Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel GradeYourTriumphengine isdesignedto use

unleaded fuel and will give optimumperformance if the correct grade offuel is used. Always use unleadedfuel with an octane rating of 95 RON.

CautionIn all countries, except Australia,Hong Kong, New Zealand, andSouth Africa the exhaust systemis fitted with catalytic converters tohelp reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converters canbe permanently damaged if themotorcycle is allowed to run out offuel or if the fuel level is allowed toget very low. Always ensure youhave adequate fuel for yourjourney.

CautionThe use of leaded fuel is illegal inmost countries, states orterritories. Use of leaded fuel willdamage the catalytic converter (iffitted).

WarningTo help reduce hazards associatedwith refuelling, always observe thefollowing fuel safety instructions:Petrol (fuel) is highly flammableand can be explosive under certainconditions. When refuelling, turnthe ignition switch to the `OFF'position.Do not smoke.Make sure the refuelling area iswell ventilated and free from anysource of flame or sparks. Thisincludes any appliance with a pilotlight.Never fill the tank until the fuellevel rises into the filler neck. Heatfrom sunlight or other sources maycause the fuel to expand andoverflow creating a fire hazard.After refuelling always check thatthe fuel filler cap is correctlyclosed and locked.Because petrol (fuel) is highlyflammable, any fuel leak orspillage, or any failure to observethe safety advice given above willlead to a fire hazard, which couldcause damage to property, injuryto persons or death.

Stand

Side Stand

1 Side standThe motorcycle is equipped with aside stand on which the motorcyclecan be parked.

NOTE• When using the side stand,

always turn the handlebars fullyto the left and leave themotorcycle in first gear.

WarningOverfilling the tank can lead to fuelspillage.If fuel is spilled, thoroughly cleanup the spillage immediately anddispose of the materials usedsafely.Take care not to spill any fuel onthe engine, exhaust pipes, tyres orany other part of the motorcycle. Because fuel is highly flammable,any fuel leak or spillage, or anyfailure to observe the safety advicegiven above may lead to a firehazard, which could cause damageto property and injury or death topersons.Fuel spilled near to, or onto thetyres will reduce the tyre's abilityto grip the road. This will give riseto a dangerous riding conditionpotentially causing loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningThe motorcycle is fitted with aninterlock system to prevent it frombeing ridden with the side stand inthe down position. Never attempt to ride with the sidestand down or interfere with theinterlock mechanism as this willcause a dangerous riding conditionleading to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

General Information

Whenever the side stand is usedbefore riding, always ensure that thestand is fully up after first sitting onthe motorcycle.For instructions on safe parking,refer to the `How to Ride theMotorcycle' section.

Tool Kit and HandbookThe tool kit is located in a dedicatedbox beneath the seat(s).

Seat Lock

1 Seat lockThe seat lock is located on the lefthand side of the battery tray, in linewith the footrest mounting rail. Toremove the seat, insert the ignitionkey into the seat lock and turn itanti-clockwise while pressing downon the rear of the seat. This willrelease the seat from its lock andallow it to be slid rearwards for

complete removal from themotorcycle.To refit the seat, engage the seat'stongue under the fuel tank and pressdown at the rear to engage in theseat lock.

Running-InRunning-inis thenamegiven tothe

process that occurs during the firsthours of a new vehicle's operation. In particular, internal friction in theengine will be higher whencomponents are new. Later on, whencontinued operation of the enginehas ensured that the componentshave 'bedded in', this internalfriction will be greatly reduced.A period of careful running in willensure lower exhaust emissions, andwill optimise performance, fueleconomy and longevity of the engineand other motorcycle components.

General Information

During the first 500 miles (800kilometres):• Do not use full throttle.• Avoid high engine speeds at all

times.• Avoid riding at one constant

engine speed, whether fast orslow, for a long period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops,and rapid accelerations, exceptin an emergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greaterthan 3/4 of maximum speed.

