatlyreduce the boiling point of the brakefluid causing a reduction in brakingefficiency.Because of this, always replace brakefluid in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.Always use new brake fluid from asealed container and never use fluidfrom an unsealed container or fromone which has been previouslyopened.Do not mix different brands or gradesof brake fluid.Check for fluid leakage around brakefittings, seals and joints and alsocheck the brake hoses for splits,deterioration and damage.Always rectify any faults before riding.Failure to observe and act upon any ofthese items may cause a dangerousriding condition leading to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Tyre Inflation PressuresCorrect tyre inflation pressures willprovide maximum stability, rider comfortand tyre life. Always check tyrepressures before riding when the tyresare cold. Check tyre pressures daily andadjust if necessary (see Specificationssection for correct inflation pressures).Alternatively, ask your authorisedTriumph dealer to inspect your wheelsand tyres.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (If Fitted)The tyre pressures shown on yourinstruments indicate the actual tyrepressure at the time of selecting thedisplay. This may differ from the inflationpressure set when the tyres are coldbecause tyres become warmer duringriding, causing the air in the tyre toexpand and increase the inflationpressure. The cold inflation pressuresspecified by Triumph take account ofthis.Owners must only adjust tyre pressureswhen the tyres are cold using anaccurate pressure gauge, and must notuse the tyre pressure display on theinstruments.

Warning

Incorrect tyre inflation will causeabnormal tread wear and instabilityproblems which may lead to loss ofcontrol and an accident.Underinflation may result in the tyreslipping on, or coming off the rim.Over-inflation will cause instability andaccelerated tread wear.Both conditions are dangerous asthey may cause loss of control leadingto an accident.

Warning

Tyre pressures which have beenreduced for off-road riding will impairon-road stability. Always ensure thetyre pressures are set as described inthe Specifications section for on-roaduse.Operation of the motorcycle withincorrect tyre pressures may causeloss of motorcycle control leading toan accident.


139

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyrebecomes more susceptible to punctures.It is estimated that 90% of all tyreproblems occur during the last 10% oftread life (90% worn). It is therefore notrecommended to use tyres until they areworn to their minimum.

Minimum Recommended Tread DepthIn accordance with the periodicmaintenance chart, measure the depthof the tread with a depth gauge, andreplace any tyre that has worn to, orbeyond, the minimum allowable treaddepth specified in the table below:

Under 130 km/h (80 mph)

2 mm (0.08 in)

Over 130 km/h (80 mph)

Rear 3 mm (0.12 in) Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

Warning


cboa

Warning

Only operate this Triumph motorcycleat high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed-courseracetracks. High-speed operationshould only then be attempted byriders who have been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high-speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions. High-speed operation inany other circumstances is dangerousand will lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Warning

Operation with excessively worn tyresis hazardous and will adversely affecttraction, stability and handling whichmay lead to loss of control and anaccident.When tyres become punctured,leakage is often very slow. Alwaysinspect tyres very closely forpunctures. Check the tyres for cuts,embedded nails or other sharpobjects. Operation with punctured ordamaged tyres will adversely affectstability and handling which may leadto loss of control or an accident.Check the rims for dents ordeformation and spokes for loosenessand damage. Operation with damagedor defective wheels, spokes or tyres isdangerous and loss of control or anaccident could result.Always consult your authorisedTriumph dealer for tyre replacement,or for a safety inspection of thewheels, spokes and tyres.

Tyre Replacement

Note:

• Some brands of approved tyremarked TUBELESS may be suitablefor use with an inner tube. Wherethis is the case, the tyre wall will bemarked with text permitting thefitment of an inner tube.

All Triumph motorcycles are carefullyand extensively tested in a range ofriding conditions to ensure that themost effective tyre combinations areapproved for use on each model. It isessential that approved tyres and innertubes (if installed) fitted in approvedcombinations, are used when purchasingreplacement items. The use of non-approved tyres and inner tubes, orapproved tyres and inner tubes in non-approved combinations, may lead tomotorcycle instability, loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident. On models fitted with ABS, differentwheel speeds, caused by non-approvedtyres, can affect the function of the ABScomputer.See the Specifications section for detailsof approved tyre and inner tubecombinations. Always have tyres andinner tubes fitted and balanced by yourauthorised Triumph dealer who has thenecessary training and skills to ensuresafe, effective fitment.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Only on models fitted with TPMS)

Warning

Inner tubes must only be used onmotorcycles fitted with spoked wheelsand with tyres marked TUBE TYPE.Use of an inner tube with a tyremarked TUBELESS and/or on an alloywheel can lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Warning

Do not install tube-type tyres ontubeless rims. The bead will not seatand the tyres could slip on the rims,causing rapid tyre deflation that mayresult in a loss of motorcycle controland an accident. Never install an innertube inside a tubeless tyre. This willcause friction inside the tyre and theresulting heat build-up may cause thetube to burst resulting in rapid tyredeflation, loss of motorcycle controland an accident.

Caution

An adhesive label is fitted to the wheelrim to indicate the position of the tyrepressure sensor. Care must be takenwhen replacing the tyres to preventany damage to the tyre pressuresensors. Always have your tyres fittedby your authorised Triumph dealerand inform them that tyre pressuresensors are fitted to the wheels.


