FUEL REQUIREMENT
Your Triumph engine is designed to useunleaded fuel and will give optimumperformance if the correct grade of fuel isused. Always use unleaded fuel with anoctane rating of 95 RON.
CAUTION: Inmanycountries,the exhaust systems for this
model is fitted with catalyticconverters to help reduce exhaustemission levels. The catalyticconverters can be permanentlydamaged if the motorcycle is allowedto run out of fuel or if the fuel level isallowed to get very low. Alwaysensure you have adequate fuel foryour journey.
CAUTION: The use of leadedpetrol is illegal in some
countries, states or territories. Useofleaded fuel will damage the catalyticconverter.
REFUELLING
WARNING: To help reducehazards associated with fuel
handling, 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.
Make sure the refuelling area is wellventilated and free fromanysourceofflame 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,or any failure to observe the safetyadvice given above will lead to a firehazard which could cause damage toproperty, injury to persons or death.

RUNNING IN
R.P.M.
Running-in is the name given to the processthat occurs during the first hours of a newvehicle’s operation.
Inparticular, internal friction in the enginewillbe higher when components are new. Lateron, when continued operation of the enginehas ensured that the components have‘bedded in’, this internal friction will begreatly reduced.
A period of careful running in will ensurelower exhaust emissions, and will optimiseperformance, fuel economy and longevity ofthe engine and other motorcyclecomponents.
During the first 500miles (800 kilometres):--
S Do not use full throttle.
S Avoid high engine speeds at alltimes.
S Avoid riding at one constant enginespeed, whether fast or slow, for along period of time.
S Avoid aggressive starts, stops, andrapid accelerations, except in anemergency.
S Do not ride at speeds greater than3/4 of maximum speed.
From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to 1500kilometres):--
S Engine speed can gradually beincreased to the rev limit for shortperiods.
Both during and after running in has beencompleted:--
S Do not over--rev the engine whencold.
S Do not let the engine labour. Alwaysdownshift before the engine beginsto ‘struggle’.
S Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Changing up agear helps reduce fuel consumption,reduces noise and helps to protectthe environment.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers
Page 41
The addition of accessories and carriage ofadditional weight can affect themotorcycle’shandling characteristics causing changes instability and necessitating a reduction inspeed. The following information has beenprepared as a guide to the potential hazardsof adding accessories to a motorcycle andcarrying passengers and additional loads.
WARNING: Incorrect loadingmay result in an unsafe riding
condition leading to an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried areevenly distributed on both sides ofthe motorcycle. Ensure that the loadis correctly secured such that it willnot move around while themotorcycle is in 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 195 Kg (429 lbs).
This maximum weight is made upfromthecombinedweightof the rider,passenger and any load carried.
WARNING: Do not installaccessories or carry luggage
that impairs the control of themotorcycle. Make sure that you havenot adversely affected any lightingcomponent, road clearance, bankingcapability (i.e. lean angle), controloperation, wheel travel, front forkmovement, visibility in any direction,or any other aspect of themotorcycle’s operation.
WARNING: Never ride anaccessory equipped
motorcycle at speeds above 80 mph(130 km/h).
Speeds in excess of 130 km/h (80mph) should not be attempted on anaccessory equippedmotorcycle evenwhere the legal speed limit permitsthis.
The presence of accessories willcause changes in the stability andhandling of the motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes inmotorcycle stability may lead to lossof control or an accident.
Remember that the 130km/h (80mph)absolute limit will be reduced by thefitting of non--approved accessories,incorrect loading, worn tyres, overallmotorcycle condition and poor roador weather conditions.
WARNING: This motorcyclemust not be operated above
the legal road speed limit except inauthorised closed course conditions.
WARNING: Only operate thisTriumph motorcycle at high
speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed course racetracks. High speed operation shouldonly then be attempted by riders whohave been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle’s characteristics in allconditions. High speed operation inany other circumstances isdangerous and will lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING: The handling andbraking capabilities of 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 withoutmakingallowances for the presence of apassenger could lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.
WARNING: Your passengershould be thoroughly familiar
with motorcycle operation.
The passenger can cause loss ofcontrol of themotorcycle by incorrectpositioning during cornering andsudden movements.
It is important that the passenger sitsstill while the motorcycle is in motionand does not interfere with theoperation of the motorcycle.
If a passenger is carried, the ridershould instruct thepassenger tokeephis or her feet on the passengerfootrests and to firmly hold onto theseat strap or the rider’s waist or hips.
The passenger should also beadvised to lean with the rider whentravelling in corners and not to leanunless the rider does so.
Do not carry animals on yourmotorcycle.
WARNING: Do not carry apassenger unless he or she is
tall enough to reach the footrestsprovided.
A passenger who is not tall enough toreach the footrests will be unable tosit securely on the motorcycle andmay cause instability leading to lossof control and an accident.
WARNING: Never attempt tostore any items between the
frame and the fairing. This canrestrict the steering and will causeloss of control leading to an accident.
Weight attached to the handlebar orfront forkwill increase themassof thesteering assembly and can result inloss of steering control leading to anaccident.
WARNING: If the passengerseat is used to carry small
objects, they must not exceed 5kg inweight, must not impair control of themotorcycle, must be securelyattached andmust not extendbeyondthe rear and sides of the motorcycle.