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to1500 kilometres):• Engine speed can gradually be

increased to the rev limit forshort periods.

• Both during and after running inhas been completed:-

• Do not over-rev the enginewhen cold.

• Do not let the engine labour.Always downshift before theengine begins to 'struggle'.

• Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Changingup a gear helps reduce fuelconsumption, reduces noiseand helps to protect theenvironment.

Safe Operation

Daily Safety ChecksCheck thefollowingitems eachday beforeyou ride.The time

required is minimal, and thesechecks will help ensure a safe,reliable ride.If any irregularities are found duringthese checks, refer to theMaintenance and Adjustment sectionor see your authorised Triumphdealer for the action required toreturn the motorcycle to a safeoperating condition.

Check:

Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, nofuel leaks (page 37).Engine oil: Correct level on dipstick.Add correct specification oil asrequired. No leaks from the engineor oil cooler (page 62).Drive chain: Correct adjustment(page 71).

WarningFailure to perform these checksevery day before you ride mayresult in serious motorcycledamage or an accident causingserious injury or death.

the needle to return to zerobefore starting the engine.

• In very cold conditions, partopen the throttle to aid coldstarting. Return it to theclosed position once theengine has started.

• The motorcycle is equipped withstarter lockout switches. Theswitches prevent the electricstarter from operating when thetransmission is not in neutralwith the sidestand down.

• If the sidestand is extendedwhilst the engine is running,and the transmission is not inneutral then the engine willstop irrespective of clutchposition.

Moving OffPull in the clutch lever and selectfirst gear. Open the throttle a littleand let out the clutch lever slowly. Asthe clutch starts to engage, open thethrottle a little more, allowingenough engine speed to avoidstalling.

WarningNever start the engine or run theengine in a confined area. Exhaustfumes are poisonous and cancause loss of consciousness anddeath within a short period oftime. Always operate yourmotorcycle in the open-air or in anarea with adequate ventilation.

CautionDo not operate the startercontinuously for more than 5seconds as the starter motor willoverheat and the battery willbecome discharged. Wait 15seconds between each operation ofthe starter to allow for cooling andrecovery of battery power.Do not let the engine idle for longperiods as this may lead tooverheating which will causedamage to the engine.

CautionThe low oil pressure warning lightshould go out shortly after theengine starts.If the low oil pressure warninglight stays on after starting theengine, stop the engineimmediately and investigate thecause. Running the engine withlow oil pressure will cause severeengine damage.



46


Changing Gears

1 Gear Change PedalClose the throttle while pullingin the clutch lever. Change intothe next higher or lower gear.Open the throttle part way,while releasing the clutch lever.Always use the clutch when

changing gear.

NOTE• The gear change mechanism

is the 'positive stop' type.This means that, for eachmovement of the gearchange pedal, you can onlyselect each gear, one afterthe other, in ascending ordescending order.

1jako

WarningTake care to avoid opening thethrottle too far in any of the lowergears as this can lead to the frontwheel lifting from the ground(pulling a 'wheelie') and to the reartyre breaking traction (wheelspin).Always open the throttlecautiously, particularly if you areunfamiliar with the motorcycle, asa `wheelie' or loss of traction willcause loss of motorcycle controland an accident.

WarningDo not change to a lower gear atspeeds that will cause excessiveengine rpm (r/min). This can lockthe rear wheel causing loss ofcontrol and an accident. Enginedamage may also be caused.Changing down should be donesuch that low engine speeds willbe ensured.