141

Caution

Do not use anti puncture fluid or anyother item likely to obstruct air flow tothe TPMS sensor's orifices. Anyblockage to the air pressure orifice ofthe TPMS sensor during operation willcause the sensor to become blocked,causing irreparable damage to theTPMS sensor assembly. Damagecaused by the use of anti puncturefluid or incorrect maintenance is notconsidered a manufacturing defectand will not be covered underwarranty. Always have your tyresfitted by your authorised Triumphdealer and inform them that tyrepressure sensors are fitted to thewheels.

Warning

If a tyre or inner tube sustains apuncture, the tyre and inner tubemust be replaced. Failure to replace apunctured tyre and inner tube, oroperation with a repaired tyre or innertube can lead to instability, loss ofmotorcycle control or an accident.

Warning

If tyre or inner tube damage issuspected, such as after striking thekerb, ask your authorised Triumphdealer to inspect the tyre bothinternally and externally and to alsoinspect the inner tube. Remember,tyre damage may not always be visiblefrom the outside. Operation of themotorcycle with damaged tyres couldlead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

When replacement tyres or innertubes are required, consult yourauthorised Triumph dealer who willarrange for the tyres and inner tubesto be selected, in a correctcombination, from the approved listand fitted according to the tyre andinner tube manufacturer'sinstructions.When tyres and inner tubes arereplaced, allow time for the tyres andinner tubes to seat to the rim(approximately 24 hours). During thisseating period, ride cautiously as anincorrectly seated tyre or inner tubecould cause instability, loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.Initially, the new tyres and inner tubeswill not produce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyres andinner tubes and the rider must allowadequate riding distance(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) tobecome accustomed to the newhandling characteristics.24 hours after fitting, the tyrepressures must be checked andadjusted, and the tyres and innertubes examined for correct seating.Rectification must be carried out asnecessary.The same checks and adjustmentsmust also be carried out when100 miles (160 km) have been travelledafter fitting.Continued

BatteryWarning

ContinuedUse of a motorcycle with incorrectlyseated tyres or inner tubes,incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, orwhen not accustomed to its handlingcharacteristics may lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Tyres and inner tubes that have beenused on a rolling road dynamometermay become damaged. In some cases,the damage may not be visible on theexternal surface of the tyre.Tyres and inner tubes must bereplaced after such use as continueduse of a damaged tyre or inner tubemay lead to instability, loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Accurate wheel balance is necessaryfor safe, stable handling of themotorcycle. Do not remove or changeany wheel balance weights. Incorrectwheel balance may cause instabilityleading to loss of control and anaccident.When wheel balancing is required,such as after tyre or inner tubereplacement, see your authorisedTriumph dealer.Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip onweights may damage the wheel, tyreor inner tube resulting in tyredeflation, loss of motorcycle controland an accident.

The battery acid is corrosive andpoisonous and will cause damage tounprotected skin. Never swallowbattery acid or allow it to come intocontact with the skin. To preventinjury, always wear eye and skinprotection when handling the battery.


144

Battery Discharge

Under normal conditions, the motorcyclecharging system will keep the batteryfully charged. However, if the motorcycleis unused, the battery will graduallydischarge due to a normal process calledself discharge; the clock, engine controlmodule (ECM) memory, high ambienttemperatures, or the addition ofelectrical security systems or otherelectrical accessories will all increasethis rate of battery discharge.Disconnecting the battery from themotorcycle during storage will reducethe rate of discharge.

Battery Maintenance During Storage and Infrequent Use of the MotorcycleDuring storage or infrequent use of themotorcycle, inspect the battery voltageweekly using a digital multimeter. Followthe manufacturer's instructions suppliedwith the meter.Should the battery voltage fall below12.7 volts, the battery should be charged(see page 145).Allowing a battery to discharge orleaving it discharged for even a shortperiod of time causes sulphation of thelead plates. Sulphation is a normal partof the chemical reaction inside thebattery, however over time the sulphatecan crystallise on the plates makingrecovery difficult or impossible. Thispermanent damage is not covered bythe motorcycle warranty, as it is not dueto a manufacturing defect.Keeping the battery fully chargedreduces the likelihood of it freezing incold conditions. Allowing a battery tofreeze will cause serious internaldamage to the battery.

Caution

The charge level in the battery mustbe maintained to maximise battery life.Failure to maintain the battery chargelevel could cause serious internaldamage to the battery.


145

Battery ChargingFor help with selecting a batterycharger, checking the battery voltage orbattery charging, contact your localauthorised Triumph dealer.

Should the battery voltage fall below12.7 volts, the battery should be chargedusing a Triumph approved batterycharger. Always follow the instructionssupplied with the battery charger.For extended periods of storage (beyondtwo weeks) the battery should beremoved from the motorcycle and keptcharged using a Triumph approvedmaintenance charger.Similarly, should the battery charge fallto a level where it will not start themotorcycle, remove the battery from themotorcycle before charging.

Battery Installation

Place the battery in the battery case.Reconnect the battery, positive (red)lead first and tighten the batteryterminals to 4.5 Nm.Apply a light coat of grease to theterminals to prevent corrosion.Cover the positive terminal with theprotective cap.Refit the battery strap.Refit the rider's seat.

Caution

Any water sprayed around the airintake duct could enter the airbox andengine, causing damage to both items.

Caution

Use of high-pressure spray washers isnot recommended. When usingpressure washers, water may beforced into bearings and othercomponents causing premature wearfrom corrosion and loss of lubrication.

Warning

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.Loss of braking power and an accidentcould result. Clean the disc with aproprietary brand of oil-free brakedisc cleaner.

Caution

Use of chemicals or high-pressurespray washers is not recommendedfor cleaning the seat. Using chemicalsor pressure washers may damage theseat cover.