Brake Wear Inspection
Brake pads must be inspected inaccordance with scheduled requirementsand replaced if worn to, or beyond theminimum service thickness.
If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rearbrakes) is less than 1.5mm (0.06 in), that is,if the pad has worn down to the bottomof thegrooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
WARNING: Brake pads mustalwaysbe replaced as awheel
set. At the front, where two calipersare fitted on the same wheel, replaceall the brake pads in both calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reducebraking efficiency and may cause anaccident.
After replacement brake pads havebeen fitted, ride with extreme cautionuntil the new pads have ‘broken in’.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Disc and disc pad wear is automaticallycompensated for and has no effect on thebrake lever or pedal action. There are noparts that require adjustment on the frontand rear brakes.
WARNING: If the brake leveror pedal feels soft when it is
applied, or if the lever/pedal travelbecomes excessive, there may be airin the brake lines or the brake may bedefective.
It is dangerous to operate themotorcycle under such conditionsand remedial action must be taken byyour authorised Triumph dealerbefore riding.
Ridingwith defectivebrakesmay leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.
Brake Light SwitchesThe brake light is activated independentlyby either the front or rear brake. If the brakelight does not work when the front brakelever is pulled, or the rear brake pedaldepressed, ask your authorised Triumphdealer to investigate and rectify the fault.

This motorcycleis equipped withtubeless tyres, valves and wheel rims. Useonly tyres marked ‘TUBELESS’ andtubeless valves on rims marked ‘SUITABLEFOR TUBELESS TYRES’.
Tyre Inflation Pressures
Correct inflation pressure will providemaximum stability, rider comfort and tyrelife. Always check tyre pressures beforeriding when the tyres are cold. Check tyrepressures daily and adjust if necessary.See the specification section for details ofthe correct inflation pressures.Alternatively, ask your authorised Triumphdealer to inspect your wheels and tyres.
TEC0043
Wheel Marking
WARNING: Incorrect tyreinflation will cause abnormal
tread wear and instability problemswhich may lead to loss of control andan accident.
Under--inflation may result in the tyreslipping on, or coming off the rim.Over--inflation will cause instabilityand accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous asthey may cause loss of controlleading to an accident.

Tyre Wear
As the tyre treadwears down, thetyre becomes more susceptible topunctures and failure. It is estimated that90% of all tyre problems occur during thelast 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is,therefore, false economy and unsafe to usetyres until they are worn to their minimum.
In accordance with the periodicmaintenance chart, measure the depth ofthe tread with a depth gauge, and replaceany tyre that has worn to the minimumrecommended tread depth specified in thetable below.
Minimum Recommended Tread Depth
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: This motorcyclemust not be operated above
the legal road speed limit except inauthorised closed course conditions.
WARNING: Only operate thisTriumph motorcycle at high
speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed course racetracks. High speed operation shouldonly then be attempted by riders whohave been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle’s characteristics in allconditions. High speed operation inany other circumstances isdangerous and will lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.
WARNING: Operation withexcessively worn tyres is
hazardous and will adversely affecttraction, stability and handling whichmay lead to loss of control and anaccident.
When tubeless tyres becomepunctured, leakage is often veryslow.Always inspect tyres very closely forpunctures. Check the tyres for cuts,imbedded nails or other sharpobjects. Operation with punctured ordamaged tyres will adversely affectstability and handlingwhichmay leadto loss of control or an accident.
Check the rims for dents ordeformation. Operation withdamaged or defective wheels or tyresis dangerous and lossof control or anaccident could result.
Always consult your authorisedTriumph dealer for tyre replacement,or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

Tyre Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully andextensively tested in a range of ridingconditions to ensure that the most effectivetyre combinations are approved for use oneach model. It is essential that approvedtyres, fitted in approved combinations, areused when purchasing replacement tyres.The use of non approved tyres, or approvedtyres in non approved combinations, maylead to motorcycle instability and anaccident. See the specification section fordetails of approved tyre combinations.Always have tyres fitted and balanced byyour authorised Triumph dealer who has thenecessary training and skills to ensure safe,effective fitment.
WARNING: If a tyre sustainsa puncture, the tyre must be
replaced. Failure to replace apunctured tyre, or operation with arepaired tyre can lead to instability,loss of control or an accident.
WARNING: Do not installtube--type tyres on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and thetyres could slip on the rims, causingrapid tyre deflation that may result ina loss of vehicle control and anaccident. Never install an inner tubeinside a tubeless tyre. This will causefriction inside the tyre and theresulting head build--up may causethe tube to burst resulting in rapidtyre deflation, loss of vehicle controland an accident.
WARNING: If tyre damage issuspected, such as after
striking the kerb, ask yourauthorisedTriumph dealer to inspect the tyreboth internally and externally.Remember, tyre damage may notalways be visible from the outside.Operation of the motorcycle withdamaged tyres could lead to loss ofcontrol and an accident.
WARNING: Whenreplacement tyres are
required, consult your authorisedTriumph dealer who will arrange forthe tyres to be selected, in a correctcombination, from the approved listand fitted according to the tyremanufacturer’s instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow timefor the tyres to seat to the rim(approximately 24hours). During thisseating period, ride cautiously as anincorrectly seated tyre could causeloss of control or an accident.
Initially, the new tyres will notproduce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyres andthe rider must allow adequate ridingdistance (approximately 100 miles) tobecome accustomed to the newhandling characteristics.