47


Braking

1 Front brake lever

1 Rear brake pedal

WarningWHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE

THE FOLLOWING:Close the throttle completely,leaving the clutch engaged toallow the engine to help slow downthe motorcycle.Change down one gear at a timesuch that the transmission is infirst gear when the motorcyclecomes to a complete stop.When stopping, always apply bothbrakes at the same time. Normallythe front brake should be applied alittle more than the rear.Change down or fully disengagethe clutch as necessary to keepthe engine from stalling.Never lock the brakes, as this maycause loss of control of themotorcycle and an accident.

ccqc

WarningFor emergency braking, disregarddown changing, and concentrateon applying the front and rearbrakes as hard as possible withoutskidding. Riders should practiceemergency braking in a traffic-freearea.Triumph strongly recommends thatall riders take a course ofinstruction, which includes adviceon safe brake operation. Incorrectbrake technique could result inloss of control and an accident.

ccox

48


WarningFor your safety, always exerciseextreme caution when braking,accelerating or turning as anyincautious action can cause loss ofcontrol and an accident.Independent use of the front orrear brakes reduces overallbraking performance. Extremebraking may cause either wheel tolock, reducing control of themotorcycle and causing anaccident.When possible, reduce speed orbrake before entering a turn asclosing the throttle or braking inmid-turn may cause wheel slipleading to loss of control and anaccident.When riding in wet or rainyconditions, or on loose surfaces,the ability to manoeuvre and stopwill be reduced. All of your actionsshould be smooth under theseconditions. Sudden acceleration,braking or turning may cause lossof control and an accident.

WarningWhen descending a long steepgradient, use engine braking bydown changing and use the brakesintermittently. Continuous brakeapplication can overheat thebrakes and reduce theireffectiveness.Riding with your foot on the brakepedal or your hands on the brakelever may actuate the brake light,giving a false indication to otherroad users. It may also overheatthe brake, reducing brakingeffectiveness.Do not coast with the engineswitched off, and do not tow themotorcycle. The transmission ispressure-lubricated only when theengine is running. Inadequatelubrication may cause damage orseizure of the transmission, whichcan lead to sudden loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.



49


Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignitionswitch to the 'OFF' position.Lock the steering to help preventtheft.Always park on a firm, level surfaceto prevent the motorcycle fromfalling.When parking on a hill, always parkfacing uphill to prevent themotorcycle from rolling off thestand. Engage first gear to preventthe motorcycle from moving. On a lateral (sideways) incline,always park such that the inclinenaturally pushes the motorcycletowards the sidestand.Do not park on a lateral (sideways)incline of greater than 6 o and neverpark facing downhill.

NOTE• When parking near traffic at

night, or when parking in alocation where parking

lights are required by law,leave the tail, licence plateand position lights on byturning the ignition switchto P (Park).

Do not leave the switch in the 'P'position for long periods-of-time asthis will discharge the battery.

ccms

WarningDo not park on a soft or on asteeply inclined surface as parkingunder these conditions may causethe motorcycle to fall over. Ensure that the stand is fullyretracted before riding off.Petrol is extremely flammable andcan be explosive under certainconditions. If parking inside agarage or other structure, be sureit is well ventilated and themotorcycle is not close to anysource of flame or sparks. Thisincludes any appliance with a pilotlight.The engine and exhaust systemwill be hot after riding. DO NOTpark where pedestrians andchildren are likely to touch themotorcycle as touching any of thehot parts may cause unprotectedskin to become burnt.

Considerations for HighSpeed Operation

GeneralEnsure the motorcycle has beenmaintained according to thescheduled maintenance chart.

SteeringCheck that the handlebar turnssmoothly without excessive free playor tight spots. Ensure that thecontrol cables do not restrict thesteering in any way.

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

WarningThis Triumph motorcycle should beoperated within the legal speedlimits for the particular roadtravelled. Operating a motorcycleat high speeds can be potentiallydangerous since the time availableto react to given traffic situationsis greatly reduced as road speedincreases. Always reduce speed inconsideration of weather andtraffic conditions.

WarningOnly operate this Triumphmotorcycle at high speed inclosed-course on-road competitionor on closed course racetracks.High-speed operation should onlythen be attempted by riders whohave been instructed in thetechniques necessary for highspeed riding and are familiar withthe motorcycle's characteristics inall conditions.High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous andwill lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

WarningThe handling characteristics of amotorcycle at high speed may varyfrom those you are familiar with atlegal road speeds. Do not attempthigh-speed operation unless youhave received sufficient trainingand have the required skills as aserious accident may result fromincorrect operation.

WarningThe items listed are extremelyimportant and must never beneglected. A problem, which maynot be noticed at normal operatingspeeds, may be greatlyexaggerated at high speeds.



51


BrakesCheck that the front and rear brakesare functioning properly.

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard ontyres, and tyres that are in goodcondition are crucial to riding safely.Examine their overall condition,inflate to the correct pressure (whenthe tyres are cold), and check thewheel balance. Securely fit the valvecaps after checking tyre pressures.Observe the information given in themaintenance and specificationsections on tyre checking and tyresafety.

FuelHave sufficient fuel for the increasedfuel consumption that will resultfrom high-speed operation.

Engine OilMake certain that the engine oil levelis correct. Ensure that the correctgrade and type of oil is used whentopping-up.

CoolantCheck that the coolant level is at theupper level line in the expansiontank. (Always check the level withthe engine cold).

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

MiscellaneousVisually check that all fixings aretight.

CautionIn all countries, except Australia,Hong Kong, New Zealand andSouth Africa the exhaust system isfitted with a catalytic converter tohelp reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converter canbe permanently damaged if themotorcycle is allowed to run out offuel or if the fuel level is allowed toget very low. Always ensure youhave adequate fuel for yourjourney.



52

Accessories and Loading

ACCESSORIES AND LOADINGThe addition of accessories and carriage of additional weight can affect themotorcycle's handling characteristics causing changes in stability andnecessitating a reduction in speed. The following information has beenprepared as a guide to the potential hazards of adding accessories to amotorcycle and carrying passengers and additional loads.

WarningIncorrect loading may result in anunsafe riding condition leading toan accident. Always ensure any loads carriedare evenly distributed on bothsides of the motorcycle. Ensurethat the load is correctly securedsuch that it will not move aroundwhile the motorcycle is in motion.Always check the load securityregularly (though not while themotorcycle is in motion) andensure that the load does notextend beyond the rear of themotorcycle.Never exceed the maximumvehicle loading weight of 185 kg.This maximum loading weight ismade up from the combinedweight of the rider, passenger, anyaccessories fitted and any loadcarried.

WarningDo not install accessories or carryluggage that impairs the control ofthe motorcycle. Make sure thatyou have not adversely affectedthe visibility of any lightingcomponent, road clearance,banking capability (i.e. leanangle), control operation, wheeltravel, front fork movement,visibility in any direction, or anyother aspect of the motorcycle'soperation.



53


WarningNever ride an accessory equippedmotorcycle at speeds above thelegal speed limit or at a speedinappropriate for thecircumstances.Speeds in excess of 130 km/h (80mph) should not be attempted onan accessory equipped motorcycleeven where the legal speed limitpermits this.The presence of accessories willcause changes in the stability andhandling of the motorcycle.Failure to allow for changes inmotorcycle stability may lead toloss of control or an accident.Remember that the 130 km/h(80mph) absolute limit will bereduced by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrectloading, worn tyres, overallmotorcycle condition and poorroad or weather conditions.

WarningThis motorcycle must not beoperated above the legal roadspeed limit except in authorisedclosed course conditions.

WarningOnly operate this Triumphmotorcycle at high speed inclosed-course on-road competitionor on closed course racetracks.High-speed operation should onlythen be attempted by riders whohave been instructed in thetechniques necessary for highspeed riding and are familiar withthe motorcycle's characteristics inall conditions.High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous andwill lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.



54


WarningYour passenger should bethoroughly familiar with themotorcycle's operation.The passenger can cause loss ofcontrol of the motorcycle byincorrect positioning duringcornering and sudden movements.It is important that the passengersits still while the motorcycle is inmotion and does not interfere withthe operation of the motorcycle.If a passenger is carried, the ridershould instruct the passenger tokeep his or her feet on thepassenger footrests and to firmlyhold onto the seat strap or therider's waist or hips.The passenger should also beadvised to lean with the rider whentravelling around corners and notto lean unless the rider does so.Do not carry animals on yourmotorcycle.

WarningThe handling and brakingcapabilities of a motorcycle will beaffected by the presence of apassenger. The rider must makeallowances for these changeswhen operating the motorcyclewith a passenger and should notattempt such operation unlesstrained to do so and withoutbecoming familiar and comfortablewith the changes in motorcycleoperating characteristics that thisbrings about.Motorcycle operation withoutmaking allowances for thepresence of a passenger could leadto loss of motorcycle control andan accident.

WarningNever attempt to store any itemsbetween the frame and the fueltank. This can restrict the steeringand will cause loss of controlleading to an accident.Weight attached to the handlebaror front fork will increase the massof the steering assembly and canresult in loss of steering controlleading to an accident.



55


WarningDo not carry a passenger unlesshe or she is tall enough to reachthe footrests provided.A passenger who is not tall enoughto reach the footrests will beunable to sit securely on themotorcycle and may causeinstability leading to loss of controland an accident.

WarningIf the passenger seat is used tocarry small objects, they must notexceed 5 kg in weight, must notimpair control of the motorcycle,must be securely attached andmust not extend beyond the rearor sides of the motorcycle.Carriage of objects in excess of 5kg in weight, that are insecure,impair control or extend beyondthe rear or sides of the motorcyclemay lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Disposal of Used Engine Oiland Oil Filters

To protect the environment, do notpour oil on the ground, down sewersor drains, or into watercourses. Donot place used oil filters in withgeneral waste. If in doubt contactyour local authority.

Oil Specification and GradeTriumph high performance fuelinjected engines are designed to use10W/40 or 15W/50 semi or fullysynthetic motorcycle engine oil thatmeets specification API SH (orhigher) AND JASO MA.Do not add any chemical additives tothe engine oil. The engine oil alsolubricates the clutch and anyadditives could cause the clutch toslip.Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent oil, castor based oils orany oil not conforming to therequired specification. The use ofthese oils may cause instant, severeengine damage.

CautionRaising the engine speed aboveidle, before the oil reaches allparts of the engine can causeengine damage or seizure. Onlyraise engine speed after runningthe engine for a few seconds toallow the oil to circulate fully.

CautionIf the engine oil pressure is toolow, the low oil pressure warninglight will illuminate. If this lightstays on when the engine isrunning, stop the engineimmediately and investigate thecause. Running the engine withlow oil pressure will cause enginedamage.

Cooling SystemTo ensure efficientengine cooling,check the coolantlevel each daybefore riding the

motorcycle, and top up the coolant ifthe level is low.

Corrosion InhibitorsTo protect the cooling system fromcorrosion, the use of corrosioninhibitor chemicals in the coolant isessential.If coolant containing a corrosioninhibitor is not used, the coolingsystem will accumulate rust andscale in the water jacket and

radiator. This will block the coolantpassages, and considerably reducethe efficiency of the cooling system.

Coolant Level Inspection

1 Expansion tank2 Tank Cap3 MAX mark4 MIN mark

Position the motorcycle on levelground and in an upright position.Remove the seat(s).

WarningUse coolant mixture containingcorrosion inhibitors and anti-freezesuitable for aluminium engines andradiators. Always use the anti-freeze in accordance with theinstructions of the manufacturer.Coolant mixture that contains anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitorscontains toxic chemicals that areharmful to the human body.

Coolant Level Adjustment

Allow the engine to cool.

Remove the cap from the expansiontank, and add coolant mixturethrough the filler opening until thelevel reaches the `MAX' mark. Refitthe cap.Refit the seat.

NOTE• If the coolant level is being

checked because thecoolant has overheated,also check the level in theradiator and top-up ifnecessary.

• In an emergency, wateralone can be added to thecooling system. However,the coolant must bereturned to the correctmixture ratio as soon aspossible.

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by anauthorised Triumph dealer inaccordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Radiator HosesCheck the radiator hoses for cracksor deterioration, and hose clips fortightness in accordance withscheduled maintenancerequirements. Have your authorisedTriumph dealer replace any defectiveitems.

Check the radiator grille and fins forobstructions by insects, leaves ormud. Clean off any obstructions witha stream of low-pressure water.

WarningDo not remove the expansion tankor radiator pressure cap when theengine is hot. When the engine ishot, the coolant inside theexpansion tank will be hot and alsounder pressure. Contact with thishot, pressurised coolant will causescalds and skin damage.

CautionA year-round type of antifreeze isinstalled in the cooling systemwhen the motorcycle leaves thefactory. It is coloured blue,contains a 50% solution ofethylene glycol, and has a freezingpoint of -35ºC (-31ºF).

WarningThe fan operates automaticallywhen the engine is running.Always keep hands and clothingaway from the fan as contact withthe rotating fan can cause injury.

Drive ChainFor safetyand topreventexcessive

wear the drive chain must bechecked, adjusted and lubricated inaccordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.Checking, adjustment andlubrication must be carried out morefrequently for extreme conditionssuch as salty or heavily grittedroads.If the chain is badly worn orincorrectly adjusted (either too looseor too tight) the chain could jump offthe sprockets or break. Therefore,always replace worn or damagedchains using genuine Triumph partssupplied by an authorised Triumphdealer.

Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 500miles and also after riding in wetweather, on wet roads, or any timethat the chain appears dry.Use the special chain lubricant asrecommended in the specificationsection.Apply lubricant to the sides of therollers then allow the motorcyclestand unused for at least 8 hours(overnight is ideal). This will allowthe oil to penetrate to the chain ‘O’-rings etc.Before riding, wipe off any excessoil.If the chain is especially dirty, cleanfirst and then apply oil as mentionedabove.

WarningA loose or worn chain, or a chainthat breaks or jumps off thesprockets could catch on theengine sprocket or lock the rearwheel.A chain that snags on the enginesprocket will injure the rider andlead to loss of motorcycle controland an accident.Similarly, locking the rear wheelwill lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

CautionDo not use a pressure wash toclean the chain as this may causedamage to the chain components.

Tyre WearAs the tyre tread wears down, thetyre becomes more susceptible topunctures and failure. It is estimatedthat 90% of all tyre problems occurduring the last 10% of tread life(90% worn). It is, therefore, falseeconomy and unsafe to use tyres

until they are worn to theirminimum.

Minimum RecommendedTread DepthIn accordance with the periodicmaintenance chart, measure thedepth of the tread with a depthgauge, and replace any tyre that hasworn to, or beyond the minimumallowable tread depth specified inthe table below:

WarningIncorrect tyre inflation will causeabnormal tread wear andinstability problems that may leadto loss of control and an accident.Under-inflation may result in thetyre slipping on, or coming off therim.

Tyre ReplacementAll Triumph motorcycles are carefullyand extensively tested in a range ofriding conditions to ensure that themost effective tyre combinations areapproved for use on each model. Itis essential that approved tyres,fitted in approved combinations, areused when purchasing replacementtyres. The use of non-approvedtyres, or approved tyres in non-approved combinations, may lead tomotorcycle instability and anaccident. See the specificationsection for details of approved tyrecombinations. Always have tyresfitted and balanced by yourauthorised Triumph dealer who hasthe necessary training and skills toensure safe, effective fitment.

WarningOnly operate this Triumphmotorcycle at high speed in closedcourse on-road competition or onclosed course race tracks. Highspeed operation should only thenbe attempted by riders who havebeen instructed in the techniquesnecessary for high speed ridingand are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions. High speed operation inany other circumstances isdangerous and will lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningOperation with excessively worntyres is hazardous and willadversely affect traction, stabilityand handling which may lead toloss of control and an accident.When tubeless tyres becomepunctured, leakage is often veryslow. Always inspect tyres veryclosely for punctures. Check thetyres for cuts, embedded nails orother sharp objects. Operationwith punctured or damaged tyreswill adversely affect motorcyclestability and handling which maylead to loss of control or anaccident./continued

Warning/continuedCheck the rims for dents ordeformation. Operation withdamaged or defective wheels ortyres is dangerous and loss ofmotorcycle control or an accidentcould result.Always consult your authorisedTriumph dealer for tyrereplacement, or for a safetyinspection of the tyres.



89


WarningIf a tyre sustains a puncture, thetyre must be replaced. Failure toreplace a punctured tyre, oroperation with a repaired tyre canlead to instability, loss of control oran accident.

WarningDo not install tube-type tyres ontubeless rims. The bead will notseat and the tyres could slip on therims, causing rapid tyre deflationthat may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident. Neverinstall an inner tube inside atubeless tyre. This will causefriction inside the tyre and theresulting heat build-up may causethe tube to burst resulting in rapidtyre deflation, loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident.

WarningIf tyre damage is suspected, suchas after striking the kerb, ask yourauthorised Triumph dealer toinspect the tyre both internally andexternally. Remember, tyredamage may not always be visiblefrom the outside. Operation of themotorcycle with damaged tyrescould lead to loss of control and anaccident.

WarningWhen replacement tyres arerequired, consult your authorisedTriumph dealer who will arrangefor the tyres to be selected, in acorrect combination, from theapproved list and fitted accordingto the tyre manufacturer'sinstructions.When tyres are replaced, allowtime for the tyres to seat to therim (approximately 24 hours).During this seating period, ridecautiously as an incorrectly seatedtyre could cause loss of control oran accident.Initially, the new tyres will notproduce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyresand the rider must allow adequateriding distance (approximately 100miles) to become accustomed tothe new handling characteristics.24 hours after fitting, the tyrepressures must be checked andadjusted, and the tyres examinedfor correct seating. Rectificationmust be carried out as necessary.The same checks and adjustmentsmust also be carried out when 100miles have been travelled afterfitting.

CleaningFrequent, regular cleaning is anessential part of the maintenance ofyour motorcycle. If regularlycleaned, the appearance will bepreserved for many years. Cleaningwith warm water containing anautomotive cleaner is essential at alltimes but particularly so afterexposure to sea breezes, sea water,dusty or muddy roads and in winterwhen roads are treated for ice andsnow.

Although, under the terms of yourmotorcycle warranty, cover isprovided against the corrosion ofcertain items, the owner is expectedto observe this reasonable advicewhich will safeguard againstcorrosion and enhance theappearance of the motorcycle. Donot use household detergent, as theuse of such products will lead topremature corrosion.

Preparation for WashingBefore washing, precautions must betaken to keep water off the followingplaces.Rear opening of the mufflers: Coverwith a plastic bag secured withrubber bands.Clutch and brake levers, switchhousings on the handlebar: Coverwith plastic bags.Ignition switch: Cover the keyholewith tape.

Where to be CarefulAvoid spraying water with any greatforce near the following places:• Instruments.• Brake cylinders and brake

callipers.• Under the fuel tank.• Headstock bearings.

NOTE• Use of soaps that contain

high levels of alkaline willleave a residue on paintedsurfaces, and may alsocause water spotting.Always used a low alkalinesoap to aid the cleaningprocess.

WarningDo not spray any water at allunder the rider's seat. The rider’sseat has the engine’s air intakeducts fitted to its base and anywater sprayed in this area couldenter the airbox and engine,causing damage to both items.

CautionUse of high-pressure spraywashers is not recommended.When using pressure washers,water may be forced into bearingsand other components causingpremature wear from corrosionand loss of lubrication.



104


After WashingRemove the plastic bags and tape,and clear the air intakes.Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.Test the brakes before motorcycleoperation.Start the engine and run it for 5minutes. Ensure adequateventilation for the exhaust fumes.Use a dry cloth to absorb waterresidue. Do not allow water to standon the machine as this will lead tocorrosion.

Unpainted Aluminium ItemsItems such as brake and clutchlevers must be correctly cleaned topreserve their appearance.Use a proprietary brand ofaluminium cleaner which does notcontain abrasive or caustic elements.Clean aluminium items regularly, inparticular after use in inclementweather, where the componentsmust be hand washed and driedeach time the machine is used.Warranty claims due to inadequatemaintenance will not be allowed.

Cleaning of the ExhaustSystem

All parts of the exhaust system ofyour motorcycle must be cleanedregularly to avoid a deterioration ofits appearance. These instructionscan be applied to chrome, brushedstainless steel and carbon fibrecomponents alike.

NOTE• The exhaust system must

be cool before washing toprevent water spotting.

WashingPrepare a mixture of water and mildsoap. Do not use a high alkalinecontent soap as commonly found atcommercial car washes because itleaves a residue.Wash the exhaust system with a softcloth. Do not use an abrasivescouring pad or steel wool. They willdamage the finish.Rinse the exhaust systemthoroughly.Ensure no soap or water enters themufflers.

WarningNever wax or lubricate the brakediscs. Loss of braking power andan accident could result. Clean thedisc with a proprietary brand of oilfree brake disc cleaner.



105


Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far aspossible with a soft cloth. Do not runthe engine to dry the system orspotting will occur.

ProtectingWhen the exhaust system is dry, rub'Motorex 645 Clean And Protect' intothe surface.

It is recommended that regularprotection be applied to the systemas this will both protect and enhancethe system's appearance.

CautionThe use of silicone products suchas WD40 will cause discolourationof the chrome and must not beused. Similarly, the use of abrasivecleaners such as Solvol Autosol willdamage the system and must notbe used.

Storage

STORAGE

Preparation for StorageClean the entire vehicle thoroughly.Empty the fuel from the fuel tankinto a secure container.

Reduce the tyre pressures by about20%.

Set the motorcycle on a box or standso that both wheels are raised offthe ground. (If this cannot be done,put boards under the front and rearwheels to keep dampness away fromthe tyres).Spray oil on all unpainted metalsurfaces to prevent rusting. Preventoil from getting on rubber parts,brake discs or in the brake callipers.Lubricate the control cables.Remove the battery, and store itwhere it will not be exposed to directsunlight, moisture, or freezingtemperatures. During storage itshould be given a slow charge (oneampere or less) about once a month.Keep the battery well charged during

cold weather so that the electrolytedoes not freeze and crack thebattery. The more discharged thebattery becomes, the more easily itfreezes.Tie plastic bags over the exhaustpipes to prevent moisture fromentering.Put a cover over the motorcycle tokeep dust and dirt from collecting onit.

WarningPetrol is extremely flammable andcan be explosive under certainconditions. Turn the ignition switchOFF. Do not smoke. Make sure thearea is well ventilated and freefrom any source of flame orsparks; this includes any appliancewith a pilot light.



108

Storage

Preparation afterStorageCharge the battery if necessary, andinstall it in the motorcycle.Fill the fuel tank with fuel.Change the engine oil and filter.Check all the points listed in thedaily safety checks section.Before starting the engine, removeone of the spark plugs from eachcylinder.Put side stand down.

Crank the engine on the startermotor several times until the oilpressure light goes out.Replace spark plugs and startengine.Check brakes and operation.
